Story from the Wichita Beagle about...er, the Wichita Beagle:
The Wichita Eagle violated its own advertising policies when it published a two-page ad Thursday that resembled a news story and offered readers "free" money.
The ad, which appeared on pages 4B and 5B of Thursday's paper, ran under the headline "Free money giveaway kicks off new $10 bills."
The ad contained phone numbers for hotlines from the "National Control Center" that urged readers to call in as soon as possible to get the free money.
The offer was for an uncut sheet of 16 new $10 bills. When readers called the hotline, however, they learned it would cost them about $400 to get the sheet, which includes a "free" older-circulation $10 bill....
