I think it's not just because of who Russert was, but also because of the role he carved out for himself as a kind of ombudsman -- the mediator not only of a television show but of a weekly dialogue between the public and the political establishment.
Robinson also said that Russert effectively confronted his fellow insiders with the questions and concerns of those living outside. Words that will resonate with Ombuds in any industry. (Washington Post, thanks Walt.)
