[h/t: Michelle Malkin] Today’s Washington Times prints another article on the Air America mess, this time calling out the New York Times as well as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton for their continued silence on the matter.

A high-ranking executive siphons off government money intended for inner-city children. The company tries to wash its hands of the problem. Where is the New York Times to cover the story? Where are Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton to demand money and an apology?

We’re talking about Air America’s emerging charity scandal. Liberals wish it would go away. It won’t, not least because over the weekend it emerged that New York state attorney general Eliot Spitzer has opened an investigation. Like the New York City Department of Investigation, his office wants to find out what happened to the more than $800,000 in tax dollars for inner-city children and the elderly that were apparently funneled through Air America by a former executive. (…)
(…)
The people who purport to stand up for the little guy just aren’t doing it. They have ignored Air America’s apparent receipt of money for inner-city children. This suggests that where the perpetrators are other liberals, the rules don’t apply.

The combined might of the Blogosphere has yet to move the MSM into covering this story. Nice to know that the heat is continuing nonetheless. This Okie is gonna keep askin’ “Where’s the story!” until it happens, or the whole thing just dies.

Also, nice to see Michelle giving props to fellow SCBA blogger Laer Pierce at Cheat Seeking Missiles for his keeping the NYTimes feet to the fire. Way to go, Laer! (db)
