Air America: Follow and Give Back the Money BACKLASH
Liberals Not Happy With Air America Scandal Reporting
Backlash Begins
A “Fake Story”, What Took Lefties So Long?
Emanating first from the Daily Kos, the nation’s largest liberal blog site, it then spreads to smaller sites. I’m accused outright of making up a story:
It’s fun to check in with Memeorandum now and then to see what the righties are linking to. Yesterday they were swarming like flies to a carcass to a story that appears to be phony.
Some conservatives are howling this weekend over Maha’s initial inability to find the Bronx News story via Google. Is that my fault?
Here’s a third link, as this article makes its way around the liberal blogosphere. In each case, the emphasis is on this as “fake news”.
Then, things get nastier. At this liberal site, featuring a dead panda, it’s name calling and what may be an anti-Irish slur.
Here, it’s “baloney and spew” and apparently, I’m supposed to be ashamed of myself for reasons that aren’t very clear. Northwest Progressive also gets in the act, but doesn’t put too much thought into the matter.
The Politburo Diktat, an exceptionally interesting site, is already all over this, especially Barbara O’Brien’s (Mahablog, Maha’s diary at Daily Kos, both linked above) Google search troubles.
Flap finds Lefties very easy to mischaracterize bad news as LIES, LIES and More LIES. There is a story here and it is being investigated by New York and probably federal agencies (bankruptcy fraud?).
The House after the indictments are finished should schedule hearings into the matter into how the diversion of money was accomplished without any oversight.
Now, with regards to the money. Since Air America cannot return money to a nonentity could they not return it to the bankruptcy court to be distributed to jilted creditors?
The RIGHT responds to the Lefts over-reaction:
The Larsonian adds a interesting point. Scott at Powerline adds muscle to the fight today. Captain Ed doesn’t mess around, either, thanks Captain’s Quarters! Viking Pundit, Wizbang (making a major point I’ll be exploring in-depth today), Eclipse Ramblings, Medary and many others are on this today.
