Tim Russert was certainly a product of the mainstream media. Yet I think he did the best job of anyone on network television in trying to run an unbiased interview, no matter who he was talking with.
Whenever I did sense that he was veering at all from the "center", it might be slightly to the left, but he's only human, and I'm sure that the career pressures within NBC could certainly be expected to blow him off course in only one direction!
What he did well, was getting the right people in front of the camera and asking the right questions. We need more of that on TV, and not just relegated to Sunday mornings. That's the kind of "reality" TV we need more of!
From what I knew he was a good, family man. Devout Christian and hard working. And certainly way too young for this to happen.
R.I.P. Tim Russert.
