The International Herald-Tribune, which is owned by the NY Times, defends its decision to publish an Iranian nuke ad. The Jerusalem Post writes:
An IHT spokesman, asked whether accepting such an ad was appropriate, wrote: “We believe that advertising should be as free and open as the dictates of honesty and decency allow. In our view, advertising is an essential ingredient in the broad concept of a free press.”
The press is free. All others pay cash.
