Is the federal reserve paying off the media to keep quiet?

Voided

The market settlement details don't provide a way for the market to be objectively settled by a mainstream news source. For this type of market to stand we need more concrete settlement details. The market reads to much like an opinion poll than an actual prediction market.

Background:

<a href="<a href="http://www.canada.com/theprovince/news/story.html?id=21569376-e3d1-47ec-95b7-3a294dcfddd6">http://www.canada.com/theprovince/news/story.html?id=21569376-e3d1-47ec-95b7-3a294dcfddd6<;/a>"><a href="http://www.canada.com/theprovince/news/story.html?id=21569376-e3d1-47ec-95b7-3a294dcfddd6<;">http://www.canada.com/theprovince/news/story.html?id=21569376-e3d1-47ec-95b7-3a294dcfddd6<;</a>;/a>

Why did Americans freak out over 700 billion dollar bail out,yet not one peep out of them when the real number is almost 3 times the original estimate? Obviously the federal reserve is god as there is no accountability for the insane amount of phony money they print. Why is this story not being screamed out every night on CNN?
