The spanking new NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams website is ahead of its time --for a few days at least -- in an our constantly changing techno-sphere. The anchor himself is its most visible and valuable asset, talking informally in clear, crisp, state-of-the-art video clips.
"You'll forgive the Blue Man Group look, but it's the lights we're under," Williams says from the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where NBC officially launched the site Wednesday.
In another clip, Williams speaks candidly about the media's fouled-up reporting from New Hampshire, where Barack Obama was anointed the winner in polls and by pundits before Hillary Clinton weighed in with a big primary day "upset." Viewer mail also is included, and it's all well worth a look:
