Russert did not mention McCain campaign's reported distribution of Kessler op-ed when suggesting McCain wouldn't publicly criticize Obama over Wright

SUMMARY: NBC's Tim Russert suggested on the Today show that Sen. John McCain would "refrain from any public criticism of" Sen. Barack Obama over controversial comments made by Obama's former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. However, McCain's campaign reportedly circulated to reporters a Wall Street Journal op-ed that asserted Obama's association with Wright "raised legitimate questions."
