It’s not enough that the Grey Lady has to ignore the news and storylines which don’t favor their candidate of choice, carry a boatload of pro-Obama columns, and provide space for Barack Obama’s foreign policy announcements. Now the editors want to rewrite John McCain’s op-eds.
Can you imagine the editing process? “Good try, Mr. McCain but you left out the 100-year pledge. And why didn’t you list your age?” I can hardly wait to see what Clark Hoyt has to say about this. (By the way, leaking this is a heck of a lot more creative and effective than those three-page letters of complaint they used to crank out.)
Read the op-ed here. I can understand why the Times wouldn’t want to shake their readers’ world view with a cogently written article raising a bunch of facts the Times hasn’t really covered.
