Imagine if the Heritage Foundation wanted to run a full page ad in the New York Times. It wouldn't matter what subject the Foundation wanted to talk about. My guess would be the Times wouldn't even run the ad. The reason would be some politically correct nonsense no doubt. Even if they paid the full ad rate of about $180,000+.
But look at
this! Move-on gets a huge discount for its full page ad. The ad criticizing the General Petraeus report that was not even out at the time. Talk about not being able to change your mind, it doesn't really matter that there was a report, the mind-set of the left is made up already. But move on's buddies at the times gives a big discount for this "ad" paying only $65,000.
If you still think that the media is fair and balanced, stuff like this wouldn't be happening. But it is, the idea that the media is neutral is utter nonsense. Liberals can do whatever they like, Conservatives don't even get in the pages of the TImes unless its the crime page.
