NBC's Meet the Press is sloooowly dipping in ratings since the death of host Tim Russert. The station was beaten out by CBS's Face the Nation last month, barely ahead of ABC's This Week. The question isn't: Why is MTP falling, since the answer is obvious: Russert was Meet the Press. The question is, why [...]

In her new book "Patriotic Grace - What It Is and Why We Need It Now" [Harper Collins], Peggy Noonan seems determined to bridge many gaps. The first hint of that intent can be seen in the dedication of her book to, among a few others, the late Meet the Press moderator Tim Russert who bridged many gaps in his own all-too-short time. Noonan also dedicates the book to the two Senators running for

Chuck Todd over at MSNBC has the greatest little toys for mapping out where the electoral votes stand. Don't get me wrong, I miss Tim Russert and his chalk board analysis. Chuck just has the Blacberry and Iphone crowd enthralled. I just think it's neat! Video Link Needless to say, I think Senator McCain is in some serious trouble.

The news division of NBC and its affiliates were once populated by stand-up men such as John Cameron Swayze, Chet Huntley, David Brinkley, and Tim Russert. What ever their biases, these were solid, professional broadcasters, a trend very much carried...

As I get ready to view and review the talk shows tomorrow morning, TVNewser gives us a look back at last Sunday. With Tim Russert, Meet the Press was the top ranked Sunday show, but while the king was looking down, the jester stole his thorny crown. Last week’s top rated Sunday Morning Talk Show [...]

A few instant thoughts after watching the debate on my DVR: Joe Biden won the all-important (to me) “pronouncing nuclear correctly” part of the debate. Palin must have said NUK-YOU-LAR at least 10 times. Made me wince every time. To Gwen Ifill: I knew Tim Russert. I watched Tim Russert. I watched debates [...]

… I really miss Tim Russert right now, don’t you? She’d almost certainly never appear on it, but seeing Palin flail about on Russert’s MTP would have been pretty damn amusing.

Filed under: News , Reality-Free As this election season turns into the home stretch, whether you're for McCain or Obama, this is a very exciting time in politics -- and I find myself really missing Tim Russert quite a lot. This point was really driven home for me when I watched Tim Russert's show Meet the Press last week. Tom Brokaw has been a really good anchorman and reporter, but -- I'm sorry...

Tim Russert, in his last lecture at Notre Dame, April 2008: "[After] all my discussions with presidents, both while in office and after they left, and their advisors, while in office and after they left, and in my reading of history, particularly presidential history, I am ever more convinced that a leader cannot make tough decisions unless he or she is asked tough questions. It is the only vehicle...

Photo: Getty Images If you are a regular viewer of Meet the Press , you've probably become comfortable with Tom Brokaw already. The former NBC News anchor took over after Tim Russert's death, and although he is a little soporific and less dogged in pursuit of answers, you get the sense that interview subjects really take him seriously — which wouldn't necessarily be the case if David Gregory or Chris...
