An NBC News flack shoots down Monday's snarky NYP Page Six snipe from an anonymous NBC "insider" claiming Tim Russert's 23-year-old son Luke is M.I.A. at the network: "Luke Russert is, and will continue to be, a valued member of the NBC News correspondent team. Just last week, he appeared all day on MSNBC with hourly updates for a story he was covering. Meanwhile, he is working on long-lead pieces for Dateline and the Today show, was on Nightly News a couple weeks ago, and has recently been added to our talented team covering Capitol Hill.... He has never been asked to blog or Twitter... It's unfortunate that a gossip column would choose to attack a hard working, talented young man who is getting a great start as a broadcast journalist."

No wonder Luke is not seen so often. He certainly has his hands and crotch full.
