Ummm no. That presumes I've only seen Politico's article and forming an opinion based on that alone. The issues with Ben Carson's story are being widely covered in multiple media outlets. Obviously, Politico leans left. The Federalist (cited above) leans right. And I believe the initial investigation that uncovered the inconsistencies was done by CNN (left leaning again). Fox News is reporting about it (to the right), and so on.
It is almost impossible in today's environment to find any agreement on which source, or combination of sources, is considered legitimate. That is my frustration. Not that there are multiple sources and embedded biases, but that people will only consider 'their' source as the one true legitimate source of news and information, whether left or right.
But regardless of that, by seeking the Republican nomination for President, Ben Carson should expect to be heavily scrutinized. And he should quit whining about it.
