Air America fiasco

The silence is deafening. There's been a story brewing quietly under the radar concerning the left's last great hope in Air America. Short of some paltry coverage in the New York media, and a brief spot on CNN where the bulk of the time was spent trying to discredit the blogosphere's coverage of this fiasco, it's been damn quiet out there.

In case you haven't heard, and I'm betting your chances are pretty good you haven't:

"The Bronx News has learned, through informed sources, that the diversion of hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Gloria Wise Boys & Girls Club in Co-op City to the liberal Air America Radio is at the center of the city’s probe of corruption at the local club.

The money, which was reportedly paid to Air America as a loan, was supposed to be paid back with interest, two unidentified informed sources told the News. One source added that Air America officials, led by an official of the Gloria Wise Club, agreed to help the local club by publicizing its activities.

To date, no indictments have been handed down in the New York City Department of Investigation’s ongoing probe of the Gloria Wise Club’s reported transfer of funds to Air America."


Now, considering that Rush has been getting the anal exam for his drug addiction I find it odd that good ole Air America "borrowing" money from the Boys and Girls club is a non-story. But oh yeah, I forget, there's no bias, right?
