Tonight on PBS: Inside the meltdown

Tonight at 9 PM on most PBS stations (including WETA), FRONTLINE: Inside the Meltdown.

FRONTLINE investigates the causes of the worst economic crisis in 70 years and how the government responded. The film chronicles the inside stories of the Bear Stearns deal, Lehman Brothers’ collapse, the propping up of insurance giant AIG, and the $700 billion bailout. Inside the Meltdown examines what Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke didn’t see, couldn’t stop and haven’t been able to fix.

  1. I can't believe people are still making a big deal out of this whole "economic crisis."

    This is nothing more than a normal cycle, just like lance always said.

  2. Anon 05:14 - for some reason your comment reminds me of the line "It's a flesh wound", from the Black Knight scene in an old Monty Python movie.

  4. "for some reason your comment reminds me of the line "It's a flesh wound", from the Black Knight scene in an old Monty Python movie."

    That was funny though, lance isn't funny.

    This is a clown that still believes 90% of the DC area is steady or climbing.


    That isn't funny, just stupid.

    "Why not look elsewhere like the 90% of places where prices have either stagnated or gone up?"-lance 29 April 2008

    "I stand by my statement that 90% of this area is either stagnant in price or going up. You're going to have a hard time finding more than 10% where avg or median values have fallen by any meaningful amount."-lance 29 April 2008


    Somebody needs to lay off the paint chips.

    Of course! It was a porno starring Sheila Bair and Ben Bernanke!
