Air America case still “non-story” to NYTimes

UPDATE: It is still being ignored by “the paper of record.”

It seems the NY Sun is now covering the story of Air America’s apparent shenannigans with money marked for poor kids and elderly folk. As are CNN, Fox News the Washington Times and the NY Post.

Oddly enough, though, NBC’s Today Show and the NY Times, both of which trumpeted the start of Air America as the Second Coming, have not said a word about it.

Michelle Malkin has an exhaustive, comprehensive and link-filled rundown on the very latest. Ed Morrissey is taking a look at exactly what sorts of laws may have been broken, here as does Prof. Bainbridge and Lowell Ponte writes:

One test of its liberal integrity will be whether, and how sharply and often, Air America Radio voices criticism of Democrats up for election. Another will be whether this network opens its books so that America can see which wealthy and powerful special interests, foreign and domestic, are bankrolling it – reportedly to the tune of $30 to $100 million. Liberals demand such disclosure of other corporations, and so a network that declares itself liberal should set an example of openness.

Odds are that this network will have no sacred cows, but it will have lots of sacred bull.

Brian Maloney, who basically broke the story has more updates.

Everyone’s kinda wondering where NY State Attorney General, Eliot Spitzer is on this. So far, it appears he is Missing in Action. He wants to be Governor, you know.
