An Avalanche of Bailout Coverage

Almost every newspaper in the district, and many outside the district, quote or mention Kuhl or Massa in coverage of the bailout:

  • The Elmira Star-Gazette has Massa's take on Kuhl's bailout proposal.
  • 13-WHAM mentions Kuhl's vote against the bailout along with Louise Slaughter's angry response to the bill's failure.
  • The Democrat and Chronicle covers Massa's response to the bailout bill, editorializes that a bailout is necessary, and quotes the head of Wegmans saying that bailout is necessary.
  • The Syracuse Post-Standard editorializes for the bailout, calling the bill's defeat "shameful"
  • Buffalo's News 4 has a story on the plan, with a couple of Kuhl quotes.
  • Both Massa and Kuhl are quoted in today's USA Today about the bill, with Massa saying that the inability of "a very few partisan ideologues" to compromise was the reason the bill didn't pass.
  • And the Edmonton, Alberta Sun quotes Kuhl saying that 97% of the calls to his office were anti-bailout.
