The
subject line
says it
all...
Though I am a self-proclaimed nerd, I am also a very avid news junkie, and in some cases, I love it more than the technology that provides it to me on a daily basis (TV, PC (RSS), Radio, you name it, I have probably used it), and that fact probably has spilled onto the CD forums occasionally.
When I got word of Tim's death today, it came as a shock (wall of bricks hitting). He has shaped and delivered a lot of serious news over many years, and had some hard intelligent interviews with incredibly powerful people. He is one of very few journalists whose aura can probably be captured in various single clips, for honestly that is all I have seen of Tim on TV, but he was just THAT GOOD.
Considering the current political season we're in, it goes without saying that a major void has been made.
RIP Tim Russert...
