9/12 NY Times gives http://Moveon.org a discount http://csua.org/u/ji5 (newsbusters.org) \_ This is completely standard for media advertising. No one pays the posted rates. -works in media \_ Other groups have since come out to say that they were charged the full rate or more for the same size ads. Whoopsie! \_ How dare you! It's obviously AN EVIL LIB'RUL PLOT! \_ Really? I had no idea. What's the point of the posted rate then? -op \_ You must be new to this concept of bargaining. \_ Not really, but a 60% discount is quite the bargain. \_ So without any idea of what is common practice, you're jumping on a Drudge-style bandwagon? \_ What are people complaining about it? it gave the senators tons of mileage to complain about the stupid ad for 10 minutes per questinoingoning round instead of asking the general "do you reall honestly think we are leaving iraq in the next 10 years? \- i dont think the question is "are we leaving iraq in 10 yrs" but "how many iraqis are the walking dead" ... "chronicle of a death foretold" |

| csua.org/u/ji5 -> newsbusters.org/blogs/terry-trippany/2007/09/11/moveon-org-gets-discount-rate-betray-us-advocacy-ad org received a $102,000 discount on the standard political advocacy rate that is advertised at $167,157. For a newspaper that pretends to be objective purveyors of news this discount seems a bit steep for the deep pocketed liberal advocacy group. In fact the amount MoveOn paid is less than any rate listed in the New York Times schedule. There's not much to say about the character of the New York Times that hasn't been said already. For a paper that has been paying its investors back with lead weighted returns I'd be a little irritated if I had a stake in a venture that puts the subjective political agenda of the editorial staff above the fiduciary duty of the corporation to its investors. org could easily afford the going rate and likely would have run the ad without such a lavish discount. But then again advocacy as a business plan is exactly what the newspaper is about. managed to shave 50% off the bottom line between 2002 and 2006 some analysts felt that editorial content was not the problem. They looked at other indicators such as poor cost control. The arrogance of the people running the New York Times Co. is a reflection of the paper and its approach to journalism. I'd consider this an example of how editorial persuasion reflects much of the back room operations at the newspaper if not the company as a whole. reached a simultaneous low while its crown jewel newspaper reached a new low by running a personal attack ad against a war hero. third eye Just in time for the 9-11 aniversary, a very special attack ad, can be yours if you act now. Our operators are standing by, and let me tell you folks, these rates wont last. Remember people, you get a free special edition umbrella for every 50,000 dollars you spend. In the 9-11-2007 edition (an article trashing General Petraeus' testimony) the Times reported or opined that the American people deserve more and that "For that matter, they deserve more than what was offered by Representative Ike Skelton, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. When protesters interrupted the hearing, Mr Skelton ordered them removed from the room, which is understandable. That seemed like an unnecessarily authoritarian response to people who just wanted to be heard." Senior Chief With this reporting, I honestly predict a number of people will soon going to drop their subscription to this crappy, dwendling newspaper. CBS and NBC did same awful thing to our warriors and wounded veterans: they refuse advertisement from them. NYT, CBS, NBC and all leftoid media are enemies of the state! org launched against General Petraeustoday should be condemned by all Members of Congress, including theDemocratic leadership," Boehner said. "I urge Members on both sides of the aisle to join in support of this resolution so the House speaks with one voice rejecting the character assassination tactics employed by this extremist group. iveseenitall I"ll bet two of the three most obnoxious representatives yesterday, Ackerman of New York and Wexler of Florida, won't condemn the Betray Us ad. I often wonder why so many went so sheepishly to their deaths in WWII. If they won't even fight to protect the homelands ( Isreal or America), what will they ever fight for? NEVER,NEVER trust a "liberal" BTW, I didn't catch the name or the state of the third guy, but he was the loud,ugly, bald clown with the glasses and a smirk on his big mouth. As I ponder this latest example of mental instability by Move-on, (and the poor judgement on the part of the NY Slime), it has all the makings of a nice conundrum for the libs. If they condemn this ad outright (as they should), they will risk alienating the kook fringe they are ever increasingly dependent upon for funding, foot soldiers, etc. If they fall short of an all out condemnation (which they will, no doubt), then they are even more exposed for the anti American turn coat frauds that they are. The Republicans need to sieze every one of these opportunities as they arise. The Dims have been nurturing and feeding this rabid dog called the hard left, and it will be very difficult now for them to try and leave them at the pound. The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. ThisnThat Did they volunteer this discount, or did moveon threaten to behead someone at the Times ala Islamic style? Although, the beheading would make for good copy and probably increase their circulation temporarily. National Review Online captures the essence of this disgraceful person. Pinch was a political activist in the Sixties, and was twice arrested in anti-Vietnam protests. One day, the elder Sulzberger asked his son what Pinch calls, "the dumbest question I've ever heard in my life." If an American soldier runs into a North Vietnamese soldier, which would you like to see get shot? Young Arthur answered, "I would want to see the American get shot. Some Sixties activists have since thought better of their early enthusiasms.

