“I used to get excited every Sunday for Meet the Press the way a fan can’t wait to watch their favorite team or band. Tim Russert’s curiosity was contagious and diversity of thought was celebrated. In those days Jim Carvel and Mary Madeline modeled the passion of differing options didn’t split marriages or friendships. Now meet the press is a constant stream of narrow view points wrapped in the artificial emotion of the hero’s journey. Curiosity is replaced with villianism. Honor replaced with spit. I cried real tears at the sudden announcement of Tim Russet’s death. I displayed his picture for years afterwards on my desk. Little did I know so much more would die that day than one great man. Goodbye Meet the Press. When you decided to abandon all diversity and curiosity of options today by firing a corespondent you disagreed with you destroyed the last hope I had you were truly going to risk - become curious again and allow divergent though. I will never listen or watch this show again.”
