limiting coverage to general overview of the situation CNBC ends up confusing the viewer with overly complicated term Much of news time is devoted to this. In many cases Bear Stearns crisis is related to political agendas of candidates
--Overall a very negative and accusatory tone -- Even money markets, typically the safest place to keep money are being affected -- Emphasis on the use of taxpayer money to bail them out -- “Can anyone stop this thing?” “What are we going to do when the next one fails, bail them out too?” -- Talks to experts, but it’s sensationalized – they do a financial calculator thing to say that if we keep doing this, it will end up putting more than $300 billion of taxpayer money at risk. Also saying that the federal reserve might have to print more money, which means that the value of your paycheck will go down, and prices will go up -- Overall, the tone gives the sense that this is just bad, and there isn’t anything we can do but sit back and wait.
