The only reason I'd need a hard copy of any newspaper is so I'd have something to read while on the thrown...

Financial news continues to get top billing as all the papers try to digest the latest news from the Federal Reserve and the markets to figure out how far the current crisis will spread. The
New York Times' lead story notes that although the stock market didn't plunge as was widely expected, there were several ups and downs as
uncertainty ruled the day on Wall Street. By the end of the day, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed the day with a 0.2 percent increase, largely due to the strength of J.P. Morgan, which rose due to the widely held belief that it was able to acquire Bear Stearns at a veritable bargain. The
Washington Post leads locally, but off-leads news that shares of many of the
largest banks and investment firms plummeted yesterday.
The
Los Angeles Times leads with a look at how many are wondering whether the Fed is taking on
too much risk and for how long it can keep pumping money into the economy in its attempt to save the country from a deep recession without hurting the nation's overall finances. Over the past few days, many economists have said that the key question now is not whether the country will enter into a recession, but rather how long it will last. Ordinary Americans seem to agree.
USA Today leads with
a poll that shows 76 percent of Americans think the country is in a recession. In addition, 79 percent said they're worried about the possibility of a depression that could last several years. The
Wall Street Journal leads its world-wide newsbox with Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao saying at a news conference that
the Dalai Lama is to blame for the recent violence that has broken out in Tibet. As the protests continued to spread to other parts of China, Jiabao accused the Dalai Lama of trying to get publicity and gain influence in the run-up to the Olympics.
