CONTAINING LINKS TO 1280 STORIES FROM THE NETWORKS' NIGHTLY NEWSCASTS
     COMMENTS: Where’s the News, Tim?

Why was Secretary Timothy Geithner afforded such free publicity for his talking points? Where is the news in this answer to ABC anchor Charles Gibson? "I think this is the strongest moment of cooperation globally you have seen since World War II." What about this defense of his department's TARP bailout of the financial sector to CBS anchor Katie Couric? "We are moving very quickly to make sure that we have in place strong transparency, strong conditions on this assistance, stronger tracking mechanisms and we are committed to the strongest possible oversight." What about his claims of equal treatment for the financial and automotive sectors for NBC anchor Brian Williams? "There has been dramatic restructuring. The entire landscape of our financial system has changed dramatically…The government has come in and changed management."

I cannot understand why the consensus that Geithner was such an important interview get.
