Oh, but Russert does badger and interrogate some of his guests.
Just the conservative ones.
The Dems get to use it as a bully pulpit.

Good points Sir. You should see what he had to say about the 9/11 commission. Actually since most of it was posted in an article by a gopusa.com columnist (that I posted in another thread here) I'll go ahead and share that as well....
"I was down at the chow hall here in Baghdad one night, when the 9-11 commission was in session and being aired on CNN. After one of the sessions had finished for that day, CNN had a panel of “experts” on that were being interviewed by the newscasters. The whole question of whether or not we should be in Iraq came up. One of the members being interviewed immediately started slamming the president and his decision to go into Iraq. The crux of the argument was that it was a mistake and that we should not be in Iraq at all. While this debate began to unfold, I looked around the chow hall. I work in field with many type A patriots that are considered to be some of the best in the world at what they do. At first, almost all conversation ceased. Then people started synthesizing what was being said. A lot of grumbling started. Some people started yelling at the TV. Others got so upset that they got up, swore at the television and walked right out of the chow hall. These are consummate military professionals who have served the United States loyally for years. Is this the thanks they should get? Is this how we treat those that support and defend the American way of life? I sat there and watched helplessly as the “experts” in America played Monday morning Commander-in-Chief and dealt a series of crushing blows to the morale of America’s military. When it comes right down to it, the service member feels betrayed by the very society that sent them to fight. The service members of United States have enough to worry about on a daily basis, they sure as hell do not need to be worrying about whether or not the folks that decided to send the military actually support them."
And finally:
"At this difficult time we all need to support one another. The people of America need to support the leaders that were elected to office. The politicians need to unite and show this unity to the people that put them in office. The senate and congress need to get behind their elected president and support him to the best of their ability. Lastly, the government and people of the United States need to continue to support the service members that serve in harm’s way on a daily basis. “One team, one fight.” In the end, we are all in it together. We are Americans, and we don’t lose!"
