More Air Amerika Madness. . . .
If you haven't been keeping up with the growing Air America scandal, here's the latest from The Radio Equalizer (who "owns" this story). It seems now that AA can't pay it's staffers, but no word yet on whether it's "top"(I use that term VERY loosely) talent will be getting their paychecks. Given that Franken, Garafaolo, Malloy et al are under contract and not "mere" employees, I'm doubting that they'll suffer any in the pocketbook unless they choose to do so, and there's not any indication that that is coming.
Michelle Malkin, Captain's Quarters and LaShawn Barber all have updates on the scandal today. So if you're looking to catch up, or find out about it for the first time, check there, because even though it's only a quick subway ride away, the New York Times is still silent.
Air America has already admitted that they received funds from the Gloria Wise Boys and Girls Center, and that those funds weren't meant for them. The Wise Center gave AA the funds, totalling over 800K, instead of using the funds for the intended purpose, namely to support children's and Alzheimer's patient programs. Keep in mind, that we're talking about FEDERAL DOLLARS HERE, that were diverted to the "radio network".
This is going to get uglier and uglier as the true nature of the left and their hypocrisy is revealed.

UPDATE: Further reading of Captain's Quarters also reveals this VERY telling comparison of the coverage of the AA scandal and the last two weeks of Martha Stewart coverage. So, lets get this straight, Martha's ill-gotten 51,000 is more important to the New York Times than Air America's ill-gotten 800,000+++, even AFTER Martha has already served her jail time.
