This is shocking news: ["NBC's Tim Russert dead at 58"]. I'm just so shocked by this I have nothing else to say.
Update: Dan Kennedy has a pretty good post here: ["Tim Russert, 1950-2008"]. Here's hoping they don't dumb down "Meet the Press." We've had enough of that already.
According to someone on the Boston Radio Archives board last night, Tom Brokaw will be sitting in this week.
Update 2: John Nichols has this piece here: ["Tim Russert and the End of No-Talking-Points Journalism"]. Kennedy has another post up about potential successors being David Gregory, Chris Matthews, or Joe Scarborough ... Scarborough? You're kidding, right? If he is in the running, I should be the next host of "Meet the Press"! Seriously though, maybe NBC should do a nation-wide search for a new host and find a real, working class hero kind of journalist to host the show.
