Does anyone have Tim Russert's email address?

His panel of experts was completely biased this morning--Safire and Novack, and representing the left side supposedly--David Broder (who supported Bush in 2000) and Doris Kearns Goodwin, a liberal personally but she does not play one on TV.

What a travasty. One of the gems to emerge from this balanced panel--the insurgents will increase their violence to try to defeat Bush.

3. My letter to Russert

Here's a letter I just sent to Russert at [e-mail]

Dear Mr. Russert,

I am writing to express my extreme disappointment with your absurdly unbalanced
Meet the Press show this morning. At one time, I believe, you were considered a
respectable journalist, and one occasionally does still see flashes of that on your show.
Unfortunately, over the last few years, you have been coopted increasingly by
the Republican propaganda machine, to the point where you now feel no qualms
or shame about going right along with their meme du jour.

Following a week where the distance between reality and the Bush Administration's
ludicrous spin on Iraq became increasingly clear, you chose to devote most of your
show to interviewing Gen. Abizaid spouting the Administration's talking points ---
apparently reading from a TelePrompTer. I fail to understand the point of this
exercise. It is unlikely that a serving general would publicly dispute his
Commander-in-Chief. At least the poor man was able to get in a dig about
the upcoming Iraqi elections being like the 2000 elections in the U.S. Then,
instead of following up Gen. Abizaid's pap with a skeptical analysis, you handed
things over to two right-wing pundits (Novak and Safire), a half-asleep anal
retentive middle-of-the-roader (Broder) and a historian who, while personally
liberal, is not a partisan. Not surprisingly, this led to twenty minutes of unmitigated
Kerry-bashing. The only thing lacking was an announcement at the end that George
Bush had authorized your show.

If you have any ethics left --- which I doubt --- you will follow up this shameful show
with one that features only Gen. Clark, Gen. McPeak or Gen. Zinni, and have a round
table comprising E.J. Dionne, Paul Krugman, Davis Broder (he's irrelevant anyway) and,
say, Robert Dallek. The only problem is that, unlike your panel today, this proposed
panel would not include an accused criminal (Novak) or a known dirty-trickster (Safire).
They don't have too many of those on the left. Oh yes, and perhaps you can get
Keith Olbermann to moderate instead of yourself. What do you say, Mr. Russert? A
weekend off to go watch the Bills lose?
