Because random misappropriation is one thing. It's commonly alleged and we're desensitized. Authorizing your own entry in Madame Tussaud's museum? THAT's newsworthy AND original........
And the writer seems personally invested. Maybe MSNBC has a diversified staff.

From the article: However, McKinzie disputed that amount in a media statement: "Two new wax figures -- one of me as president at the time of the centennial and one of our first international president -– were purchased for a total of $45,000 by the Centennial Boule Hostess Chapters to complement the wax figure of our founder created in 1996." The $900,000 was actually the amount allocated by Alpha Kappa Alpha's board of directors to help defray overall expenses for the 2010 convention, McKenzie said.

I just saw it on CNN.com too Again - I still have to say I'm surprised this is making it this far. Let's say it IS a million dollar misapprorpiation. In the grand scheme of news - how big is that? Sure it's big to AKAs but there aren't even 1,000,000 AKAs (shut up - there aren't). There are barely a million black greeks - that's the only audience that it seems might be remotely interested in it - so why would this story make this level of news?
Is it the recent induction of Bill Clinton into PBS that is now shining a light on all D9 orgs? Is it Michelle Obama's connection to AKA?
