MoveOn.org was forced to pay The New York Times an additional $77,508 for its newspaper advertisement that implied General David Petraeus, the U.S. commander in Iraq, is a traitor. The ad has been roundly criticized and was even condemned in a bipartisan vote of the U.S. Senate. The New York Times reported yesterday on this episode which has surely been an embarrassment for both organizations.
Columnist George Will took on this topic yesterday as well, exposing the biased views and hypocrisy of The New York Times. His column is definitely worth a read.
