Guarantee his right to go column-inch for column-inch with BHO? Somehow, I doubt that's Pelosi's intent. If the arrogant know-nothings that work at the NYT would publicly admit their biases killed the paper, that would be ever so tasty.

Looks like the media love fest is officially over for McCain. Let the stalking horse march to the finish line. Hey John, don’t whine about it- Phil Gramm.

We Americans expect at least some degree of objectivity from the news media, and when we obviously don't get it, the backlash will begin. I believe that all of their coverage will be judged by what it is, partisan drivel,(even if by some miracle they try to be objective before the election) by the vast majority of independent voters. Their credibility is gone beyond repair. So - in a perverse way - thank you for not publishing Sen . McCain's editorial response. I respect your editorial bias. That is indeed a sad commentary on the state of the MSM today. Here I am thanking them for their bias, not to mention their stupidity, because it will help "my" candidate. I can hardly wait to have a drink or two or three at the newspaper's wake. So - Thank You - NYT.

I voted for McGovern, (I was very young) and Clinton, the first time. So, I am no rightwing ideologue. I have NEVER seen anything like what is going on with the media today. The bias is SO huge, I am actually beginning to wonder if some in the MSM aren't on the take? I have been following presidentail campaigns since 1956……my family were huge Stevenson fans.

Like Joseph Goebbels, American main stream media has replaced objectivity, integrity, and free choice with one sided reporting, that reflects their bias for Barack Obama. The American Press used to be the last bastion of truth. When special interests got out of hand, the press came to the rescue and exposed them to the public. Now, the press is the special interest with their own agenda. THE FOURTH ESTATE IS STARTING RESEMBLE THE THIRD REICH.

Y'now... as an avid reader without any secondary edjumacation, I thought it was AWFUL! It was nothing more than a snarky comeback piece without substance. You can say, "I BELIEVE" all you want, but it did nothing to give McCain's platform or vision a real boost. I liked McCain a lot last time around, and even then I had age concerns. I've read his position pieces, and try to get info from all the news sources I can. Both here and abroad. I find that the O-haters are really just that - "haters". People who really bring out the worst in our country and then wrap it in a flag and try shove it down our throats as loudly as possible. I truly hope that after November 2 we can actually get back to the business of being a country united, rather than divided - and I mean that with all my heart, regardless of who is sworn into office come January. If you're so far RIGHT that LIBS make you gag, or so far LEFT that the NEO-CONS sicken you, then you have simply become the charicature your opponent made you out to be!

Rupert Murdoch has transformed the Wall St. Journal into a formidable competitor to the NYT. And he has done it by providing fair and balanced op-ed pages similar to what he accomplished with Fox News.

David: “from what I have heard, the submitted piece was on the level of Freshman 101 essay, with vagueness, generalities and a bit of anti-Obama snarkiness instead of substance.” Try reading something before you comment on it. I DID read the piece and the NT Times should have printed it. Their reasons for not printing it are pure B.S. It looks like they want to get McCain to give a concrete timeline for troop withdrawal but McCain is too smart to fall for that. Besides he said the troops would be pulled out as the situation on the ground warrants. I don’t know why it posted as “Anonymous:” That was kinda strange.
