Brian it would be nice if you had competition but NBC right now stands alone. Even Edward R. Murrow would have given the award to the Station. Look people love and respect the news but for 8 years and running the fake News Show Fox News with it's fake Journalist have been hitting the airwaves. Beck a recovering drug/alcoholic posing as a Journalist, Hannity a bartender using his education with alcohoics while serving drinks is now a make believe Journalist. O'Reilly a man in need of medical help as he criminally harrasses woman and involts violence while using a filty mouth. ABC did it's best and Diane just can't cut it. Katy got cut down by the dumbest candidate in the history of America Sarah Palin. Many other degree Journalist got caught up in the Bush Propaganda and now can't get out as they were brought and paid. The only competition NBC has right now is PBS and there doing pretty good. Most Americans remember the once honest Jouralist and Stations that reported fair/balance news leaving their opinons out. Well those days are gone now as people watch you most wonder what do you think? I give my opinon like many other Americans because we're not reporting the news. One day Brian you will have some competition for one of the greatest awards given to a show but just not right now. Give the staff my congrads as it's a team that makes a winner ask the Lakers.
congratulations to everyone:-) i started tuning in on the web for the news about our troops and sometimes have enough attention span to pick up a few more stories. since i am home bound, it is a great window, it is my only electronic news window:-) i appreciate the level of integrity.
Good Morning Mr.Holt,
Congratulations to NBC Nightly News for winning Two Edward R. Murrow Awards! Always excellent reporting! Very Well Deserved!
Lisa
Lester,

Congratulations!!!
Phyllis
Brian and Lester,
Again, congratulations, and I wish you both the best in the future as you are the best.
That said, my husband begins a grueling schedule this Thursday which will last 6-8 weeks and
therefore I will not contribute to the blogs because of his ordeal.
Best regards,
Phyllis Kunz
