It seems that Arianna Huffington has run up against the impenetrable wall that is Tim Russert’s ego. Huffington, who is currently on tour for her new book Right Is Wrong: How The Lunatic Fringe Hijacked America, Shredded The Constitution, and Made Us All Less Safe, will be appearing on CNN, ABC, and CBS. She had been booked on Morning Joe and Countdown with Keith Olbermann as well, but those bookings were suddenly and inexplicably cancelled.
NBC confirmed that Huffington wouldn’t be booked on any NBC-affiliated show to promote her book, but refused to explain why.

Huffington’s people say that this is Tim Russert’s doing, that Russert is out for revenge because Huffington called him a “conventional wisdom zombie” in her book and devoted seven pages to faulting Russert for allowing his Meet the Press guests to go unchallenged (not to mention HuffPo’s RussertWatch).

Tim Russert has been seen for who he is during the Libby Trial. He is a suck up and will do what ever it takes to support his party. Meet the Press has lost many viewers and it's because Tim is a liar. Now Brian Williams tries to make him seem important but it's the ratings that count and Tim is losing that part. I hope to see new people at NBC starting with the Executive Office on down. Tim got so desperate he had to show his Father to his viewers to help his reputation it was so bad.
