Media-Whore d'Oevres: Financial Crisis Edition

"Not only have producers and anchors at FoxBiz been working overtime this weekend, so has the marketing team. The network has rushed to air a promo which reminds viewers that while FBN was live covering the weekend news events related to the bailout bill, CNBC spent the weekend mostly in infomercials." (TvNewser)

"1,000 comments and counting on the NYT story about the bailout package" (BrianStelter/Twitter)

"It's no coincidence then that of the 205 Members who voted in support of the bill today, there are only two -- Reps. Chris Shays (R-Conn.) and Jon Porter (R-Nev.) -- who find themselves in difficult reelection races this fall. The list of the 228 'nays' reads like a virtual target list for the two parties."
