As a journalist and as a native Western New Yorker, I felt a profound sadness upon learning that Tim Russert, the moderator for NBC's Meet the Press for the past 16 years, had passed away on Friday.
Mr. Russert, a native of Buffalo and a big fan of the NFL's Bills, was a journalist's journalist. He was all about getting the truth, even if it meant throwing a few high-and-tights at an unwilling subject, and protecting the integrity of objectivity.
Sunday mornings and politics, I'm afraid, will never be the same.
