agree, but (none / 0)
I just think he should be lauded for what he was, a very good moderater of a political talk show, not given credit for being in the same league as Murrow. Just wait til you see it pear. Look, I'm not sitting here fuming at my tv in disbelief, I've come to expect this. But let's call a spade a spade. it's just more shameless self-promotion of the media. Russert was a huge personality, and I have no problem that they're covering his shocking and untimely death--I think its appropriate. I've watched his show religiously for years. It's just that they're creating a great television "journalist" out of his memory that never existed.

I agree completely with your assessment of who he was, but I just think it is human nature to exaggerate accomplishments when a death like this happens, so that is why it doesn't bother me much.  Time will sort out who the real greats were.
