That's sad. I rarely agreed with some things he said but he seemed like a cool guy.

 

[gh4chiefs]

He did indeed.

 

[Gryffindorian]

Wikipedia's been updated, saying the article was about "a person who recently died."

 

[Out Of My Vulcan Mind]

It's been confirmed by NBC. Shocking news indeed. I thought he was a good, strong, fair interviewer. Condolences to his loved ones.

 

[Kryton]

Sad, shocking news...watching it on MSNBC right now.

FUCK that makes me mad...I was SO hoping he'd be there to help us through November.

Shit, is that a tear? Looks like it might be. Gotta go.

 

[Dorian Thompson]

Brokaw was struggling pretty hard to get through the report. It's a damn shame, this.

I didn't see the video, but heard the audio of Brokaw and his grief was very obvious.

One of the greats. I will miss him, especially this year.

 

[Professor Zoom]

Like everyone: I'm shocked. I just hopped onto the net...and there it was.
So unexpected.
A good, clear journalist. One of best...of a dwindling pool of great journalists.

 

[A beaker full of death]

Astounding. Only 58!
You could see him gaining weight over the years. Man...

A good, clear journalist. One of best...of a dwindling pool of great journalists.

Exactly. So few left who are truly journalists.

No one could mangle a whiteboard like Russert and still make it good reporting.

WoW, just sad.
You see him so often you just seem like you know the guy, even if you didn't agree with him sometimes.

Take care Tim and God speed.

 

[DarkHelmet]

I came back from lunch, popped on CNN.com and saw this.

Sad news for journalism, and for me.

Rest in peace, sir.

man that sucks . . . I always enjoyed watching him explain things on election nights

 

[Tom Servo]

That sucks. I really liked listening to him, he was very fair and honest in his interviews.

Despite his liberal tendencies, Meet the Press was one show that this Republican didn't miss...

 

[Dar70]

Wow. To sad.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Very sad news.

Rest in peace, Tim.
