Brian is Remembering "The Site" on MSNBC:

She posed those questions to Dev. The Site also featured what was the first -- and probably still is the first -- computer-generated character on cable news. An avatar named Dev Null interacted with O'Brien and answered technology questions submitted by viewers.

"the first -- and probably still is the first"?

Yeah, that's how it works. If you are the "first" of something in 1996 the you are fairly likely to be the first of that same thing in 2006 (now that this has been pointed out, can we count on another surreptitious edit to fix the error or the old "I was just kidding" standby?).

Anyone catch Brian on MSNBC where Tucker Carlson did his best to provided a little ShillLove, proclaiming Brian's "power" and "accuracy" to the world? Isn't funny how CNBC, MSNBC and USA TODAY all go out of their way to talk about Brian's accuracy and crediblity? All part of the playbook! They ought to start doing these TVN promos...I mean interviews...from that bed Al Franken and Arriana Huffington used to crawl around in on Comedy Central.

I can't tell what I liked more - Brian talking about his "credibility" and how, if were ever to make a mistake about a personnel moves, he'd be "finished" OR lying to Carlson that there is no network that won't talk to him after repeatedly bitching about Fox News not talking to him AND blaming them for his erroneous report that a Fox News EP had moved to a new show just a couple of days ago.
