NX VSCode extension (NX Console) - "Add Dependency" is broken + Cannot view project graph in NX Console

[paustint]

Current Behavior

In vscode, when I click "Add Dependency", there is the following error:

Unable to connect to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nrwl/nx/master/docs/packages.json. Error: Unexpected token 'm', "m����" is not valid JSON

EDIT: In addition, I am unable to view the project graph. The tab opens in VSCode but is blank.
The console shows Failed to get latest nx version: [object Object]
and then clicking graph again shows:
unable to send telemetry: Unable to connect to https://www.google-analytics.com/mp/collect?api_secret=3J_QsvygSLKfjxMXFSG03Q&measurement_id=G-TNJ97NGX40. Error: Unexpected token 'm', "m����" is not valid JSON

Expected Behavior

Clicking on the "Add Dependency" works as expected
