Update : There appear to be some folks reading this who think that this article is critical of Air America Radio... it is NOT! AAR may not be the most smoothly run business in the world but that is not the heart of the issue. The issue here is the complete lack of any reporting on this from the MSM. Had this been EIB and the Boy Scouts as suggeted in the commentary discussion the MSM would have been on it like stink on shit regardless of when the funding was done or if the idiot responsible had already been fired. I will admit that the headline to the article is a bit sensational but oh well... sure me:)
For those who have not heard about it elsewhere Air America (a very liberal leaning talk radio network headlined by Al Franken and Garofalo) was caught a few weeks ago in a financial scandal in which it received just under $1 million that was intended for needy children (this was money diverted as "loans" from a charity by political supporters with pull in said charity).
Of course the MSM has little interest in publishing this sort of story (lets prentend this was Rush Limbaugh's EIB network for a sec shall we? Think that might have garnered a headline or two?) and this is being documented over at the Captain's Quarters blog here. Check out his scoreboard and then [please come back and tell me how the right wing has taken over media... no really... I am dying to hear the theory.
I only point this out so that you won't think that all I do nowadays is Guardrail poetry.
