NBC Nightly News

Like 'em or not, the mainstream nightly broadcasts still draw around 30 million viewers a night... so they're still relevant in American life.

As for balance, talent and the ability to effectively use 22 minutes per show..I'd say on merit they fare well... though like any form of information/entertainment they could always do better.

Still, I'd take Brian Williams over the rest any day.

Correspondents by and large (men and women like Tim Russert, Andrea Mitchell et al... and anchors like Brian, Lester Holt, Matt Lauer et al may not have all the answers but they at the very least they do reach out to millions of Americans and try to provide context, perspective and hopefully a snapshot of our nation.

Best of all, they're going to get better because viewers are becoming more sophisticated and with so many choices along the viewing landscape broadcast networks had better improve or they'll face extinction.

Six year old boy shoots teacher.

We are tired of listening to the six year old boy shooting the teacher in Newport news. What happened to the parents. They are fully responsible for a minor. No one ever announces anything about the parents. They need to be taken to jail for of abuse of a minor. I am a parent of two, and I have never left my children alone or out of sight. I checked the school bags daily on Homeworks lunches and everything else.

Let us know what happened to the parents or if there are any no one ever heard anything about them this is only half the news. We would like to know who is responsible for the six year old.

Growing up as a kid when watching the news my family always for some reason had the choice of the peacock. Yes "NBC Nightly News" it was and I feel maybe one of the reasons was anchor Tom Brokaw, he was so professional and his voice just caught your attention. And Tom just had the look of your average newsman. The reporting and stories were always good both domestic and international no matter what was covered if it was politics, war, social issues the stories and interviews, and reports were entertaining and educational. I remember John Chancellor as a educated political voice that gave his thoughts and opinions and Brian Williams now the head was always good in his sub duty. Though now NBC news has leaned to the liberal left and I've turned to FOX News certainly in it's yesterday NBC News ruled the ranks of the big network three, at least in the opinion of me and my family.

Is it true that the NBC news and the people that work there, like Lester Holt.

The push a false narrative about Trump being a Hitler and then push for the assassination attempts.

They run cover for the DNC and Harris for the attempts they seem to have had a hand in it, and now want to cover it up and talk about how violent the right is.

Lester Holt is on a payroll that hates America and the American people, which in turn means Lester hates America and the American people.

Network news is finished, the local news gives you better and less biased information, they give you the news and allow you to interpret it.
