In July 2008, McCain submitted an editorial to the ''[[New York Times]]'', responding to an Obama editorial it had printed. The Times rejected it; see [[McCain Editorial]]. Ironically, McCain is the candidate they endorsed. In their defense, Times op-ed editor David Shipley "...because it did not offer new information." Plus, they made the point that they have been publishing McCains Op-Ed articles since 1996. No mention if those were rejected. McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds responds "John McCain believes that victory in [[Iraq]] must be based on conditions on the ground, not arbitrary timetables. Unlike [[Barack Obama]], that position will not change based on politics or the demands of the New York Times,” <ref>[http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/07/21/mccain-campaign-says-new-york-times-blocked-op-ed-response-to-obama/ New York Times Blocked Op-Ed Response to Obama] Fox News July 21, 2008</ref>
