As the New York Times’ Kristof concluded, “This is painful for a liberal to admit, but conservatives have a point when they suggest that America’s safety net can sometimes entangle people in a soul-crushing dependency. Our poverty programs do rescue many people, but other times they backfire.”
When even two progressive media outlets like NPR and the New York Times concede that America’s disability program is riddled with fraud and abuse that hurts children and families, you know the problem is real and pressing.
Instead of attacking its progressive allies, Media Matters should be applauding NPR and the New York Times for reporting the truth—a truth that conservatives have been highlighting for decades.
