NBC plugs Sites' personal blog

Cory Bergman reports: "This is a first for a network news division. Brian Williams plugged Kevin Sites' personal war blog on NBC Nightly News on Monday. "Our correspondent Kevin Sites has been keeping a weblog of his day-to-day life while covering the war in Iraq," Williams said. "It has generated a loyal readership on the internet, and you can access it by linking to it via our website, nightly.msnbc.com." Sure enough, Sites' blog is prominently linked. Very interesting given the fact NBC has no editorial control over Sites' blog -- which contains some frank assessments of the war."
