First responders

Fascinating. Brian Williams blogs about beating the first responders to the scene in New Orleans. And after watching NBC Nightly News tonight I think that Brian Williams, or his producer, or someone is making an effort to try to educate the public on how the decisions about the news and what goes on the news get made. Tonight the lead story was the blackout in L.A. Then came the story about the confirmation hearings for John Roberts. At this point Williams explained to the audience that normally the confirmation hearings would've been the lead story.
