Ben Carson is a Doctor. Jill Biden Is Not.

In these days of widespread irrational intellectual weakness, op-eds seem to be the ultimate catalyst for partisan madness. Earlier this year, when Sen. Tom Cotton — who served in the United States Army in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq — wrote an opinion piece titled “Send In The Troops” for the New York Times, the Left’s outrage (including multiple journalists at the Times) was so profuse that the organization apologized for publishing the opinion of a sitting U.S. Senator.

“We’ve examined the piece and the process leading up to its publication,” said Eileen Murphy, a spokeswoman for the New York Times. “This review made clear that a rushed editorial process led to the publication of an op-ed that did not meet our standards.”
