|  Why isn't the media talking about how the Fed already pumped 600 billion in credit into the market this week, without congressional approval, before the vote?

| I was just watching CNN and the topic was how does the bailout defeat affect you and what should you do? Let's put it this way by the end I was surprised they didn't give you step by step instructions on how to tie a noose and stick your head in. "mark to market" aka fair value accounting is a big big reason for the immediate mess though. It has got to go.

| I meant it in a "You'd be watching FoxNews if your Wife weren't there" way, not a "Your Wife is posting as you again" way.

| Holy crap there is now an assault in the media over this bill. While the coverage over the past couple of weeks has been alternating between no welfare for wall street, and for or against the bill basically as close of objective as I've seen this clowns in a long time while they were still totally confused, the battle lines have been drawn and they have their marching orders: "This economy, this country and you are competely and totally f*cked and it's the Republicans who've put you here (a-gain) this time over some petty comments from Nancy Pelosi " And then they'll even cut to Barney f*cking "what-Fannie-problems-you-just hate-poor-people" Frank for support for their premise.
