The website Politico thought it caught the retired neurosurgeon red-handed, but others think the Arlington, Va., based publication rushed to judgment.

Kyle Cheney of Politico wrote that the Carson campaign “admitted that a central point in his inspirational personal story was fabricated: his application and acceptance into the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.” Cheney fingered Carson’s book Gifted Hands as evidence of the GOP front-runner’s misdeeds.

But that story seemed to unravel soon after it came out, as other journalists began to point out that the book does not make any mention of Carson having applied to West Point, nor being accepted into the institution.......

...Politico went for a hit and came up short. In the end, they stepped on a rake. Carson, whose campaign is largely built around bashing the media as biased attack machines for the left, will emerge not only unscathed, but stronger.

I’ve been critical-harshly so-of Ben Carson’s campaign for the Presidency. But bullcrap is bullcrap, and this Politico story purporting to prove that Ben Carson’s campaign admitted to “fabricating” a story about his admission to West Point is absolute bullcrap. It definitely exposes one error on Ben Carson’s point in his retelling of an alleged conversation with General William Westmoreland-but Politico’s errors in its reporting are far more egregious, inexcusable, and intentional than anything they have uncovered with respect to Carson so far....

Article served its purpose. It exposed Trump.

Trump is done. This won’t go away. Add tomorrow nights planned debacle on SNL and by mid week Trump’s numbers will drop through the floor. Add in Rubio’s lovefest with the establishment, This has Karl Rove written all over it.

Remember this doofus?

"It's hard to imagine how the Politico's Kyle Cheney could have written up his Thursday story about the government's dissatisfaction with soon to be (but not yet) former prime HealthCare.gov contractor CGI with a straight face. But it appears that he did.

The opening sentence of Cheney's report is an absolute howler. When you read it after the jump, keep in mind that the firm worked on HealthCare.gov for well over a year before its October 1 debut, and that it was obvious to everyone within hours of its launch that the web site's construction had been horribly botched. So guess when the government wants us to believe it finally figured out that CGI wasn't up to its assigned tasks?....

Kyle Cheney

Kyle Cheney is a reporter for POLITICO's Campaign Pro.

Cheney came to POLITICO in June 2012 to cover health care and spent two years covering the implementation of the Affordable Care Act and its political implications – from the Supreme Court decision upholding the law to the rollout of HealthCare.gov and the coverage gains that ensued. He came to POLITICO after five years reporting on Massachusetts government and politics for the State House News Service, an independent wire service.

Coverage, which appeared daily in The Boston Globe, Boston Herald and others, included the implementation of a near-universal health care law; the indictment, trial and conviction of the state’s third felonious House speaker in a row; the rise and reelection of Gov. Deval Patrick; and all matters of public policy.

Cheney, a New York native and unabashed Yankees fan, graduated from Boston University in 2007 with a journalism degree after a semester as editor of BU's student paper, The Daily Free Press.

The creeps already did their damage. It can’t be undone, and they know it.
