So CNN runs with a story they “forgot” to source...one that is EASY to check...after Carson went home to go get some clothes for a few days. Why did they run with a story without checking it? Whenever it is negative news about Democrats they have to have 15 independent sources and permission from the DNC before they run it.

CNN claims the story came from the Carson campaign.

CNN never said that Carson was dropping out of the race, only that his actions suggested that.

The Cruz people are the ones who should have confirmed the report which, as you say, would have been easy.

Why didn’t they?

Is it that they trusted an MSM news outlet, that has a reputation in the conservative community for biased reporting?

Or was it that they wanted the speculation about Carson to be true, and that clouded their judgement?

Someone in the carson camp DID tell them.

Carson has not disputed that.
