we've come to expect from Fornier, Babington and the rest of the hack shit stirrers at the political division of the AP. Here's a hint: scroll through this opinion piece and count the qualifiers (i.e. "appears", "seems", etc.)

Yes, I would love to kill this messenger. The AP used to be the industry standard. They are working hard to tarnish the reputation they spent a century and a half nurturing.

Comparing the administration's "bailout" proposals for two completely different industries - the financial sector and the automakers - is dodgy to begin with but it's totally irresponsible to make snap judgments at this stage. We've had one day's worth of discussion regarding the automakers. There will likely be more executive heads to roll in the banking sector. We'll see where things go...
