Feeding Frenzy

Tim Russert's dead. I suppose that's a news story. The relationship living reporters had with isn't.

Notice how it took less than a day for the tone of all the Tim Russert stories to be "My Last Interview with Tim Russert", or "My Last Conversation with Tim Russert"? It's not stories about Tim Russert, it's his fellow journalists, climbing over each others backs, so they can stand on top of his gravestone and yell, "Look at Me!"

That's the media.
