Eight Louisiana local papers ran an op-ed by Senator John Kennedy about how unfair it is for biological males to be competition in women’s sports after they “transition”. Corrupt left wing USA Today decided to quietly have these papers delete this op-ed because USA Today (owned by Gannett) claims op-ed violated its “ethical guidelines,” stating that the company “will treat people with respect.” Really?
“The opinion teams across the USA TODAY Network are focused on delivering local, timely, relevant, and diverse opinion pieces,” Michael McCarter, Gannett Opinion Editor and Vice President of Standards and Ethics, said. “We recognize the importance of sharing varying perspectives and the vital role we play convening conversations. Sen. John Kennedy’s submitted opinion column did not meet our ethical guidelines, which state we will treat people with respect. After further review, our editorial team removed the column from our website. Sen. Kennedy has been given the opportunity to revise his language – not his viewpoint – to adhere with our standards.”
The outlet further told the Caller it was extending Kennedy the opportunity to “resubmit his column.” It did not respond to the Caller’s follow-up question on why the op-ed was published in the first place if it violated its ethical standards.
“He is welcome to resubmit his column for publication. We stand by our ethical standards and guidelines,” Gannett told the Daily Caller.
