View Full Version : NYT rejects McCain's editorial; should 'mirror' obama

I've always thought the NYT was just another Barack Hussein Obama unoffical press secretary:

An editorial written by Republican presidential hopeful McCain has been rejected by the NEW YORK TIMES -- less than a week after the paper published an essay written by Obama, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

The paper's decision to refuse McCain's direct rebuttal to Obama's 'My Plan for Iraq' (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/14/opinion/14obama.html?_r=1&oref=slogin) has ignited explosive charges of media bias in top Republican circles.

'It would be terrific to have an article from Senator McCain that mirrors Senator Obama's piece,' NYT Op-Ed editor David Shipley explained in an email late Friday to McCain's staff. 'I'm not going to be able to accept this piece as currently written.'

In McCain's submission to the TIMES, he writes of Obama: 'I am dismayed that he never talks about winning the war—only of ending it... if we don't win the war, our enemies will. A triumph for the terrorists would be a disaster for us. That is something I will not allow to happen as president.'

NYT's Shipley advised McCain to try again: 'I'd be pleased, though, to look at another draft.'

[Shipley served in the Clinton Administration from 1995 until 1997 as Special Assistant to the President and Senior Presidential Speechwriter.]


A top McCain source claims the paper simply does not agree with the senator's Iraq policy, and wants him to change it, not "re-work the draft."

The moonbat editor wants Juan to "mirror" the Messiah's essay - this is why the left will never make "the Fairness Doctrine" apply to them.

Unless McCain agrees with obamination, the NYT won't print it. Gee, and they wonder why they are failing.

And yet at one time the rag endorsed McCain for the GOP nomination.

Never trust a publication edited by someone (nick)named "Pinch."

Nobody needed any more proof of the NY Slimes' bias, but they went ahead and provided it anyway.

Surprised? No way, Hosea...more than just a bit pissed off, but not surprised.

Actually, I'm rather pleased by this. The NY Times reveals its bias, and perhaps McCain will come just a bit closer to realizing how morally and ethically challenged the MSM and the left in general really are.

This is a gift to McCain really. With every MSM outlet following Obama around on the world love me tour, McCain actually makes it into the headlines and it's with yet another example of the crush the media has on Obama. The NYT just pulled out the highlighter for him.

If McCain's team were smart, this would have been intentional. But I doubt that's the case.

It should "mirror" Obama? So you have to be a flip-flopper to be published in the NYT now?
