Interesting tale on the Drudge Report about an op-ed McCain submitted to the NYT in response to an Obama op-ed, and which the NYT declined to publish. (Thanks to reader Sandy McDonough for the reefer...) It's worth a read. Then put yourself in the editor's shoes. What decision would you have made as editor in the same circumstances? (Of course, I'll be interested if there are other aspects to this decision that we don't about yet, i.e. the NYT side of the story.) With that caveat - that we may not yet know the full story - I have to say that I don't think I'd have made the same decision. If one candidate has opined on a relevant topic and the other candidate seeks to do so, too - and the piece makes even mild sense - I'd feel obliged to publish it out of fairness and in the interest of educating readers. That said, it's often a difficult call. Deputy Editorial Page Editor Sharon Grigsby knows this first hand. Candidates don't always stick to the point, or follow guidelines. We've made a number of tough calls in this department along these lines in the past (not Obama/McCain per se, but in local races from time to time). Sharon reviews more than 300 manuscripts a day for the 3-4 spots on our daily op-ed pages and so we're forced to be very choosy in terms of topics, timeliness, relevancy, etc. In cases like this, we always try to keep the readers' interests in mind and to explain our thinking as clearly and transparently as possib ...

Yesterday, the Drudge Report revealed that the New York Times had rejected a draft op-ed by Sen. John McCain. The right wing rushed to defend McCain yesterday claiming that it was part of an unprecedented conspiracy. But yesterday on CNN, it was revealed that that even as a sitting president, Bill Clinton had “many” op-eds rejected by the Times. ...

The NYT is so dogmatically protectionist in some areas that it will not even allow discussion of free trade on its pages. The protectionist doctrine is perhaps nowhere deeper than in the treatment of health care. The United States has a hugely inefficient health care system. We pay more than twice as much per person as the average for other wealthy countries yet we rank near the bottom in most measures of health outcomes. Reform is blocked by the power of the insurance and pharmaceutical industry, as well as the doctors' lobbies. The obvious solution would be to make it easier for people in the United States to take advantage of the more efficient health care systems elsewhere in the world. But the NYT never even has allowed this idea to be discussed in its pages. Instead, we get diatribes from protectionists like Tyler Cowen, who warns that we will be forced to pay 60-80 percent of income in taxes by the end of the century if we don't change the current structure of Medicare. (You get these numbers by assuming that health care costs continue to grow much faster than income, leading to large budget deficits, and that Congress lets the deficits get ever larger [never raising taxes or cutting spending] so that by the end of the century the country has an incredible debt and interest burden. It's not a serious projection, but it's good for scaring people.) The U.S. health care system is seriously broken. If the political system is to ...

by Katie Fretland The New York Times ' Op-Ed section rejected a written piece by Sen. John McCain about the war and suggested an approach for a second draft. According to the Drudge Report, which first reported the Times' denial of the essay, McCain's essay was a counter argument to an essay by Sen. Barack Obama advocating a phased redeployment of combat troops, which the Times published. In the essay, McCain said he was "dismayed that [Obama] never talks about winning the war--only of ending it. But 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. Instead I will continue implementing a proven counterinsurgency strategy not only in Iraq but also in Afghanistan with the goal of creating stable, secure, self-sustaining democratic allies." Times' Op-Ed page editor David Shipley wrote an e-mail to Michael Goldfarb at the McCain camp with a response to the submitted essay. This is the e-mail , according to Kate Phillips at the Times' political blog, The Caucus. Dear Mr. Goldfarb, Thank you for sending me Senator McCain's essay. I'd be very eager to publish the senator on the Op-Ed page. However, I'm not going to be able to accept this piece as currently written. I'd be pleased, though, to look at another draft. Let me suggest an approach. The Obama piece worked for me because it offered new information (it appeared before his ...

A July 21 Newsmax article by Jim Meyers about the controversy between John McCain and the New York Times over an opinion piece by McCain carries the false headline: "NY Times Censors McCain Op-Ed." Even Meyers didn't make that claim; he correctly notes that "The Times’ Op-Ed page editor David Shipley explained that he spurned the McCain piece largely because he wanted to hear more detail on the Republican candidate’s plan for Iraq." But Meyers didn't note -- as did an Associated Press article published by Newsmax a little more than an hour after posting Meyers' article -- that the Times also said in a statement: "It is standard procedure on our op-ed page, and that of other newspapers, to go back and forth with an author on his or her submission. We look forward to publishing Sen. McCain's views in our paper just as we have in the past." The AP article also noted that "The newspaper said it has published at least seven of McCain's op-ed pieces since 1996"; Meyers made no mention of that. ...
