i was watching some of NBC's coverage of Tim Russert's death yesterday and thought they did a great job. they had Tom Brokaw anchoring a one hour special on it...it was great. i didnt get to see it, but this morning Matt Laurer came in for Weekend Today and headed up a special...and Lester Holt was not even involved. i'm not sure how that happend...Lester Holt is an amazing anchor and reporter...the man is just unflappable, i have never seen him get caught off guard...it's amazing. I prefer him by far to Lauer.
this made me think of who my favorite anchors/reporters are on the networks:
-Lester Holt, NBC
-Shepard Smith, FOX News
-Ann Curry, NBC
-Keith Morrison (phenomenal reporter...when his stories are on, i seriously lose track of time...he's that good!)
-Tom Costello, NBC
-Laurie Dhue FOX News (she's actually not there anymore though)
-Steve Hartman (you've probably seen this story before....it's amazing http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ek1iIOTsiRo)

hey girl. i need to call you back, but until then... aw, TIM RUSSERT! i was crying so hard this morning when his son was on the Today Show. and that picture of him touching his Dad's chair: WOW.
i got your voicemail after i had just attended a funeral for a high school friend. apparently, June is the month of death for me! URGH! thank God i have faith! :) <><
and Ann Curry is my fave! her parents met the same way my grandparents did during WWII. thus, she is also irish & japanese like my Mom is. hehe... cool, huh? so, if you can ever get anything autographed from her, make sure you you get two: one for you & one for me! hehe.... :)
