A sad day

Tim Russert (1950-2008).

Meet the Press remembers a great bloke. Warning: It’s very hard to stay stolid while watching Tom Brokaw fight back tears. The New York Times Caucus Blog death announcement brings 2700 comments.

Russert’s tragic death immediately brought to mind the death of another stalwart of Sunday morning political journalism, this time in Australia. The laid-back, insightful and hilarious Matt Price, a journalist for The Australian and a regular on Insiders, died in November 2007 at the age of 46, and the blog announcement of his death brought 762 comments.
