NYT Rejects McCain's Editorial, Should "Mirror" Obama's.....
You stay classy, liberal media bias......
Via Drudge....
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' 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.'
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.]

If you don't parrot the NYT you don't get published by them. I'm surprised Mc Cain even bothered.

Elric: Fish have been known to object to keeping such company as the NYT.

"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.' "
kinda like the Muslim Judge telling the Christian father of the kidnapped young girls..."No, you cannot have them back, they are now Muslim."
both the judge and the editor are playing God..

What's really funny is the fallout.
Now the piece is on Drudge, FoxNews, WorldNetDaily and I'm guessing lots of other sites, who collectively reach a far larger audience than the NYT. Essentially, they screwed themselves. Nice.
