Paul Ryan’s “Roadmap for America’s Future” has gotten some ink back in his home state.
And it’s gotten attention for getting attention.
But except for an anti-Ryan blog, there’s been little or nothing written about some of the national or even international coverage Ryan has gotten criticizing the plan in detail.
The two stories linked in the previous paragraph aren’t from partisan sources but rather from serious journalistic outlets: The Atlantic and The Economist — the latter concluding: “Mr Ryan has put forward a serious proposal for shrinking medical-cost inflation and hence shrinking the long-term federal budget deficit. It does so by ending America’s provision of first-rate health care to all seniors. Rich seniors will still be able to afford high-quality medical care. Poor seniors won’t. They will suffer more and die younger.”
Will local news outlets take note of such perspectives in future Ryan coverage?
