"Seems to me the Bill O'Reilly story was hardly reported and quickly forgotten." You seem to have forgotten what actually happened. In the short time before they settled the matter, the MSM was all over it. It certainly got far more coverage than Air Ameriscam even though it's been news far longer than O'Reilly's story. RE: Air Ameriscam - it's obvious you need to dig into the details of the story, which sadly you won't get much from the MSM. I'll be shocked if, at a minimum, Evan Cohen is the only person to do time for fraud. The money (mostly federal grant monies) was not given to the Gloria Wise Boys & Girls Club to be lent to a nearly bankrupt left wing media outlet that had no real means to pay it back. And no, they never attempted to make payments. Instead they tried to reincorporate with essentially the same corp officers to relieve themselves of their liabilities. And I have no doubt whatsoever that if this was about the Rush Limbaugh show instead of Air Ameriscam, it would be competing with Cindy Sheehan for top billing in their 24/7 MSM coverage.
