America - Pressue Continues on Air America

and the New York Times for failing to report on a New York scandal.

How much longer can the NYT ignore the elephant in the room?

The article also shows how not all in MSM have disdain for bloggers.

The Times' lack of interest has become the scandal within the scandal. Bloggers, of course, are making hay over the Times' disinterest in a story that casts the formerly much-heralded Air America in a very bad light.

As well they should. News judgment is a subjective thing, certainly. But it is difficult to imagine a more politically explosive New York-centric subject than this one.


Which is why the NYT has its head in the sand.

UPDATE

Now "that New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer has launched an investigation into the shady $875,000 loan from Gloria Wise Boys & Girls Club to Air America" it will be nearly impossible for the NYT to ignore the story. But watch for the whitewash and attacks on bloggers when they do decide to report it. Michelle has the story.
