Michelle Malkin and Brian Maloney of Radio Equalizer have been doing great investigative research into the Air America scandal. This story has everything that should be enthralling the media. Apparent deep corruption including stealing government money from a Boys and Girls Club to fund debts at the radio network. Shell game shenanigans. Semi-famous names like Al Franken. A media principality that was touted last year as the Great Liberal Hope to match up with conservative talk radio. Yet, it is barely making a ripple in the MSM. Malkin posts an interview with the Philadelphia Inquirer about why she and Maloney are pursuing this story and why the MSM is not.
The media like to say that they don't have an ideological bias and just follow where the stories are. If there is a Republican president and Congress it just means that the stories will more likely be about Republicans. So, follow the money. Follow this scandal if you're so sure that ideology has nothing to do with your story choice. Where are the people like Howard Kurtz who, for a living, write on the media? Why aren't they treating this as the media equivalent of some of the corporate scandals of the past two decades? It is a corporate scandal. Don't just cover the fact that bloggers are the ones leading the pack on investigating this scandal. Report the scandal yourselves. Check out News Google for "Air America". The links are mostly to Internet stories and a few from conservative-leaning news outlets. Where are all the business reporters in the MSM? Are you trying to prove Hugh Hewitt's point for him? Or are they all so lame that they won't investigate a story on their own until it shows up in their news service reports. That is the line that an editor at my local paper, The Raleigh News and Observer, has been trying to sell John in Carolina, but he just isn't buying it. She has had three varying stories about why the N and O didn't publish the story and not even editors of other newspapers are supporting her story.
