According to Drudge*, The New York Times has rejected an editorial by John McCain, just one week after printing one from Barack Obama.
Fair and balanced?
*(Yeah, I know. Take with a large grain of salt.)

LINKS: Allahpundit comments. As does Power Line. Jonathan Martin of Politico discusses the ridiculous changes the Times wanted. Rick Moran sees it as another example of why the Times is dying.
UPDATE: A quote from Senator McCain's editorial that The New York Times, which bills itself as the "paper of record," refused to publish:
I am also dismayed that [Senator 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.
It's for this clear-sightedness, as opposed banal slogans, that I'm voting for the Grumpy Old Guy.
