      Times Rejects McCain Op-Ed 'as Currently Written'

      The New York Times has turned down John McCain's rebuttal to a recent Barack Obama op-ed on Iraq, telling the Republican’s campaign it isn’t “able to accept this piece as currently written.” A campaign insider tells Drudge that the Grey Lady simply doesn’t agree with his candidate’s policies; the op-ed editor maintains Mac didn’t “offer new information” in his piece.

      'Ferocious Kind of Love' Behind Times -Bashing

      It seems these days everyone’s got a beef with the New York Times these days, so Vanity Fair set out to find out why, asking a panel of experts their thoughts. Simple envy is the primary culprit, some say; others cite "a ferocious kind of love"; the paper's "holier-than-thou" stance, even as it's in decline, also proved irksome. More »

    • Obama Rebuts Times Race Story—With Paper's Own Poll

      Obama Rebuts Times Race Story&mdash;With Paper's Own Poll

      The Obama campaign has fired back at a front-page New York Times story, which concludes from a poll today that the Dem isn’t healing racial division. The campaign uses stats from the paper's own survey, Talking Points Memo reports. The article “ignores…some straightforward points from their data,” an Obama memo charges. Perhaps chief among them, “More white voters say Obama cares about people like them, than say the same thing about McCain." More »

      New York Times Dismantles Rods After 3rd Climber

      After the third man in 5 weeks scaled the facade of the New York Times building, the newspaper has begun removing dozens of the distinctive horizontal rods that sheathe the new skyscraper. Opened last year and designed by Renzo Piano, the building has attracted death-defying climbers who have ascended all the way to the top via the ladder-like beams. The Times building's trademark rods are energy-efficient, designed to admit sunlight without overheating the interior. More »

      America: Land of Doggy Doping

      Americans spent $49 billion on their pets last year, with an ever-growing percentage paying for treatment of  behavioral issues with tailor-made psychotropics, reports James Vlahos in the New York Times Magazine . Frustrated owners are feeding dogs drugs like Reconcile—beef-flavored Prozac—-for "mental illnesses that eerily resemble human ones," from separation anxiety to compusive disorder. There are even doggy diet pills. More »

      Times Editorial Has White House Seeing Red

      The New York Times lambasted President Bush in an editorial today for opposing the new GI Bill, and the White House swiftly fired back, the Hill reports. The paper “irresponsibly distorted” Bush's opposition to the bill, said a statement from press secretary Dana Perino, who said the editorial "could not be farther from the truth about the president’s record of leadership on this issue."

      Rich Colleges Should Save Nation's Top Newspapers

      The New York Times is in "perilous financial condition," and colleges would play the perfect savior, Lee Smith writes in the Chronicle for Higher Education . His plan: Have the seven richest institutions direct 3% of their endowments—which, combined, come to $114 billion— to buying the Gray Lady. "That's for a start." Later on, universities could snap up other papers that "make intellectual life possible." More »

      Newspaper Circulation Off 3.6%

      Newspaper circulation contracted the past six months as competition from Internet sources and cutbacks in advertising decreased sales, Bloomberg reports. Circulation dropped 3.6% for the industry as a whole, with only USA Today and the Wall Street Journal enjoying slightly increased circulation among the 25 largest papers. "The decline is certainly worse than in the past few years,'' one analyst said. More »

      Times Scolds Clinton for 'Demeaning' the Campaign

      The New York Times today runs a scathing takedown of the candidate they endorsed for the Democratic nomination, asserting that Hillary Clinton’s attack mentality “undercuts the rationale for her candidacy that led this page ... to support her.” The paper's editorial board said the Pennsylvania primary race was “even meaner, more vacuous, more desperate” than those that came before—and the fault lies in the former first lady’s camp.

      Bloomberg Won't Buy NY Times

      If the New York Times is wooing potential buyers as many have speculated, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg seems to be an ideal suitor. He heads a media empire, has a $12 billion fortune and the acumen to go mano-a-mano with Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal— and he'll have time on his hands when he leaves office next year. Only problem: he's not interested. More »

      A newly Rupert Murdoch-ified Wall Street Journal throws down the gauntlet at the New York Times tomorrow , reports Newsweek , in the biggest battle of newspaper titans since Hearst v. Pulitzer. Murdoch is looking for (more) power and respect from the journalistic elite at a time when the Gray Lady is weakened by a huge loss of advertising and revenue. More »

      'Death by Blogging' Story Was Pure Hooey

      The relentlessly self-analytical blogosphere had a field day with the recent New York Times story on bloggers allegedly writing themselves to death. But as the Internet exploded with reaction to the paper's claims, a Slate critic points out that the dire trend story was backed up by the thinnest tissue of circumstance. "Let's not kid ourselves that any white-collar work ranks high among dangerous professions," sniffs Timothy Noah in Slate. More »
