After swirling around talk radio, blogs and the internet for the past two weeks, the growing Solyndra scandal is making its way to main stream news outlets like this report from the Associated Press. With the exception of the excellent investigative work by Brian Ross at ABC News, most television news bureaus have given modest attention to the story that seems to get bigger every day.The latest on the scandal via Instapundit:
And this:
AP: Obama admin reworked Solyndra loan to favor donor. “The Obama administration restructured a half-billion dollar federal loan to a troubled solar energy company in such a way that private investors — including a fundraiser for President Barack Obama — moved ahead of taxpayers for repayment in case of a default, government records show.”
Plus here:
LIGHTSQUARED: ANOTHER SOLYNDRA? “A pattern of providing White House support to favored companies — at taxpayer risk — is emerging.”
And here:
SOLYNDRA IS NOT THE ONLY SUBSIDIZED GREEN FAILURE: “Solyndra, the solar panel company whose highly publicized failure and consequent investigation by federal authorities has flashed across headlines recently, isn’t the only business to go belly up after benefiting from a piece of the $800 billion economic stimulus package passed in 2009. At least four other companies have received stimulus funding only to later file for bankruptcy, and two of those were working on alternative energy.”
Insty's up on it so you can be.
ER, BECAUSE IT WAS A SCAM? Why Solyndra Wasn’t Good Stimulus. I mean, just for a start . . . .
UPDATE: One more:
SOLARGATE UPDATE: Chicago Tribune Editorial: The Solyndra saga: Obama administration put taxpayers on hook for failed venture. “There are a lot of questions around this deal. At least one investor in it was a prominent Obama fundraiser. Some Democrats say Solyndra executives may have misled them. If the federal government can’t responsibly manage the money it’s doling out in the name of economic stimulus, then it has no business doling out the money — period. At a minimum, this episode illustrates the perils of sinking taxpayer dollars into risky private ventures.”Previously:
At a minimum. Plus this: “A nickel’s worth of business sense and a dime’s worth of caution might have saved Uncle Sam millions — and the Obama administration a heap of trouble.” Where are you going to find a nickel’s worth of business sense in an administration where there’s no private-sector experience? And caution is for lesser mortals, not The One and his chosen crew.
