Brian Stelter of the New York Times writes Monday about how CNBC is doing everything it can to promote reporter Rick Santelli‘s on-air rant on Thursday about the economic bailout package.
“Within hours, the video was the lead story on The Drudge Report and elsewhere. By Sunday, it had been viewed nearly 1.7 million times, making it CNBC.com’s most popular video clip ever.
