There's no reason to refute any of your points. You are over-complicating the issue. He was a great journalist and a nice guy. It's very sad. That's it. It's simple and this is making you sound like a JERK.

I understand that it's sad when someone dies, but we'll have to agree to disagree with respect to Mr. Russert's journalistic quality.

Agreed.

So who in your opinion is/was one of the highest journalistic quality?

Balloon Juice puts it too harshly, but yes, this sums it up. The desire for near canonization (and the refusal to substantively address any criticism of the man) in this thread is highly disturbing.

Give it a few months. People will come to their senses and Russerts flaws(Yes he has them) will come into the light more.

Right now, just deal with it.
