In its news report about Thursday's hectic White House negotiations regarding the financial bailout, Politico reports, “And when Democrats left to caucus in the Roosevelt Room, Paulson pursued them, begging that they not ”blow up" the legislation."

What Politico left out was that, according to ABC's report last night, Paulson then immediately conceded it was “both sides” that were threatening to derail the bailout.

Again, this is part of what seems to be the media's attempt to set the groundwork for the blame game by not reporting accurately what Paulson said yesterday.
