Why would they? It's a political gotcha story that does nothing other than rub the other side's face in their screwup. It's not a news story b/c it's politics as usual. Lobbyists paying for political consideration is nothing new, and neither is their "man" propping them up as an agenda.
Your source does not say that $12B was lost. Your source calls into question the management of that cash. That's a tad bit different than saying $12B was lost and/or unaccounted for.
"We have no way of knowing if the cash that was shipped into the Green Zone ended up in enemy hands," he said. "We owe it to the American people to do everything we can to find out where the $12 billion went."
I guess I'm always surprised at how many on CD get so upset with television news programs. What they report or not report.
Television is, in my mind, a very poor place to become informed. I will occasionally tune in to ABC or some other network at 5:30 p.m., if I happen to have literally nothing else to do. I do not think I have ever watched MSNBC, and my exposure to other non-network channels, like Fox, is minimal.
Reading from different news sources is my pleasure. One wonderful thing about the Kindle and other e-readers is that the world is at your fingertips, from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, to the International Herald Tribune, and even the English version of Chinese newspapers.
Many of these threads claim that television news organizations fail to report news, which always surprises me and a few other posters, since we actually read about said news events.
In short, read widely and deeply, and quit moaning that some idiotic tv show did not contribute a two whole minutes of coverage to some event you think is important.
The Solyndra 'debacle' wasn't much of a debacle. The government lent them money and the company went belly up. This happens all the time in the private sector. While the righties want to believe that this is a stunning indictment of the Obama Administration, there is no hard evidence of wrong-doing.
Moreover, the scale of this is nothing like the billions of missing cash the Bush Admin couldn't account for and went missing in Iraq.
There is a TON of hard evidence about how the politics from the WH interfered and influenced the stimulus loans. Let's not even mention the "green" slush fund is full of obama bundlers, millionaires and billionaires.
Oh...do you really think this story is going away?
Here's a newsflash - Solyndra will be front and center this year - leading the charge of obama's crony capitalism, waste, corruption and graft.

Not one segment about the obama/Solyndra debacle. The scandal is ALL OVER the networks, in the print media, on cable...EXCEPT for the ed, madcow, larry and tingle's shows.
Not one word from this bunch of radical leftists, who are clearly interested in protecting obama as much as they can.
They are not news shows....they are opinion shows, trying to sell themselves as "news". Say what you want about FOX, but hey call their news show and commentary shows what hey are.
Hannity, O'Reilly and the rest of the prime time lineup even call themselves commentary/opinion shows.
MSNBC sell their opinion people as journalists.
Al Sharpton! Ed Schultz! You must be kidding me.
They must have a room with paper on the floor for those two to hang out in.
