Politico: Carson lied about admission to West Point.

[Iceweasel]

NaziCons need to stop lying about Politico - because Politico stands by its story.

Editor’s note: POLITICO stands by its reporting on this story, which has been updated to reflect Ben Carson’s on the record response. The original story and headline said that Carson’s campaign had admitted he"fabricated" a "full scholarship" from West Point, but now Carson denies that his campaign’s statement constituted such an admission, and the story and headline were changed to reflect that. POLITICO’s reporting established that Carson said he received a "full scholarship" from West Point, in writing and in public appearances over the years — but in fact he did not and there is actually no such thing as a "full scholarship" to the taxpayer-funded academy. And today in response to POLITICO he acknowledged for the first time that was not the case. Carson never explicitly wrote that he had applied for admission to West Point, although that was the clear implication of his claim to have received an offer of a "full scholarship," a point that POLITICO’s initial report should have made clear.

How low can the Liberals go to discredit a Republican candidate? Politico Admits Fabricating A Hit Piece On Ben Carson

The truth is "low" now? Well, I suppose to RWrs, that is "true".

Please provide "credible" proof that Politico "admits fabricating a hit piece on Ben Carson".

If you dispute the source, then find your own - not my problem nor my responsibility to satisfy a Liberal loon.

Why don't you just go read Politico's updated story if you want to see exactly where Politico stands at this moment.

If it was accurate it wouldn't need "updating". They LIED when they said the campaign admitted Carson fabricated the story. Get someone to walk you through this.

Ben's own campaign said he fabricated the story...

Can you support that?

That's how the story was reported. His campaign admitted there was no scholarship offer. Politico only updated the story to reflect Ben's denials, however, it's kind of hard to get around the fact that the general never met with Ben on Memorial Day, as stated in his book.

I asked if you could support it. You couldn't so you went for another smear. He met with the General at a banquet at another time. Wow, that's serious. You libs care nothing about the steady stream of lies and want to turn that into a national crisis?

Politico Admits Fabricating A Hit Piece On Ben Carson
Politico's editorial staff on Friday conceded that entire basis of attack on Carson was invented out of whole cloth.
November 6, 2015 By Mollie Hemingway

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

Politico stands by their story, they've only updated it to reflect Ben's denials. Ben's book says he met with Westmoreland on Memorial Day and he was offered a scholarship. Neither happened.

The Federalist is a right wing extremist site, and not a credible source.

So what?

We know the facts.

Carson said he got offered a full scholarship to West Point.

He didn't.

So the truth is that the campaign is still denying the undeniable truth that Carson lied?

Somehow that makes it better? lol

NaziCons don't care that Rain Man Carson is lying out his ass - they just want to attack Politico. So funny...

Liberals talking about lying like its a bad thing is like Hitler railing against antisemitism
