How else did anyone find out? Did the NYT issue a press release?

From CNN.

Quote:
Here is the op-ed piece written by Sen. John McCain that the New York Times declined to run. The piece was released to CNN by the McCain campaign:

From Howard Kurtz:

Quote:
Prospective authors don't usually make a big announcement when their prose is rejected by the New York Times Op-Ed page. But John McCain's campaign is telling the world that the liberal opinion and commentary page turned down his submission on Iraq, just days after publishing a similar piece by Barack Obama.
Quote:
At this point McCain strategists had three choices. They could a) rework the article for the Times, b) submit it to another newspaper or c) clip it to Matt Drudge. They chose c).
In other words...

Why? It sounds less like "suspicion" and more like "paranoia" quite frankly.
