He will be remembered as a man who was able to bring unbiased journalism into our homes, while educating us without to self-populating himself – but by bringing the depth of the story the pulse of passionate journalism to people around the world. He was NOT a media/news hyena that thrives on negative reporting or sensationalism to increase NBC’s ratings (unlike Fox), but by reporting and captivating the American people with his constant smile, positive attitude, integrity, knowledge, and passion for the American people and his family - at home and at work. Rest in peace Mr. Russert, you will be missed by millions of Americans, and people like me (a German) who cares about this country’s domestic and internationals politics, and who wants to be informed by journalism that is interesting, thought provoking, critical, and has class. Thank you Mr. Russert for being the man and idol that you were, and for keeping a legacy that will be unsurpassed for decades to come, until we meet again … Auf Wiedersehen Dirk Mr. Russert was a rare breed of man for this country, his profession, and for NBC.
