Moveon.org ad
Monday, September 24th, 2007
Apparently this Moveon.org ad story is getting bigger. Why, I have no idea. Conservatives are smiling ear-to-ear because the New York Times allegedly violated their own rules of conduct. They allowed an attack ad and they discounted the price on the ad. All I can say is, “so the fuck what?”
The last time I checked the New York Times was a private company, which means they pretty much can conduct themselves how they see fit. If they wanted to run the ad, it was their business. If they wanted to give a discount, it was their business. Who cares?
The answer is conservatives. It gives them more left-wing media fodder for the faithful, but that’s all it gives. It has no real meaning to anyone except them. It is just something to rally the troops.
The thing that pisses me off most is the cowering way the Times conducts itself. Just say, “yes, we did it, what’s it to you? Our company, our rules.”
I hate campaign season.
