In 2008, a mere month prior to Election Day, CNN investigative report Drew Griffin uncovered a game-changer: then-candidate Barack Obama had lied about his adult relationship with terrorist Bill Ayers. Watch the video. Watch CNN's Anderson Cooper drop it as a nothingburger. Neither CNN nor the rest of the DC Media would ever touch the subject again.
Fast-forward eight years. In what is obviously a racially-motivated effort to disqualify a free-thinking black man, CNN is pouring a half-dozen investigative reporters into Detroit with the goal of destroying Carson's rise to power. This is part of the CNN's DNA. Going back to slavery, Jim Crow, and segregation, Democrats have been socialized into destroying black people who threaten their political power.
Because no one can remember a few fights and a non-stabbing that occurred more than fifty years ago, CNN is smearing Carson as a liar and crazy. Imagine that: growing up in a violent ghetto and not being able to remember someone throwing a rock 57 years ago?
In a 30-minute CNN interrogation by an alternately patronizing, belligerent, and defensive Alisyn Camerota Friday morning, Dr. Ben Carson stayed on offense. He attacked the network based on facts: The fact CNN did not vet Barack Obama; the fact that CNN's so-called investigative reporters have not talked to people from the era when the incidents occurred; the fact that CNN and the rest of the DC Media only seek to personally destroy Republicans while Hillary Clinton is awarded The Best Week Ever after it was proven she had lied to the American people about Benghazi.

I would ask where ae Obama's interviews with Obama's friends
Interviews with Benghazi
Well Carson’ stock price will rise today.
The media is pushing Carson like they did McCain in 2008. I wonder why?
This is a two-fer for Time-Lies-Warner-Turner-CNN, either Ben Carson was a violent malcontent or he was a liar. Either way it highlights ‘negatives’.
Boycott Time-Warner.
Well, when you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail, right?
What is Carson trying to establish about himself by insisting how “bad” he was when he was not a Christian. Is he implying that Christianity diminishes a man’s manhood?
I think he's objecting to CNN insinuating that he_s a liar.
It's kind of odd to be defending bad reports about yourself, but I believe that Ben is a sincere believer and his personal conversion is a great testimony to the saving power of faith in Christ.
“The media is pushing Carson like they did McCain in 2008. I wonder why?”
The media wanted Bush to run against Hillary to ensure her win. Jeb has fizzled, despite the msm’s best efforts. Plan B is run her against Rubio or Carson, whom they have enough dirt on to sink them in 2016. It is all about getting Hillary in the oval office.
“The media is pushing Carson like they did McCain in 2008. I wonder why?”
Grain filled pyramids.
From the article:
CNN is pouring a half-dozen investigative reporters into Detroit with the goal of destroying Carson's rise to power.
Like they poured “investigative” reporters into Wasilla, Alaska to dig dirt on Palin.
I was watching Ben on FNC last night talking to Megyn about the incident with his mother.
Thinking this is may give opponents fodder to come after him for being unstable, potentially violent again, etc.
Who among us did not do “stupid” things when we were young? But we aren’t running for POTUS.
This dirt is being shoveled by Jeb, Cruz, or Trump. I don’t think it’s Trump, it’s not his style to leak things through surrogates. He’d rather announce something than leak it. This is definitely a Bush or Cruz camp leak.
It's tough to find someone who isn't "marginalized." Myself... I've received over 40 tickets in my lifetime. Mostly just for speeding. (A couple or three "engaging in unlawful speed contest" thrown in there) No DUI or anything like that. But they'd probably make a big deal out of it :) Even though I paid them with my own money and didn't put them on a RNC credit card or anything :)
“This is definitely a Bush or Cruz camp leak.”
I cannot, in any way, see any conservative candidate working behind the scenes with the MSM. Even Carson is blaming CNN, not the other candidates.
But this is right down the Bush alley, I'm afraid. They know very well how to play this game.
Further, I don’t think it’s the Dems or the liberal media. I’d think they want to keep their powder dry until the general if they really thought there was something there.
Plan B is run her against Rubio or Carson, whom they have enough dirt on to sink them in 2016. It is all about getting Hillary in the oval office.
