Your complaint, I think, is more suitably directed at the Associated Press, which described Medley as an “activist” in the second sentence of its story, as well as with the headline-writers of the linked news story. (Note the quotation marks around the title of this post).

Aren’t you doing disservice to your readers by labelling her an activist? She was fraud, plain and simple. Did
she ever claim to be activist?

I told this story to my mom, who is handicapped and works for the social security administration as a disability examiner. She not only was NOT surprised, but feels most disabled activists aren’t really disabled.
