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.
