Life’s Curveballs

I found this one line on the Tim Russert Tribute page and I think it says it all. A good man has left the world. I wasn’t a devoted watcher of Meet the Press but I did occasionally watch it from time to time when flipping channels on Sunday morning. Nevertheless, whenever I did watch it or see Tim on another news shows I always stopped what I was doing to watch him. He had an infectious personality and whenever I saw him, I just had to watch. Even when he was asking the toughest questions, he had a smile on his face. That’s what I will remember most about Tim Russert.

In today’s politics and bias media, Tim was a refreshing voice of unbiased journalism. Other journalist should follow his example and keep their personal views personal. There are too many that let their personal agenda seep into their coverage of world events. We need more Tim Russert’s in the media but I’m afraid they are a dying breed.

My sympathy goes out to his family and friends. There is no one who can fill his shoes.
