A sad day in the journalism and media world.  Mr. Russert was a well-respected anchor, and it was shocking to everyone when he died today!  He will be greatly missed.

Wow!! That's a shock.

Man that is a shock!! They will have a hard time finding a replacement for him.

I went to check my email and saw this and immediately turned on MSNBC. Keith is having a hard time talking about it. Wish his family, friends, coworkers etc the best of luck in this hard time.

A real bummer for sure. He will be missed!

Very shocking indeed. This should be a reminder to us all to see our doctor at least once a year. You just never know.

Buffalo's very own.

Always enjoyed listening to his reports and point of view.

I truly respected his journalism..  He was one of the few that played it straight down the middle with no hidden agendas.  He would nail you to the wall no matter who you were politically if you tried to spin anything.

Rest in Peace Mr. Russert

Prayers for his family.
