The last vestage of impartial jounalism at NBC.. Prepare for a huge shift to the left as he was the only thing holding it back..

I'm not so sure I agree with the first part, but I definitely agree that he was more object than the rest at NBC. Part 2, is spot on.

He was one of the very few journalist that reported on political issues that I respected. He was very insightful and never appeared to have an agenda he was pushing...unlike Fox news.

It is a loss for journalism.

He died at work. That would suck.

How VERY true. I read his books 'Big Russ and me' and 'Wisdom of our fathers'. A hell of a man.

Collapsed after a taping. Wonder what it was about..


RIP
