MoveOn.org has agreed to pay an additional $77,508 for a Sept. 10 ad it ran in The New York Times blasting Gen. David Petraeus (shown here), calling him “General Betray Us,” on the day he testified to Congress. The Times initially charged $64,575, the “standby” rate when the date of placement can’t be guaranteed, instead of $142,083, the paper’s rate when ads run on the day intended. Frankly, I’m amazed the paper is having financial woes when it continues to command such high ad rates.
