CONTAINING LINKS TO 1280 STORIES FROM THE NETWORKS' NIGHTLY NEWSCASTS

COMMENTS: Lining up for Leno

The networks' White House correspondents split on whether it was appropriate for Barack Obama to take his road trip to California while the focus back in Washington was still firmly on the AIG bonuses. NBC's take by Savannah Guthrie--"for a second straight day not a single question at the town hall was about the bonus scandal at AIG"--can be ignored as special pleading, since her package ended with a shameless plug for Tonight featuring fans who had waited in line in Burbank for sixteen hours to see Jay Leno's Presidential show.

Among the neutrals, ABC's Jake Tapper reported that "the AIG controversy followed" the Obama to California and cited Republicans who criticized him for "campaigning not governing and faulted him for allowing the AIG bonuses." Tapper pointed to criticism of senior White House aides for publicly dismissing the AIG backlash. He quoted Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel as calling the furor "a big distraction" and advisor David Axelrod's assertion: "People are not sitting around their kitchen tables thinking about AIG." On CBS, Chip Reid stated that "AIG drew not a single question and only a brief mention" before slipping in a plug for his own network's programming: "Besides Leno, the President appears on 60 Minutes and a primetime news conference--all part of a media blitz to try to change the subject from AIG back to his economic plan."
