Here’s a look at a few headlines from this morning that stood out to us. Some strayed from the more standard “Bailout fails” header in favor of a more subtly opinionated, or slightly more colorful, recap of the crisis.
Judge them for yourself:
The Tampa Tribune: “Revolt derails bailout”
The NewYork Times: “ Defiant House rejects huge bailout; Stocks plunge; next step is uncertain”
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: “Defiant House sinks bailout; Financial markets plummet”
The Salt Lake Tribune: “No love for bailout”
Wichita Eagle: “Markets convulse as House rejects bailout”
Richmond Times-Dispatch: “Chaos: Lawmakers search for next step after House rebellion kills bailout”
