It isn't a secret to those of us who read newspapers that President Obama wants to reform health care. So where does the NYT get off printing a comment from someone working for Peter G. Peterson saying about health care costs that: "he hasn’t addressed that issue yet?"
Peterson and his crew are apparently willing to say anything to advance their agenda of cutting Social Security and Medicare. That is their right. However, the NYT does a serious disservice when it reports blatantly untrue comments as though they are reasonable claims about the world.
Unlike many news organizations, the Prospect has remained staunchly committed to keeping our journalism free and accessible to all. We believe that independent journalism is crucial for a functioning democracy—but quality reporting comes at a cost. From Trump’s threat to the free press to Musk’s influence on our democracy, there is too much at stake in 2025 to stop now.
We’re behind on our goal to raise $75,000 to continue delivering the hard-hitting investigative journalism you’ve come to expect from us. Your support helps us maintain our independence and dig deeper into the stories that matter most.
We need you to make a year-end contribution today. Any amount helps secure our future and ensure we can continue holding power to account.
