EditThe New York Times, which last week printed an op-ed piece by Senator Obama on the Iraq War, has rejected an article on the same subject by Senator John McCain. Says editorial page editor, David Shipley, “It would be terrific to have an article from Sen. McCain that mirrors Sen. Obama’s piece.” (http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/07/mccain-oped-not.html)
As our Black brethren might say, “Say what???”
Since the “paper of record,” “the old, gray lady,” has now become a senile, old, corrupt, censorial b*tch determined to dictate rather than report and editorially comment upon the news, we hereby proudly re-print in its entirety that piece written by John McCain:
If you agree that the piece by McCain should have been printed as a fair counterbalance to Obama’s opinions, please consider writing a letter of protest to the NYT at http://www.nytimes.com/, email address: ASKTHETIMES@NYTIMES.COM, street address: NYT, ONE CITY HALL, NEW YORK, N.Y. 10007.
It’s time the Times learns that all the news that fits doesn’t fit anymore.
