Air America Lost Another Station Today

As the scandal involving the airheads at Air America grows, today the list of cities polluted by the bile and ignorance that spews from their mouths grew shorter. Looking at the Google cache their page boasted 67 stations this morning.

But now it's down to 66, after losing South Lake Tahoe, NV - KTHO-AM 590 AM.

"Mr. Franken said he has learned details of the story only in the last week. "
From the New York Sun today Franken tries to spin it, but also states: "Piquant LLC, current owner and operator of the radio network, found a record of the transfers while conducting a "forensic" investigation into the finances of the previous owner, Progress Media, which was run by Mr. Cohen. That internal probe was conducted before the city agency became involved,"
Yet it was June 24th when the hammer fell from the New York authorities investigation.

Friday, July 08, 2005Gloria Wise City-Funded Programs Transferred Following DOI Investigation
On Friday, June 24th, New York City’s Department of Investigation announced that Gloria Wise and Pathways for Youth had been determined “Non-Responsible City contractors” based on an on-going investigation “concerning allegations that, among other things, officials of Gloria Wise Boys & Girls Club approved significant inappropriate transactions and falsified documents that were submitted to various City agencies.” from http://www.nynp.biz/newspage.shtml

Now that was more than a week ago, yet Franken says he just found out last week, bullshit, now who's the liar?

From the NYSun again: A spokesman for the Department of Investigation, Keith Schwam, said that if Air America discovered the transfers before the city probe began, "They neglected to tell anyone at DOI or in the city about it."

So now if I use the standard they have used for Karl Rove, they are guilty of embezzlement, covering the crime and now it's time to see Fanken, what was it, "frog marched" off to jail. Case closed.


Update:
I noticed this at Daily Kos-
Air America a success--from 4 to 67 stations in 1 yr

Man, am I happy to see Air America continuing to grow. At this rate, they'll be up to 100 stations by year's end. I think this is helping, ever so slowly, to turn the tide.
Who's your favorite? Mine's Jerry Springer. I think he speaks to the mainstream and talks sense. I hate his sensationalistic TV show, but love his radio show.

Start counting back down, LOL. Springer? Sounds about right. fools.
