Retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson says CNN and other liberal media outlets are out to badger him during interviews so that voters won't consider him a serious presidential candidate.
"They don't want people to take me seriously. They're very afraid of my message getting out there because it flies directly in the face of the secular progressive movement," Carson said Monday on Newsmax TV.
"I am a huge threat to them and therefore if they can find a kink in the armor and they can concentrate on that, they can get you off of the things that are so important to our nation."
On Sunday, Carson got into a testy exchange with CNN's Jim Acosta on the network's "State of the Nation," program as he spoke about the use of military drone strikes along the U.S.-Mexico border to destroy empty caves used by drug smugglers and those bringing in illegal immigrants.
He called CNN's coverage of his remarks "certainly problematic," but said the "liberal media in general" was to blame for twisting his words.
"When I made my initial comments about drones and all the media was there, I said some of you, some of the left wing of you, will take these comments and try to make people think that I want to kill people with drone strikes. I do not want to do that. But you will say that anyway, and they went out and did it," Carson said.

ReplyDeleteDr. Carson, you've stepped out and stated your mind and beliefs. I applaud and give you congratulations for being honest and forthright, both rarities in presidential hopefuls.
ReplyDeletethe liberal media has had control through many elections. Their young were groomed thinking they were the elite and entitled. Now is the time to rein them in. Do they still teach that journalism is supposed to be objective? We need to educate the voters to be on the lookout for bias in the way questions are being asked.
