It is always a little difficult for the papers when news is developing on the other side of the Atlantic and they are coming up gainst publishing deadlines.
Such was the situation last night when it appeared for most of the evening that the $700b rescue deal was going through.Some of the papers chose to lead with the news
US agrees to a $700b banking deal says the Telegraph
Hopes rise as American's agree to rescue banks says the Times
Phew says the Mirror adding that the US saves the world economy.
The reality of course is that the plan is far from being put to bed and on their web sites this morning it uis rather a different picture
Frustration as US banking rescue package hovers on brink say the Times and the Telegraph says Summit on $700bn Wall Street bail-out collapses
Cast your mind back to earlier in the year when the Democratic primaries were in full swing and the same happened,where many were predicting the demise of hillary Clinton and the beginning of a new politics.They were right in the end but not at the time.
It is a difficult call to make but perhaps this is whta the newspapers need to consider for the future.Not trying to be breakers of news but breakers of comment and analysis
The Indepedent was one of those jumping the gun over Obama but chose to play it safe this morning with the rather bland headline,Pay curbs plan for bankers and the Guardian and the Mail decided to splah entirely different themes
