Only proving my point before regarding the media coverage of Tony Snow’s death, NBC Nightly News decided to run a story about what they call the “Russert Effect” less than two days after Tony’s Snow’s death. I mean, Snow is not even buried and NBC feels the need to put the spotlight back on their guy. As one blogger put it: It was like a state funeral for Russert while the story about Snow’s death is on the back page.
I can only imagine the editors’ meeting.
“Uh-oh… We better remind people that Russert is still dead”
Of course I am being ridiculous but don’t you think this story about Russert could have been run a little later in the week? NBC shows less class than David Gregory drunk over seas (again).
Snowe, while liked, was not beloved like Russert was. He did not make as much of an impact. Simple
Still, I’m with SW on this one, there is no reason running this report couldn’t have waited a few more days.
Sidebar - anyone else notice that a pioneer of modern cardiac surgery: Dr. DeBakey, died this week?
I did hear about Dr. DeBakey… Poor fella died at age 99… they go so young.
