1. Dude deserves it: he won the story

His defiance in the face of John King's "scoop" will go down in teevee news history.

2. Yes...he was the lone holdout waiting for confirmation.

Or maybe he has better sources?

3. Well deserved!

4. He did a great job. However, I'm still not a fan. So many times I've

heard his reporting tinged with right-wing undertones and there have been times I know he was out-right lying to the audience.

I'll grudgingly give him this week tho.

6. always a wet blanket in the crowd....

5. so happy to hear Williams reporting was appreciated by his co-workers....

he did an excellent job of reporting admist a fluid, stressful, ever-changing set of ever-evolving events...he was on the air for what must have seemed like endless hours...bless him!!

7. They've got 48 hours

Tonight they'll be pouring blood into him, prepping him for surgery, sending him to surgery. Once he got to the ER, the cops probably couldn't get through the crowd working on him, anyway.

I've seen injured bad guys Mirandized at the bedside once they're conscious and stable. Likely this will be the same.

8. There is no NBC affiliate within reception here.

I get ABC, CBS, PBS (x2), local FOX (x2), and numerous religious wackaloonery. No NBC.

I watched ABC and CBS last night and today while surfing DU. Both did fairly okay. Certainly nothing like CNN or FOX.

Happy to R&K
