The media is obviously targeting Dr. Carson and trying to destroy him.
The media are the ones who are lying.
Dr. Carson never said he was admitted to West Point or that he formally applied. He said he was told that based on his grades and his position in the ROTC he could have been admitted and could have gotten a scholarship.
Dr. Carson is very intelligent. It is almost certain that as an African American, a good student and an officer in the ROTC he could have gotten admitted to West Point.
I am sick of the MSM constantly lying.
This is a lie. Politico lied. Let’s stop promoting their lie.
Politico are vermin.
Good time for the Republicans to take on their adversaries as they’ve started to with debate moderators: call them out on bias & lies, and start making arrangements to talk ONLY to objective journalists.
These creeps should listen to Rush. West Point grad said it would have looked like a scholarship to Carson since fully paid with stipend.
Fortune = Steps in it! lol
When you say african american, do you mean a black?
Nope.

Ben Carson just RESPONDED to a serious lie.
there is no such thing as a scholarship to west point. not only is tuition free, if you manage to get nominated and admitted, they pay you to attend.
Immediately after Carson’s poll numbers were up, the media chose to pull out the attack stories that they had been saving for just such a moment.
The leftist media has already amassed a stockpile of dirt on every Republican candidate. They go back in the person’s life to find someone who will give them something they can use.
Never fails. They do this every time.
Meanwhile, they lie and cover up information about democrats.
The media bots need to burn in hell. May they be damned.
I say what Politico and Fortune are doing here is yet another high-tech lynching of an “uppity black man”, and should be responded to as such.
The media makes up one story, and then later comes around and attributes it to Ben and “debunks” it.
GRR!
It should be enough to make Ben and Trump great friends, however the race shakes out for the nomination. Trump is the great bulldog siccing the media right now. We probably couldn’t have predicted any of these characters, or would have predicted a group of nothing but milquetoasts a la Jeb picking pettily at one another and taking huge offense at it.
If I may be sardonic, this current drama looks a lot less like it’s about men than it looks like it’s about God.
Unfortunate that many here believed what the media wrote so desperate for their guy to win.
Can this be called the fog of politics.
Looks like Ben is getting the Herman Cain treatment.
As a Cruz supporter I say, pray for Ben Carson.
I am not a big Carson Fan but this one is silly. On a scale of 1 to 10 considering Hillary’s outright lies on what went on in Benghazi, her dodging snipers in Kosovo, and etc., etc, etc... Hillary gets an 11 and Carson gets a .5. For a surgeon he actually seems to be very humble.
Or (to fit the sardonic mood) you’d almost THINK that...
Another publication soils its britches.
My, oh my...
Imagine this SAME media - looking this thoroughly into candidate OBAMAS past back in ‘07 and ‘08...
WHO CARES????? Can we focus on something substantive for a change, instead of parsing every single Republican utternace for some shadow of impropriety? You have Bill Clinton, who was a provable liar, and Barack Obama, who can’t move his lips without lying, and Hillary, who ... well, who’s Hillary. And somehow they manage to escape this micro-scrutiny. Can we leave the witch hunt behind and look at some ISSUES???
