It is often very frustrating to see media ignore the obvious. ..even more so when the core character in a story is in the news every day. Did Ben Carson punch some kid when he was eleven? Who cares! But there is a pattern of behavior obvious to anyone with eyes, it is a crime to ignore it.
Lie number one, Mr. Carson. You didn’t chose Yale over West Point because you chose medicine. It was perfectly possible to get a FREE medical degree there. (I had a student do it at the same time,) but then, young Doctor Carson would have owed his nation six years of service—at a decent salary but not nearly the money he would have made in private practice. The army supports good students through residency! Any reporter could have known this and called him on it.
Follow Carson through his career and you can see the same pattern again and again. He retires early to make money on books. He lies about a contract to be paid by a voodoo medicine company. (That’s so easy to prove, and yet no media sleuth has pulled those checks or published a record of his speeches.)
At every stage, at every decision point, the very religious Dr. Carson has opted for money over service. Why is this not evident when it is so easy to document?
is the media so enamored of a soft spoken con man that they will not counter anything he says? Are they just hungry for news? Or just incompetent? Tonight will tell.
