23. That led to an interesting circular journey on Google

I hadn't heard that assertion about being a secret GOP asset before, so I threw "was Tim Russert a GOP supporter" at Google.

Wikipedia had nothing but Google in turn had an entry from something called Conservapedia

https://www.conservapedia.com/Tim_Russert

I figured a right wing site would maybe mention the cocktail party, but their reference to the GOP support angle is this:

On the liberal side, he is attacked for, as a Democratic Underground (sic) stated, being "...anything BUT an objective journalist."[7]

Didn't find anything else, so far. The link to DU in their references goes nowhere, http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Time%20for%20change/31 , though a RW website might be linking to an alt reality version of DU.

Still digging
