Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina is hitting back at the Washington Post for claiming in a fact-check that her oft repeated secretary-to-CEO story is a gross oversimplification of the true facts of her career. "Really outrageous display of liberal media bias today," Fiorina spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores told the Washington Examiner's media desk. Asked how the 2016 GOP candidate responded to the Post article, Flores added, "When I told [Fiorina] about it, she laughed for about five seconds." The Post's fact-checker, Michelle Ye Hee Lee, maintained that Fiorina's supposed "rags-to-riches" narrative downplays the reality of the businesswoman's allegedly privileged life, and glosses over details of how her education and family connections put her on the "fast track" to senior management at both Lucent and Hewlett-Packard. For this, the Post awarded Fiorina three "Pinocchios," just one shy of a full flunking grade, for telling people she rose from secretary to CEO.

Yes, for the WP to fact check anyone is ridiculous on its face. Carly is full of gas but we know that already.
Washington Post there are many more out there.
She always says she “lost a child” which bugs me because that adult child had a mother who had actual custody. She was a step mother.
If Hillary Clinton and Brian Williams can jump off a helicopter in a hail of bullets in Bosnia, the least the Washington post could to is allow Carly Fiorina to go from rags to riches.
She is not worthy to be the first woman president.
What bugs me is the possibility that she weighed the responsibility for a special needs child to her upcoming career plans, and chose the latter.
To be fair, I don’t recall WaPo leading a charge to fact-check Wendy Davis’s similar, and much more dubious claim.
She is not worthy to be the first woman president.
“What bugs me is the possibility that she weighed the responsibility for a special needs child to her upcoming career plans, and chose the latter.”
That statement really strikes home to me for my wife and son had myotonic dystrophy and for 35 years I never left her side nor his until she died and he became an invalid and had to go to a nursing home.
Why did I do this? The answer is very simple...when I got married I seriously took the oath “to have and to hold until death do you part.” An oath that is “outdated” today.
Shame on the bitch for she abandoned her husband and stepchild who needed her support, love and help.
Kudos to you. Not every last person is made of the ‘right stuff.’
We are currently observing a family member who is doing her best with an ill husband, and she simply cannot do much of the ‘hard stuff.’
Thankfully, there’s a few family members giving her a hand.
“What bugs me is the possibility that she weighed the responsibility for a special needs child to her upcoming career plans, and chose the latter.”
Can you please tell me what this is in reference to?
Yes I do wonder why she had no child of her own but the step daughter she “lost to drugs” was, I believe 29. She never had custody of the girl but acts as if.
Seems to me she embellishes stories to aggrandize herself or for the purpose of garnering sympathy.
Perhaps my choice of words was confusing.
I am referring to the troubled step daughter who suddenly ‘died’.
Part of her marketing mentality.
I watched as a group of 'marketers' ruined the organization I was working for. They were all just like her. Like a parasite they invaded the host, then reproduced (hired more 'assistants').
They demanded new larger offices, and golden parachutes.
They threw out everything that 'identified the organization (for over 100 years) in their (MAJOR AND ONLY) plan to RE-BRAND.
I.E. The same thing as Obama's HOPE and CHANGE. CHANGE everything in the HOPE that it will SELL. Doesn't matter whether it works or not. When it doesn't work, they take their parachute and bail out.
I think the Washington Post “fact-checked” Fiorina. She is being called out by MANY.
Yes she had a good family who supported her. But she achieved on her own. Unlike the Donald who inherited his father’s company for example.
Apparently, you have fallen for Fiorina’s lies. That’s your choice, just like it’s my choice to believe that the WaPo article has merit.
Sounds like a wonderful insurance company I used to work for. Even the very recognizable company logo was changed to meaningless shape.
I’ve experienced the destruction of these types of people.
