MoveOn says it had no reason to believe it was paying anything but the normal charge. Right. Uh huh. Sure. And the ever-evenhanded Howard throws in that Republicans would rather talk about the ad than the war, as usual missing the entire point.

Have you ever noticed that the MSM (CNN, NYT, ect) always seem to make mistakes that favor liberals and their causes?

Put it way up in the upper left corner. We've got enough for now but I'm sure we'll use it sometime in the future.

New York Times Says It Violated Policies Over MoveOn Ad

BUT OUR INTENTIONS WERE GOOD!

If it takes this long for the NYT to realize they made a mistakes on their policy of selling adds, it would be safe to say they have idiots running the place.

MoveOn.org may really have had no reason to know what the "normal" ad rate was. If I were to call the NY Times and they quoted a price to me for advertising, I'd have no way of knowing whether I was paying a "normal" or "discounted" rate.

On the other hand, the NY Times now has to go out and make arrangements to get the full price for this ad because they'd be facing a heap of trouble of they don't. The negative PR side of this is only one angle to it. Because they are a publicly-traded corporation, the real problem they face is a huge pile of massive lawsuits from shareholders who rightly wonder what the hell is going on with the management of that newspaper.

"On Thursday, President Bush called the ad "disgusting," saying that "most Democrats . . . are more afraid of irritating [MoveOn] than they are of irritating the United States military."

Nice to see our side hitting back.

"Clinton said she did not approve of personal attacks from any quarter but avoided criticizing MoveOn by name."

...and it's especially nice that our attacks are so perfectly on-target.

On Friday, the Senate voted 75 to 25 to denounce the ad. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.), the Democratic presidential front-runner, was questioned repeatedly about the ad yesterday while taping interviews with all five Sunday talk shows...

This would seem a logical place to point out how she voted...

We were way overstocked with ammo already, but in fighting the "Living Dead" Zombies of the MSM, I guess having a little more can't hurt.

The New York Times admitting the obvious, they always give preferential treatment to liberals.
