All of us at CBS News are incredibly saddened by this shocking news. Tim Russert was a giant in our industry and was universally respected for his talent as a journalist, his perspective and his integrity. There wasn’t a better interviewer on television, someone who was tough but always fair. There is today a void in our industry and in our hearts.
