Brian Williams explains on The Daily Nightly: “I took one look at the rundown of stories for tonight’s broadcast (taking into account disparate subject matter, our choices for today and the limited opportunities for ‘flow’ between stories) and pronounced it ‘a dog’s breakfast.’“
“Let me quickly backfill: this is no reflection on the stories themselves (there are plenty of notable developments taking place around the world today) or the correspondents, producers and others breaking their backs to get all of this on the air tonight (say nothing of the dangers of reporting from Iraq these days). It’s just that some days it instantly and reflexively comes together… and on other days, we have a lot in common with Purina.”
