On the Election: A Video Exercise

1. Here's a video package from CBSNews.com, a TV News source, about the implications of the failed bailout bill on White House hopefuls Barack Obama and John McCain:



2. Here's another video package on the economic bailout and how Congress plans to move forward, from online source Yahoo! News.



3. Here's a potentially viral video made by the Center for American Progress. It offers a slight revision of Treasury Secretary Paulson's Bailout Bill, and stresses that the plan will only work if the U.S. buys the "mortgage-backed securities" and converts them to "whole mortgages."


Video Player Analysis:
The first and third videos run on Youtube's player. The player lets you adjust volume, go full screen, embed and share, as well as see similar videos. The second video runs on a different player, which is a bit more restrictive. It forces you to watch an ad before every video, and it doesn't let you embed.
