Mark Steyn sums up the Air America Radio scandal in a sentence:

Air America looks like the broadcast version of the U.N. Oil-for-Food program, whereby money earmarked to save starving moppets somehow winds up in the bank accounts of bloated self-described do-gooders with political connections.

And David Reinhard, in the Portland Oregonian, says Air America listeners should take some initiative:

First, its listeners should unleash their "we know better" candlepower and their you-can't-fool-us cynicism to get to the bottom of the Air America's kids-for-kilowatts scandal. And, clearly, a scheme that hurts children and Alzheimer's patients to fund left-wing outreach should appeal to progressives' dark sense of irony.

Regardless of whether it's covered in The New York Times, this story has "legs" and it's not going away. It's not as easy to understand for most as, say, Michael Moore shooting a homeless panhandler, but the irony is there.
