A Real Tribute for Russert
Wed, 18 Jun 2008 12:37:42 PDT
With the passing of Tim Russert from a sudden heart attack on Friday, journalism lost one of its greatest practitioners. Russert, in many ways, exemplified what mainstream media should be with an adherence to journalistic principles during a time that saw trends of a sound-bite culture and sensationalism for the sake of ratings. Russert was both feared and respected by politicians from both sides of the aisle. Perhaps even more importantly, the enthusiasm and dedication that he brought to the t

Giant Cow Back At Turner Field (No, Not Andruw)
Wed, 18 Jun 2008 15:07:35 PDT
