A few weeks ago, MediaMouse.org posted a collection of resources for alternative information on the Wall Street crisis and the bail out package being debated by Congress. Since that time, the bail out has passed–with the support of both major party presidential candidates–yet Wall Street has continued to falter and the corporate media has continued to present a very status quo oriented view of the crisis.
Consequently, we thought it would be appropriate to post another list of suggested readings, as well as some videos explaining various components of the bailout.