| Moveon.org -> www.moveon.org/front/ The Movie the White House Doesn't Want You to See On Memorial Day weekend, Hollywood is releasing a summer blockbuster movie that's making the Bush administration very nervous. Because it's a disaster movie about a potential climate crisis. While "The Day After Tomorrow" is more science fiction than science fact, everyone will be talking about it -- and asking "Could it really happen?" This is an unprecedented opportunity to talk to millions of Americans about the real dangers of global warming and expose President Bush's foot-dragging on the issue. Responding to Torture Reports and photographs of Iraqi prisoners being tortured and abused by US and British troops have shocked the world. We've got to support an immediate, independent, impartial and public investigation into all allegations of torture. To be credible, the investigation should be done by an international body, including representatives of Arab nations. We've got to get to the bottom of this, and we've got to do it now. Censure Bush for Misleading Us In an attempt to evade responsibility for the misleading statements that pushed the nation into war, Bush has announced plans to form an independent inquiry to look into what went wrong. An inquiry would serve the Bush administration well: it would envelop the issue in a fog of uncertainty, deflect blame onto the intelligence services, and delay any political damage until 2005, after the upcoming election. Despite repeated warnings from the CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency, President Bush and his administration hyped and distorted the threat that Iraq posed. And now that reality is setting in, the President wants to pin the blame on someone else. Congress has the power to censure the President -- to formally reprimand him for betraying the nation's trust. MoveOn's 50 Ways to Love Your Country How to Find Your Political Voice and Become a Catalyst for Change Written by MoveOn members across the country, from Hawaii to Maine, from political figures to teachers, this collection of essays shares compelling personal stories and action items with resources for taking inspiration a step further. Simple ideas are illuminated, such as "His Last Vote," about a dying man's wish to cast a ballot, as are more dynamic actions, such as "Start a Petition," which chronicles a couple's quest to protect wolves from trappers in Alaska. MoveOn's 50 Ways to Love Your Country answers the question that more and more citizens are asking: "What can I do?" Protect our Kids from Mercury Pollution Under energy industry pressure, President Bushs EPA plans to defer controls on mercury emissions by power plants for at least a decade. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that 49 million women of childbearing age in the US -- that's 8 percent -- have unsafe levels of mercury in their blood. The people hit hardest will be new-born infants -- every year over 630,000 infants are born with levels of mercury in their blood so high they can cause brain damage. We have just a few weeks to get public comments to the EPA on this plan to defer mercury controls. It's time to tell the EPA and the White House that our kids come first. Al Gore Speaks on Global Warming and the Environment Beacon Theater, New York January 15, 2004, Noon In this, his third major speech sponsored by MoveOn, Mr Gore issued an indictment of the Bush administration's inaction on global warming, linking the issue to national security. He showed that global warming is not a future threat -- it is happening now. And yet, the President is choosing to help his coal- and oil-company supporters rather than advance modern technologies that can affordably solve this critical problem. Support Kerry's call to fire Rumsfeld May 7, 2004 In the wake of revelations of torture and abuse of Iraqi prisoners, John Kerry has launched an important petition calling for President Bush to fire Donald Rumsfeld. Getting rid of Secretary Rumsfeld would be a huge step forward for all of us who oppose the Bush war policy, and Kerry needs to hear our support. Help win the election this Saturday May 3, 2004 This Saturday, we're joining other grassroots groups in the largest day of voter mobilization in American history. MoveOn members will gather at parties across the country to make over 100,000 phone calls in one afternoon to swing state voters. In an election that could be won or lost with a handful of votes, we'll work to turn out every last progressive voter and send George Bush packing. |
