Nothing on the front page but a story was on the Political Page.

Front page on Chicago Tribune web site

Nary a mention but there was a story about fat cat teacher's Union abuse of funds (go figure)

CNN, no mention on the front page but something called Snookie wants to have a guido baby

2. NBC Nightly News did a pretty good job with it.
Michael Isikoff reporting. Played some of the conversation with accompanying transcript. Ended with the part about "crushing the bastards" and the invitation to go to California to celebrate. It was fairly damning.

3. I just went with the outlets that came off the top of my head....
But going to the NYP site was a vile experience that will be forever burned into my mind's eye...

7. I agree. NBC did a good job.
After nine days of protests, it is about time.

5. CBS did a story on this
They covered Koch's donations, the part of the bill about the no-bid contracts and ran the audio. Thought they did a really good job on it.
