If you have not been following the story of how Air America sayed on the air by apparently using money meant for children and the elderly well, where have you been?
I admit when the story first broke, I figured it would be yet another story wherein the liberal/left perps get a free ride from the press (ala Sandy Berger) as the story disappears. And that may still happen…as it stands right now, the MSM has NOT covered any of this. But right now I’d say a blogswarm is begun, and that Al Franken (who is considering running for public office) has a few questions to answer along the “what did he know and when did he know it” lines.
Go-to bloggers on this are Brian Maloney (just keep scrolling down) who Hugh Hewitt says “owns” the story, along with Ed Morrissey, Michelle Malkin, Macho Nachos, Mark in Mexico, (who has a MAJOR link compilation) Wizbang, LaShawn and, of course, Hugh Hewitt.
Did I mention that the Mainstream, Establishment Media, which gave Air America a big kick-off, front page coverage, yadda yadda…has not mentioned any of this, yet?
UPDATE: I stand corrected. The Washington Times has a piece. But then, I don’t know that I’d call them part of the MSM.

Thank you for posting this- I had heard ’something’ but had no idea as to the extent of the malfeasance.
