NBC’s Today show aired this excerpt from Tim Russert’s book, Big Russ and Me. It seemed a fitting tribute to Russert, and a blessing to fathers everywhere on this Father’s Day.

READ: Russert: Vigilance needed on campaign claims – msnbc.com
An outstanding example of how the Internet has become a tool for information and disinformation… Journalists and librarians have their work cut out for them!
RUSSERT: I remember being in Indianapolis covering the Indiana primary and a man came up to me and said he wasn’t going to vote for Senator Obama because he was very concerned about the comments made by Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s pastor. I said, “That’s interesting. As a reporter, I’m curious what comments particularly bothered you?” He said, “Well, I can’t think of any that come to mind, but I also read on the Internet that he’s a Muslim.” And I said, “Now wait a minute. You can’t have both. You can’t be offended by his Christian minister and then say he’s a Muslim. You’ve got to pick one.”

READ: TIM RUSSERT DIES FROM APPARENT HEART ATTACK – New York Post
Tragic news. Russert was a stellar journalist and a tough questioner in MTP. He will be greatly missed.
