That he knew that we needed all kinds of people in journalism because if we didn't have it we were going to get one-sided journalism.

In its “Weekly Update,” Media Matters launched its attack by asserting that Russert, as the host of Democratic presidential debates, has all but ignored important issues such as the mortgage crisis, global warming, wiretapping and executive power, while questioning Dennis Kucinich about his claim to have seen a UFO and John Edwards about his expensive haircut.

"I regret that if my referencing that moment of trauma for our entire nation and in particular the Kennedy family was in any way offensive.

How did she go from inevitable to in trouble? I think it all began with the very first contest: Iowa. Iowa is where Clinton needed to strangle the Barack Obama campaign in its crib. She needed to do him in at the very beginning, while her inevitability argument still had credibility. True, some in the Clinton campaign were worried about Iowa. Mike Henry, her deputy campaign manager, wrote a 1,500-word internal memo saying Clinton should skip the state entirely and spend her time and money elsewhere. Bill Clinton had not run...
