Are you watching the coverage? I've seen so many people cry on both CNN and MSNBC.

It's so sad; I've been impressed by how well various folks have held it together (but in some part it seems like it may be because it hasn't really sunk in yet).

I think the most touching I've seen so far is Andrea Mitchell. You can just hear in her voice how much this hurts.

Yeah. Olbermann's having a harder and harder time (I'm expecting men to cry on camera at any second here, which would be a not bad thing really, but oh do I feel for these people trying to do their job under these circumstances). Andrea Mitchell almost lost it earlier, but seems to have pulled it together a little more.

I think everyone is just stunned.

Oh,I knew who he was,but not his work. Yours was the second notice in a row on my f-list.
Your country has sufferd a loss.

I think Russert is going to go down as a truly significant figure in journalism history of the 20th and 21st century, simply for the model he provided. I don't know of anyone one on the left or the right who ever accused him of anything other than being professional. And from everything you see about him from the people that knew him he was a seriously good man and stand up guy.

So sad. :-(

What?! Is Tim Russert old enough to be dying?

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

What?!?

[ladyjaida.livejournal.com]

Holy shit. What? Just googled it after I saw your post and holy shit.

I pretty much broke when I heard that earlier. :-(

I was okay until I watched various news people lose it on air.

I don't recall it being reported up here.
We aren't really aware of each other's news.
News programing, I mean.
