26. Lots of incorrect info in this thread...

Hey folks,

I'm no Tim Russert apologist, and he kind of irks me sometimes too, but it's not that hard to get accurate info on the guy.

His father is not a journalist, he's a blue collar guy from Buffalo. Russert is a lawyer with a political background, first working for Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D) as Chief of Staff, then working for NY Governor Mario Cuomo (D) as counselor.

I don't like the "gotcha" questions either, but he's no Republican. He probably bows to the pressure of his corporate bosses.

I read his book about him and his father, and he seems like a decent guy. Why not write him at NBC and tell him your concerns?
