The Wall Street Journal fact-checked another claim in the retired neurosurgeon's 1990 autobiography, "Gifted Hands," and found more evidence of a potentially fabricated story. The Journal's Reid Epstein reported:
"Mr. Carson writes of a Yale psychology professor who told Mr. Carson, then a junior, and the other students in the class—identified by Mr. Carson as Perceptions 301—that their final exam papers had “inadvertently burned,†requiring all 150 students to retake it. The new exam, Mr. Carson recalled in the book, was much tougher. All the students but Mr. Carson walked out.
The professor came toward me. With her was a photographer for the Yale Daily News who paused and snapped my picture,†Mr. Carson wrote. “‘A hoax,’ the teacher said. ‘We wanted to see who was the most honest student in the class.’†Mr. Carson wrote that the professor handed him a $10 bill."

Wow. The West Point story will now cause a ripple effect for Carson. This is one of two more stories I read today.
It’s just referred to as “psychology class” in his book “My Life”. Otherwise it’s essentially the same story recounted by ABC news in “Gifted Hands”.
LOL!
Barack Obama is INDEED lucky he isn’t a Republican...
“evidence of a potentially fabricated story”
Two degrees of separation from a fabricated story. In other words, they’re not sure, but hey, let’s print it anyway. Splendid journalism.
When Ben Carson was in middle school, his English teacher assigned an essay: “What is honesty?”
He received an A+ for turning in a blank page with only his name at the top.
So the GOPe and Dem.Socialists are trying to get Carson out of the way. Who’s next?
Such a great man, if you believe all the lies.
Like the one Obama fabricated about having “the most transparent administration in history”?
Lying is a part of pathological disease. I think we can say that anyone who attacked someone with a knife and wanted to strike his mother with a hammer has mental health issues.
It is looking more and more like Carson has made a habit of embellishing his life’s story.
Regardless, his political positions are much closer to Obama’s than to a Conservative. His latest support of TPP just underscores that.
fundraising bump for Dr Carson.
Please keep it up leftymedia. Dr Carson needs the campaign dollars!
Interesting comment from another site...
“He’s running for President. He cannot expect people to just take his word for everything without fact-checking and verifying. I don’t know why this is a surprise to him.”
We don’t need another Yale graduate screwing up the country.
You have got to be kidding. The press has made absolutely no effort to fact check Obama’s story like this.
If he converts to a Muslim Communist Negro, they'll get off his case.
"Nothing to see here - move along!"
If they say he “may have” done something, then it’s not a lie right?
Ummmm, because - Obama?
He might have been expecting the same courtesy that the MSM extended to Obama.
And is extending to Hillary.
I have yet to see anyone give a substantive answer as to why they support Carson. Those who don’t can articulate why and list his policies they don’t agree with.
Apparently, in addition to policy problems, he has made up stories about his past. I thought we were trying to get rid of a pathological liberal liar from the White House, not elect another one.
