Reply #2: 4000 families grieve [View All]

because our media did NOT do its job in the lead up to the war. They failed to ask the tough questions and Russert was one of the worst. Moyers did a beautiful piece on this. He showed Russert the film of Cheney playing him on MTP after literally planting a story in the NY Times and when Russert questioned him, Cheney said "It's in the NY Times, Tim!". Russsert just sat there with a dumb look on his face and didn't even reply. I wanted to choke him.

No way can you watch that and not question what the hell Russert was doing.

He continually carried water for the bush administration. For 7 years.

Please can we stop canonizing this man? My sympathy to his family but he was NO saint.

4000 families grieve because men like Russert didn't do THEIR jobs.
