About this blog
The Daily Nightly began on May 31, 2005. As Brian wrote in his first post it aims to provide a narrative of the broadcast day and a window into the editorial process at NBC Nightly News. Brian weighs in every weekday and NBC News correspondents and producers post regularly.
Brian Williams became the seventh anchor and managing editor in the history of NBC Nightly News on December 2, 2004. Read his full biography.





It's a very busy day in Washington, so we're a bit late getting the Early Nightly out today. David Gregory and other Nightly News correspondents in D.C. are all over the North Korea nuclear testing story, as well as the continuing political fallout surrounding the Mark Foley page scandal. Brian is in the anchor's chair tonight, but David is at the White House giving you a rundown of the stories being considered for tonight's broadcast.
Happy 70th Anniversary

Well I live in North Carolina and would never cross the line if someone voted to kill innocent lives. I am so against abortion. I would not vote for a Democrat for president due to the fact that they mostly support abortion and for gay rights. I NEVER WILL!!!

I live in Texas and have voted Republican for years but would have crossed lines to vote for anyone I thought was qualified. At this point it makes no difference who is in control as nothing is going to get done anyhow. It is very frustrating. When an elected offical goes to Washington they forget about who they represent or where they come from and are caught up in all of the politics of getting votes to be re-elected and the Washington politcal scene. There needs to be term limits for elected officials in the Senate and House, just like the presidental office, as no one needs to make a career of being a politician.
