The NYT did what newspapers are supposed to do, it analyzed the impact of the Medicare proposals of President Obama and Governor Romney. It charted out their differences and gave the opinions of some leading experts in the area.
This is important. Reporters should have the time to do this sort of investigation. The overwhelming majority of readers do not have time to evaluate the accuracy of competing claims, which is why the he said/she said reporting that has become standard is so offensive.
