New York Times skirting the real issue with Air America


When is theft not a crime? When it is in a GOOD CAUSE

Evan Coyne Maloney points out duplicity in the New York Times coverage of Air America.

Here we are, well over a year later, and the Times is still doing everything it can to gloss over that scandal. In an article that measures over 1,600 words — an article whose unifying theme is the financial mess that is Air America — the Times can’t even bring itself to print word one about the fact that the supposed champions of the dispossessed felt no compunction about ripping off inner-city kids so they could keep their million-dollar hosts on the air.

All the news that’s fit to print? Or all the news that fits their ideology?

Good questions.

Air American was supposed to reclaim talk radio for the left. It failed. It's finances are so tangled that they would do a Mafioso proud. If this had been a "conservative" network, the Times would have led the charge to investigate.

That bothers me more than the ideology.
