She and Powell had an exchange about whether Russert was still speaking. I guess from everyone's reaction she was cutting it off, but I could not find it, to me it looked like she thought they were clear. Either way after 13-14 minutes it is hard to make the case there was some sort of egregious censorship going on.

Russert is being melodramatic. It should have been cut. It was a bizarre peek behind the curtain, but hardly a muzzling of the free press. Russert is being melodramatic. It should have been cut.

Since I couldn't hear what was being said at the remote, I thought Tim was just plain rude. No doubt Powell was ticked at his staffer, and then thought, "Damn, who does Russert think he is to admonish my staff?"

Its plain that the interview was planned for ten minutes, and at the point of interuption it was at the 13 minute mark, and the staffer interceded. Wrongly as it was shown by Powells anger. Russert is an ass and this only adds to the list of examples he has displayed in the last few months. --- There is nothing to see here.
