Politicians write op-eds for newspapers all the time. Whether you like what they say or not, they are a pretty standard thing to see in the papers each day. Rejections are not uncommon, but they are not usually for the reason given recently by this major newspaper. The opinion page is separate from the newspaper. Financial considerations should not be taken into account when deciding whether to publish something. They rejected a pitch from this probable 2024 A++ wannabe, not because of the content, but because he was going to discuss the offerings of a streaming service. The newspaper didn't want to tick off the streaming service because they have huge pending financial deals with the service.
