Has the Russert coverage been overdone?

TV critic Hal Boedeker, an admitted admirer of Tim Russert, SAYS the coverage of his death has been a bit much and, in some cases, has falsely “elevated him to preeminent journalist of his time.”

Sad, sad news

Not one of Tim Russert’s biggest fans, I nonetheless find myself shocked and deeply saddened at the news that he died unexpectedly this afternoon at the age of only 58.

HERE’s a remembrance of Russert from Freeport native Dan Balz, a correspondent for the Washington Post.

UPDATE: Here’s the video of Tom Brokaw’s bulletin on NBC:

During last night’s Republican presidential debate in Florida, Tim Russert asked Mitt Romney a question about Social Security.

Just before Romney replied that he wouldn’t raise taxes, someone is heard to whisper the term “raise taxes.”

The story is HERE.  Be sure to listen closely for the whisper.

Feminists shouldn’t show emotions

That’s what Tim Russert SAYS.

BONUS: At no extra charge, HERE is another Russert idiocy.

Someone should tell Russert to shove it

Tim Russert is OVERRATED.

UPDATE: THIS GUY, too, doesn’t care much for Timmeh and thinks Brian Williams is just as bad.
