> The most common thread in these ... Superficially, yeah. I'd read that situation as a combination of (1) "millions of clicks from wanna-feel-happy lefties pay the bills" journalism, and (2) editors wanting "friends" in the "so rich I can afford to be a blinkered ideologue" progressive set. For those inclined to real-world public policy, the main result I see is that the complex "needs testing" part of existing entitlement and welfare programs is 99% ideological/political bullshit and bureaucratic make-work.
