Political Orientation

I remember reading in a Reader's Digest article that Tim Russert is a lifelong Democrat. If somebody can find the source, I think it would be worthwile to include this information, although he is remarkably impartial on Meet the Press.

Small thing: I removed the "still" before "An avid Bills fan."

Where did "with conservative leanings" come from? He worked for Daniel Patrick Moynihan and Mario Cuomo who certainly weren't conservative. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LM1234 (talk • contribs) 01:16, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Newspapers

I removed the whole section about newspapers and Kinght Ridder. I love newspapers as well, but this really doesn't belong here, especially with the strange time refernces ("Tuesday", "last week").

Election Night 2000

Shouldn't there be something about Election Night of 2000 and the now famous whiteboard lesson on the American election system? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.145.154.52 (talk) 15:37, 7 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Prosecution Rests in CIA Leak Trial of Former White House Aide

WASHINGTON — NBC's Tim Russert deflected criticism of his ethics and credibility as the prosecution rested its case Thursday in the obstruction and perjury trial of former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,250846,00.html Crocoite 22:26, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note on spelling of Iraq

Someone had put on there that he once misspelled Iraq as "Irak." That says nothing about him, and um, I think it should be self-evident why you don't put random occurences of a journalist misspeaking unless it is a major gaffe or part of a pattern. Also the user linked to YouTube. Shouldn't links to YouTube be banned here? 1.) it's not news and 2.) as time goes by, the videos on YouTube will eventually expire and be removed and so it makes no sense to cite something to a non-permanent source like that. 71.150.251.192 01:16, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism

Is "faux everyman image" really something that should be in the article? If you click on the reference link, it doesn't seem like a credible source. Wuzee (talk) 07:48, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, the reference link is an editorial piece, and the criticism is more of a personal attack than a real genuine criticism. ajiav 23:07, 25 February 2008

Death

Is there any credibility to this death notice or are we dealing with another case of vandalism? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.216.176.234 (talk) 19:25, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
