MSNBC NBC Tribute to Tim Russert

June 13, 2008

Tim Russert, "a giant in journalism and in politics" passed away unexpectedly on June 13, 2008 at age 58.

He has been a guest in our living room every Sunday since he took over "Meet the Press" in 1991; after having joined NBC News in the Washington bureau in 1984.

So it can easily be understandable that NBC did a must-see and appropriate tribute to one of the more professional -- and powerful journalists from inside the beltway bubble.

We hold his friends, family and loved ones in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

I was in tears when I heard the news and whenever I see Tim Russert tribute especially when msnbc shows when they show Big Russ.

To the entire NBC network employees and friends and family of Tim. He was like a friend in my household and I too cried when I heard of his death. It will not be the same without his smiling face and intelligent reporting. God Bless You All.
