Even if they charged normal rates, it’s still all in the family.

The sad part is that this will not matter one whit to most dems.

Lord, I hope the Slimes feels the heat more than ever for their biased despicable practices.

"The advertising folks did not see the content of the ad before the rate was quoted,"

They didn't know it was from MOVE-ON, either, I bet.

Yeah, right.

[Always Right]

"The advertising folks did not see the content of the ad before the rate was quoted,"

Didn't have to, they knew it was from MoveOn.org and was anti-America crap. I guess it just saved the New York Times the trouble of writing a front page story.

"We do not distinguish the advertising rates based on the political content of the ad," Mathis told Reuters.

Iraqi Information Minister redux.

The General said yesterday at his presser that he was sent the poem by Kipling, called “IF”, and it helped him thru the shocking move-on crap.

[Brilliant]

“and the (New York) Times is liberal...”

They’ve never denied that. In fact, they pretty much admit it, and lament the fact that the rest of us aren’t like them.

[Badeye]

Gotta give a nod to Guiliani’s approach to this. I won’t vote for him in 08, but I do like his stance.

"The quandary the Times gets stuck in is they don't want to admit you can buy an ad for that rate, no matter who you are," Jarvis said, noting that with print advertising revenues in decline newspapers generally did offer big discounts.

This seems the likeliest answer to me. Ideological sympathy or not, a business like the Times isn't going to pass up ad revenue unless it has to.

[toddlintown]

The ad didn’t run on a “stand-by” rate. It ran precisely on the day the General made his first appearance.

[popdonnelly]

The Times’ ad was one small part of the depressing spectacle put on by the Left, including the Democratic Party. If they were capable of shame, they’d blush.

[TChris]

The NYT is effectively paying for half of the ad. They're partners with the ad's creators, no matter how they try to spin it.

[vpintheak]

Come out of the closet, Slimes. Everyone knows it, it’s OK, just admit it...

[kitkat]

The real question is: Will they run an ad for a conservative group for the same rate?

[blitzgig]

They have only themselves to blame for accepting such a stupid and slanderous ad. The anti-war people at MoveOn seriously overreached with this stunt.

[jonrick46]

What a huge danger for this nation is that we have the DemonRAT Party, who is willing to defame an icon of the best in our military. Their willingness to do this speaks loudly of a major danger for the security of this nation. If they are willing to sacrifice the best of our military establishment, they are willing to sacrifice anything for their unrestricted quest for power.

Anytime you have an ends-justifies-the-means method of operating, the sky is the limit. What will they do to achieve power? What will they do when they get power? Every time their ilk gets into power, human beings become expendable and lives are sacrificed. Human beings become the means to their ends and there is no self-restraint about them. They will jack boot anything in their way.

Remember Waco, Arkancide, and Elian Gonzoles. And don’t forget the millions of abortions.

[The Great RJ]

The Times basically made a $100,000 donation to help spread this despicable smear. That decision had to come from the very top and I hope more honest media types are incensed enough to not let this one rest.

[Billthedrill]

If moveon.org says they coughed up 65 large I’m going to want to see a canceled check on even that.
