Tim Russert, NBC News' Washington bureau chief and moderator of "Meet the Press" died after collapsing at NBC Studios in New York this afternoon. He was 58 years old. Retired NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw delivered the news at 12:39 p.m. LA time:“Our beloved colleague,” a somber Mr. Brokaw called him, one of the premier journalists of our time.
