Tag Archives: Tim Russert

In truth, I gave up on television news many years ago, so I never saw Tim Russert do his talking-head thing. Apparently I missed something. I did think the name of his show, Meet The Press, was pretty pathetic, considering it was a one-man act, and he’d never even been a member of the press. That was one reason I gave up on the whole thing–too much artifice and dissimulation. At least he (reportedly) made no bones about being a Democrat, something most of his surviving peers still prefer to hide.
