In remarks made last September to a gathering of TV news people, Tim Russert challenged fellow journalists to support each other in asking tough questions during the current presidential campaign. This wasn't a speech, he was just an award presenter, and before reading the script, he made this comment. I was present in the hall, and found it significant that he'd take the time to sort of 'lecture' his colleagues. Not only was he a great journalist, but he had the self-assuredness to make this kind of statement to the news community elite. Russert made his remarks at the News & Documentary Emmy Awards in New York, September 24, 2007.
