Regarding The New York Times and the MoveOn Ad


The right and, particularly, Crazy Rudy have all once again demonstrated their ability to ever-so-casually skip the rails of rationality by creating this phony issue of the Times having charged the organization less money than the full-rate for a full page ad. I interrupted my Rosh Hashana to send the letter below to Romenesko -- I thought this would be OK, since it wasn't actually work -- to point out that what the Times did for MoveOn has been standard practice there for years, and the same terms have always been available to conservatives. The letter went up on Thursday and so the information was available even to the laziest journalist, as it would have been to any journalist who bothered making a phone call to the Times. And yet how many times during the past four days have you heard the lunatic accusation of a cabal between the commies at the Times and the traitors at MoveOn?
