        Tim Russert, the host of “Meet the Press,” and NBC’s Washington bureau chief, has died, according to a family member. He was 58.

        Mr. Russert was a towering figure in American journalism and moderated several debates during the recent presidential primary season.

        Tom Brokaw, the former anchor of NBC Nightly News, came on the air at 3:39 p.m. that Mr. Russert had collapsed and died early this afternoon while at work. He had just returned from Italy with his family.

        Mr. Russert hailed from Buffalo and worked for two prominent New York Democrats, Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan and Gov. Mario Cuomo, before being hired in 1984 by NBC in its Washington bureau. He became bureau chief four years later.

            I just got off the phone with my dad making sure he's going to his check ups. He just turned 60. With this and Jeffery collins' dad I had to make sure.

              Tim Russert was one of the best guys in the media, this is a huge loss.

              btw, wikipedia had it updated within minutes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Russert

              EDIT: Update: he died of coronary embolism, not heart attack

                Not many media people that I have much respect for, but he was one of the few who brilliantly knew how to ride that line and garner respect from both sides of the aisle. A massive loss

                    Spot on Reporter who took pride in grilling his guests
                    in the most intelligent way. Total shock quite a loss to the journalism and political community.

                    So white-middle class Americans have been told by their Television sets to be fearful of:

                    1. Mexicans/Latinos from the South bringing drugs and killings n' shit.
                    2. African Americans cause mos def they are raging a race war and want to occupy America like how the plebs occupied Wall St.
                    3. Iranians/Afghans/Any one of middle eastern origin to be quite frank, cause you know Islam...
                    4. North Koreans/Chinese cause you know everything...

                    Am I close here?

                      Good guys always die first. Bill O'Reilly will live to 120. RIP Russert. You were the best of a dying breed of real, honest journalists, and a great man to boot.

                      You can't have manslaughter without laughter.

                      "Son," he said without preamble, "never trust a man who doesn't drink because he's probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They're the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They're usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they're a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can't trust a man who's afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It's damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he's heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl."
