Ignore them if you want to. But don't tell the NY Times or any other newspaper they can't print an OPINION because some people disagree with it. Op-eds have been around long before any of us were born. They are part of the life blood of a free press. If we start limiting them, you limit freedom of the press. We're going to have enough trouble with Trump and his dingbat magamaniacs putting clamps on the press in America and our freedoms over the next four years. We don't need Democrats doing it too.
