The loss is still being measured — and with each day it’s clear it is even greater than originally imagined. From USA Today:

Tom Rosenstiel, director of the Project for Excellence in Journalism, says, “Russert was a political analyst more than a reporter. His commentary wasn’t based off opinions. He was assessing impact, direction and implications based off deep knowledge and deep research. … That is the kind of reporting that we don’t have enough of on network television.”

    They all honor him, because he was a member of the village, a selfimportant blowhard who asked the “gotcha” questions, but never asked a followup question or went off script even when the victim gave a total non answer to a question. Good interviewer? HA!
