Media Double Standard: Ben Carson Is a Liar But Barack Obama Isn’t a Kenyan
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 11/06/15 | Jim Hoft

How’s this for a media double standard?

Barack Obama was either born in Kenya or he lied about it for years. Breitbart.com published a 1991 booklet by Barack Obama’s literary agent today that says Obama was “born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.”

The liberal media later blamed the publisher, not Obama for giving the publisher the information.

But that same liberal media is calling neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson a liar for his stories of struggling as a child in inner city Detroit. What a bunch of hypocritical trash!

Either bammy gave false info or true info. In either case he’s a liar and not eligible for the presidency.

Yeah and bigger yet, the word used yesterday in relation to Carson was character. So, in essence we have witnessed the years of preparation and the 7 years as President of a man of NO character at all, since he cannot admit the truth of his beginnings or he lied about it at a convenient time. This precedent of a NO character president should wake us all to never allow it to happen again.

0bama hasn’t been good for the country, and Carson wouldn’t be any better.

It’s beyond media bias. It’s gaslighting, and it’s done both willfully and brazenly.

Double standards might be dealt with reason and vigilance. This is propaganda and manipulation. Until there is a price that outweighs the benefits to the gaslighters, it’s going to get worse.

It used to be an issue and somewhat of a news story when the media was called out for being biased. They used to care and tried to hide it. They used to as least try to make an appearance of having a little bit of journalistic integrity.

Now they don’t care. They don’t even try to hide it anymore. They wear their bias like a badge and don’t even try to be neutral. Every story has their agenda written all over it.

I wonder where the switch is from Capitalist to Communist when you become very wealthy? It appears to not be a dollar amount, but when engulfed by corruption.

Some of the biggest communist I know are very wealthy. For instance George Soros.

How can that be when it was Capitalism that gave them their wealth?

A “psy-op” (psychological operations) tactic in other words....

You are probably correct. Calling it hypocrisy is being kind.

It’s deliberate and intentional character assassination. The media willingly lies for Marxists and tries to destroy normal people.

The lame stream can’t abide with a Black, male conservative. It doesn’t fit the mold in their feeble brains. Remember Herman Cain...and the newer celeb Sheriff David Clarke.

It would be nice to see the Republicans rip into the Media at the upcoming debate (once again!).

The media has done more digging into Carson's past in one month that they have dug into Obama's past in 8 years!

This point is so crazy. I don’t know what they are trying to make us think. Here is a guy who got a full scholarship to Yale, arguably the second toughest school in this country to get into. And the point is that he lied about getting a scholarship at a lessor school (lessor only in that it is ranked lower by US News and World Report)when that school does not charge any student. And he has always said that he never applied to any other school than Yale.

The press does not make sense here. Who would imagine that the head of the Detroit ROTC, who had grades to get into Yale on a full ride would not be acceptable to West Point?

Regardless of whether the offer was formal, informal, an off the cuff remark, or an exaggeration, its clear Carson was West Point material and that West Point would want him. At the time, a substantial part of the army was black. And very few of the West Point graduates were black.

You can’t read anything from Obama’s early years without finding untrue statements. Carson is a breath of fresh air next to Obama. Carson is the real deal. Obama is an actor who fit the suit, just a creation for the audience. He was not anything before they made him up and sold him to us as President.

Remember when John Kerry was in Cambodia on Christmas?

“Barack Obama was either born in Kenya or he lied about it for years.”
That’s `question begging’. He says now that he was born in Hawaii.

Of course like most Democrats he’s fought like a tiger to hide the facts, with the cooperation of the MSM, while the GOP has snoozed or ridiculed those of us who demanded his impeachment.
