Air America Scandel: No MSM Coverage …..YET

The Investors Business Daily has Big Fat Yawn.

Media: Rush Limbaugh’s prescription drug troubles were splashed all over the media. Yet a financial scandal rocking a leftist radio network rates no coverage.

The mainstream media, fixated on bringing down Karl Rove, have so far deemed apparent funding irregularities at Air America unworthy of note. But that doesn’t make them any less of story.

So….what else is new.

The Leftie press covers for their Leftie media friends all of the time.

Hugh Hewitt has On Reprting and Not Reporting.

I write about Air America in today’s WeeklyStandard.com column, “The Air Out There.” So do the editors of Investors Business Daily. Both pieces note that the media obsessed over Rush Limbaugh’s troubles, but that there is near-perfect silence within elite media on the subject. If there is fraud and illegal inurement in a forest, and nobody hears about it, did it really happen?

N.Z.Bear has a handy chart of bloggers contributing to the story. Perhaps before the weekend at least one paper or newsmagazine that covered Air America’s launch will find at least one-tenth of that amount of space to cover the funding that launched the launch. UPDATE: Macho Nachos chews on the legal details.

So, Hugh are you saying the MSM are hypocrites with regards to Rush Limbaugh and Air America?

Indeed.
