Freedom of the Press is fine and dandy, but why did NYT give MoveOn.org a very special heavily discounted rate to publish this one page ad. It is as if NYT was not just publishing an ad, but actually stating their own opinion. Now that NYT has gotten so much flak for it, now they place the blame on MoveOn??????!!!!
NYT is NOT free from bias and of course has always been anti-war and it has shown in their previous past.

While I believe it was definitely in bad taste, we do have freedom of speech right? Also, if the NYT was soooooo upset, why did the editor print it? I love this back pedaling..."oh no, it is MoveOn's fault"...
What fault? Freedom of Speech. They can say what they want........

Let's refresh the publics memory on what they printed about JOHN F. KENNEDY (pay close attention to #5 on this list):
