N.Y. Times: MoveOn ad discount was ‘mistake’

NEW YORK 9/24/07 – The New York Times’ ombudsman says the newspaper violated its standards when it gave the liberal activist group MoveOn.org a $77,508 price break on a full-page advertisement targeting Gen. David H. Petraeus…

The ad seemed to disregard internal advertising standards that ban ads involving attacks of a personal nature, Hoyt wrote. “We made a mistake,” she told Hoyt…

Eli Pariser, executive director of MoveOn.org, told Hoyt his group had called three days before the ad ran and asked to place it, and was told the ad would cost $65,000. “We paid this rate before, so we recognized it,” Pariser told the Times.

So I guess this was just a random mistake, which just happened to benefit a liberal group. But wait, they paid the same rate before, so it happened more than once. When has one of your random mistakes just happened to benefit conservatives, Mr. Keller?

Let's go back to autumn, 2000 and the Palestinian "intifadah" was just revving up. The AP sent out a photo of an Israeli man savagely beaten and bleeding near a gas station. How did the NY Times use the photo? Incredibly, the Times ran the photo and said it showed a Palestinian man who had just been attacked and beaten by an Israeli "settler". Then right after that blunder, reporter Deborah Sontag wrote a "newsarticle" claiming that "an Israeli military spokesman" admitted that Israeli soldiers had killed an innocent Palestinian civilian. Unfortunately for Sontag and The Times, there was one big problem: Sontag could not identify the "Israeli military spokesman" because there was none. Sontag could not produce a transcript or a tape recording or a video of the supposed "Israeli military spokesman" making the remarkable admission. When the Times got caught, Sontag said tut tut, no big deal. A follow up on the Times and Bill Keller’s claim that the Times is “agnostic” as to where a story leads.
