I was always a fan of the late Tim Russert! He had his missteps, but I thought he made good attempts at being fair and impartial as a journalist, considering he worked for two of the most liberal politicians New York has seen. Russert also wrote two very good books about the bonds between father and son, (Big Russ and Me and Wisdom of Our Fathers) was a class act (a class that NBC is missing now) and he is missed. Tim Russert was a leader in his field!
His son Luke has followed in his footsteps in entering journalism. Check out this clip, boldly asking Congressman Charles Rangel questions about his ethics violations and not shying away from his snarky response.
Reporters need to follow Luke Russert's steps and ask politicians the hard questions, regardless of party. A tip of the cap to Luke Russert who has a promising career ahead of him.
