PBS scores two presidential debates with Jim Lehrer hosting the first Presidential debate and Gwen Ifill hosting the only Vice Presidential debate.
NBC’s Tom Brokaw and CBS’ Bob Schieffer (not Katie Courice?) will host the remaining two Presidential debates.
The New York Post offers a fitting full-page tribute to Tim Russert.
The tributes for Tim Russert continue, including Bob Schieffer, Walter Cronkite, Nancy Reagan, Ethel Kennedy, George Stephanopoulos, Bill and Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Barack Obama, President Bush, Andrea Mitchell, Brian Williams and Tom Brokaw.

Bob Schieffer vied with Russert for Sunday morning viewers as host of Face The Nation and described him Friday as a close friend. “He asked the best questions and then he listened for the answer,” Schieffer said.
“He delighted in scooping me and I felt the same way when I scooped him. When you slipped one past ol’ Russert, you felt as though you had hit a home run off the best pitcher in the league. I just loved Tim and I will miss him more than I can say.”

Bob Schieffer had announced he be done after the presidential inauguration reports the Washington Post.
