Quote of the Day: On Tim Russert

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.”
