Russert is losing credibility as he shows his partisanship more and more.

Exactly where in the show did Russert show his partisanship. I watched the interview last night and if that was a Democrat official being interviewed we would have screamed about his being throw softballs. Russert wasnt argumentative, he let Cheney finish his thoughts without interupting him. He didnt force him to speak in sound bytes. The purpose of these programs is to ask those appearing tough questions. It's not to be a cheering section for one side or the other. Cheney hit home runs on just about every question, why whine about press bias?

I agree! I cheered with every answer our fine VP gave. Including the Halliburton questions.

UNLESS, of course, you are Hillary Rodham Clinton....in which case Russert melts like putty in her hands, smiling and giggling like a school boy with a crush on his Ashley Judd look-alike first grade teacher.

Maybe I saw a different interview yesterday.

I was appalled when Russert showed figures on the economy the day President Bush took office and compared them to today. He never mentioned the effects on the economy of 9/11, corporate scandals, war in Afghanistan, war in Iraq, etc... Russert instead asks VP Cheney to look at the figures and asks "how can you run for re-election?" (how can you be such a moron Mr. Russet?)

Also, when talking about Iraq, he stated as fact:
1).There was no connection between Iraq and 9/11.
2).He stated as fact that the US was not at all welcomed as liberators.

Isn't it amazing that Timmy can know this as fact. I have read reports contradicting his facts.
