Jake Tapper at ABC News reported that MoveOn.org paid $65,000 for its full page anti-war advocacy sliming of General David Petraeus. This figure raised the suspicions of attentive blogger Confederate Yankee whose intuition appears to be correct. (h/t Michelle Malkin) While looking up the current New York Times rate book he discovered that MoveOn.org received a $102,000 discount on the standard political advocacy rate that is advertised at $167,157.

More insight into who, exactly, is betraying whom.

MoveOn.Org got the ‘non-profit’ rate.

NYT wouldn't do that would they? Why - I'm shocked.
No, I'm shocked and dismayed.
Oh wait actually I'm shocked, dismayed and disappointed in the New York Times. ;o)

[DJtex]

Hey, the New York Times just wanted the publicity.

[mainepatsfan]

Why does MoveOn.org need a discount? Is the Soros money running out?

[rightwingintelligentsia]

No doubt, a pro-Petraeus ad would have run at the full rate, if the NYSlimes would have accepted it at all.

These “advocacy” groups are the result of CFR.

Saw a quote from a dim congress critter yesterday saying they didn’t have to attack Petraeus and his report because their lackeys would do it for them.

Although it would seem like a no brainer, apparently dim pols think they can have it both ways and the American people won’t blame them for this kind of cr*p.

So we must constantly link the dims and their lackey groups in the public mind.

The NY Slimes is nothing but progaganda.

IE, McLame’s fault.

Sure, the guy’s a war hero, and went through some ungodly treatment,

but he doesn’t have his head on straight.

Anti-American newspaper, anti-American organization, and anti-american political party(Donkeys)....

Actually, the NYT has a Traitor’s discount - same as non-profit rate.

My apologies for the twitching finger.

Let’s all thank McCain & Feingold for this with lots of cards, letters and faxes today! :)

Such a deal. NYT gets paid for something they’d like to have printed in their rag anyway.

Bogie said it well in “Casablanca”: “I don’t mind a parasite. I object to a cut-rate one.”

Looks like he's getting pinched in that photo...
