from The American Spectator:

"Dr. Ben Carson’s whole life has been very unusual, so perhaps we should not be surprised to see the latest twist — the media going ballistic over discrepancies in a few things he said.

"Years ago, when I was writing some autobiographical sketches, I dug up old letters, to check out things that I remembered — and was surprised more than once to discover that my memory was not always exactly the same as the way things had happened and were recorded at the time.

"In the current flap over some things that Dr. Carson said, the biggest discrepancy has been between the furor in the media and the irrelevance of his statements to any political issue...."

http://spectator.org/articles/64603/ben-carson-flaps
 

"For example, in a video that someone dug up, Dr. Carson said to an audience that his 'theory' about the Pyramids is that they were used as storage facilities ... the Pyramids are not an issue in today’s American political campaign, except as a 'gotcha' gimmick.

"Yet the media have paid far more attention to Ben Carson’s speculation about what the Pyramids were built for, thousands of years ago, than to outright lies that Hillary Clinton told about tragic American deaths in Benghazi, within days after she knew the truth, as her own e-mails now reveal ... the media largely circled the wagons to protect Obama — and now to protect Secretary of State Clinton, who carried out the foreign policies that left America’s position in virtually all regions of the world worse than when the Obama administration took office."

The media is the tank for Hillary.   Carson, in the latest polls, is the only one GOP candidate who can beat Clinton.  So they are going after Carson.   If it were someone else, that person would be the focus of the liberal media.

Now does everyone understand the game the media is playing?  They want Hillary Clinton in the Whitehouse in 2017, so, any candidate that emerges as the frontrunner on the Republican side (except Jeb Bush, he's supposed to be the fall guy) will be relentlessly "vetted" and interrogated and slandered until their popularity plummets and their credibility is doubted by the electorate.

This is why it is so important for the GOP candidates to have fair and honest debates, the voters need to do their own vetting of the candidates, we cannot trust the media to look out for our own interests, because they won't.

Dr. Carson is a man of integrity and in the last 2 weeks he has been relentlessly disparaged and slandered by Politico, CNN, WSJ and others.  He may not be the best person to be our next President, but that is for us to decide in the primaries, not the journalists.  As we all know, most of the journalists won't even participate in the primaries (at least in the states where only registered members of the GOP get to vote for the candidate).
