210. I kind of thought the coverage was was going a little overboard
on Friday night but it was understandable coming from NBC. Then when it was still going on Saturday morning I thought "jeez you'd think the Pope had died".

I have nothing but sympathy for his family, friends and co-workers. That being said he was a prominent part of a media that has let this country and the world down badly over the last 30 years. There was plenty of room to criticize Tim Russert's part in that. It was only natural for those critics of his work to come out and spout off given his deification by that same media.
