“It is odd that NBC initially decided to sit on what is essentially a breaking news story until Brian Williams and the Nightly News could unveil it (at least for the West Coast audience),” Tim Goodman opines.
“After the segment aired on the East Coast, it was released by NBC and began showing up on the other cable news channels, but with the boldfaced NBC News stamp on it, of course. And while Bay Area TV viewers had to wait until the 5:30 p.m. Nightly News broadcast to see the segment, it was immediately available on the MSNBC Web site an hour and a half earlier.”
