MoveOn Story Doesn't Pass the Smell Test [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
AP reports that MoveOn did not get special treatment. Rather, MoveOn "received the rate of $64,575 that the newspaper charges for a special advocacy, full-page, black and white, standby ad."
How was it a "standby" ad? On Sunday we read that it would run Monday and the ad that appeared on Monday said the testimony was happening "today." A lot of people seemed to know ahead of time the exact day the ad would run. What exactly does "standby" mean? This doesn't sound like what any normal person would consider "standby" to mean.
