Followup To That NYT Rejection
A little more news out regarding The New York Times' rejection of John McCain's op-ed piece has come out.
Appears the NYT also rejected several op-eds from Bill Clinton, and while he was president. So the whole NYT liberal biaz against McCain isn't holding much water - at least in this instance.
Quote from a former deputy press secretary of Clinton's on CNN: When I worked for President Clinton, “The New York Times” rejected many op-eds written by him as a sitting president of the United States. They don’t just give up space to a candidate because their opponent has space. You can’t just go — you can’t go to “The New York Times” editorial page and say I want to say what’s wrong with the other guy. They want to leverage their space, which is very valuable, to force you to say something you haven’t said before. And I think that they turned down McCain not because they like Obama but because McCain, all he was doing in his piece was criticizing Obama and they wanted him to put him on the spot to say more.
