REJECTED REBUTTAL..THE TIMES THEY ARE ACHANGIN'

It would seem that the nyt has rejected a McCain rebuttal piece to an editorial by b.o.

Obviously, the paper has the right to print or not to print.

But it has an obligation, as a paper of record, which it used to be, to be 'fair and balanced'.

Obligation v. right....

You have the right to cross the street if the green light is with you.
You have an obligation not to exercise that right if oncoming traffic is going to 'run' the red.

Not exactly the same thing, but the nyt should not exercise the right not to print.

The times, no pun intended, are achangin'.
