The "Newspaper of Record" ran a big story this week that valiantly tried to show how state and local government workers have it so very tough these days.
The 2,240-word front-page story in The New York Times begins by lamenting that, while government jobs used to provide "a comfortable nook in the middle class," those days are gone.
"The ranks of state and local employees have languished even as the populations they serve have grown," the article says. "The 19.5 million workers who remain are finding themselves financially downgraded."
The article goes on to quote Neil Reichenberg, executive director of the International Public Management Association for Human Resources, who says that "it's a tough time to be working in government."
The Times focuses, not surprisingly, on a Republican state — Oklahoma — which it describes as "one of several Republican-led states where persistent anti-tax sentiment and severe budget cuts have guided policymaking."
But in their zeal to tell this story, the Times reporters had to ignore some relevant facts that more or less completely undercut it.
