An Infinitessimal Loss: How Hard Is It To Lob The Ball?

According to ABC News, the late Tim Russert,

the moderator of NBC News' "Meet the Press,"

was known for

posing hard-hitting questions to America's leading politicians and newsmakers.

Congratulations to ABC on a hot scoop!

In view of this breaking news, and the elevation of "Meet the Press" to the realm of actual journalism, will NBC feel compelled to replace Russert with an actual hard-hitting journalist?

Will they hire Chris Floyd, perhaps, or maybe John Pilger?

No, I didn't think so.
