Well it looks like Politico hired some people from the Dan Rather school of journalism.

Politico‘s Kyle Cheney admitted that he fabricated a negative story about Ben Carson. At least, according to his own standards, he admitted the grievous journalistic sin.

In a story published early on Friday, Politico’s Kyle Cheney authored a piece headlined “Ben Carson admits fabricating West Point scholarship” with a subhed “Carson’s campaign on Friday conceded that a central point in his inspirational personal story did not occur as he previously described.”

There were at least five major problems with the story:

  • The headline was completely false
  • The subhed was also completely false
  • The opening paragraph was false false false
  • The substance of the piece was missing key exonerating information
  • The article demonstrated confusion about service academy admissions and benefits
But other than that, A+++ work, Kyle Cheney and Politico.

Our moral, ethical, and intellectual betters in the media are nothing if not scrupulously consistent.(Snip for video)

May 5, 2008: “I want to just stipulate at the beginning of this interview: We are declaring a Rev. Wright-Free Zone today. So, no questions about Rev. Wright. Our viewers want us to move on, so this morning we’re going to move on. Is that okay with you?” “Fair enough. That sounds just fine.”

Maybe, but Carson is definitely a fool's joke as well as all who support him.

How typically leftist. You caught us lying, so what, we don't care. Do you even fathom how precarious of a position you put yourself in when you so easily accept, and even advocate a government/media that continually lies to you?
