16. yeah, Mika was just flogging this story on MSNBC to a McCain supporter
"What was wrong with the op ed that the NYT didn't want to print it???"


Mika, the "op ed" that McCain offered can be read, and it's pretty apparent that the reason it was rejected was BECAUSE IT WAS NOT AN EDITORIAL! The NYT response was basically that they would be willing to look at a more detailed draft, but this one bit big time.


This is another notch in their attempt to paint the media as biased against McCain...the McCain camp could have just submitted a different draft, but instead, they are using this as an opportunity to try and get in good with Drudge and complain about the media coverage to advance their narrative.
