Concerning the Neil Cavuto comment that Eben mentioned:
Line: 18 to 18
 The financial crisis is a real, honest-to-god story, what actual journalists (and not mere pundits or TV personalities) would sell their first-born for. I'd not find it out of the question for the spin machine to use its power to keep the story going as long as possible, trying to push the urgent need for a bailout and at the same time trying to sow fear of a hurried bill that gives the Fed or the banks carte blanche. It is in the media's interest for us to be talking about this come January.

This article from the NYT print edition might be of interest to you, about two guys who are trying to create an application to evaluate media bias. Their app is called "SpinSpotter" (http://spinspotter.com/) and already has tagged a bunch of stories concerning the markets.
