Some Republicans are calling for the House to investigate the New York Time’s charging MoveOn a lower rate on the “Betray Us” ad. Well it looks like the New York Times isn’t the only ones guilty of such an error:
The Star Tribune will be refunding about $12,000 spent on a full-page ad to Al Franken’s Senate campaign, a Franken campaign spokesman says.
This week, Sen. Norm Coleman’s campaign took out a full-page ad in the newspaper criticizing Franken for not condemning a New York Times ad by MoveOn.org, which had attacked General David Petraeus.
Coleman’s campaign says it paid a little over $23,000 on the ad — far less than the $37,000 that Franken’s campaign says it paid for a full-page ad two months ago.
Glad they are refunding money to Franken, but was this an “accident”? Perhaps the House should investigate this, if they are too take up the MoveOn ad.
