Paul, does it seem likely to you that Politico lied about getting an admission of guilt from Carson's campaign? As soon as Casron asked them to prove their claim, they withdrew their statement. Politico is no longer saying that the Carson campaign admitted to lying.
What do you think happened there? Something other than yellow journalism?
Or what CNN did? Just because the few people CNN interviewed from his chilhood couldn't recall a violent temper, does that give CNN the right to claim that Carson lied about it? Isn't it responsible journalism to conclude that not every single person he ever met, will have identical recollections of him, 50 years later?
I can say "I loved fishing when I was in high school". If you pick 1 kid from my class, and ask him, he might say "I remember Jim, I don't recall him saying anything about fishing". Does that mean I lied? Or does it mean what we all know is true, that not everyone will recall identical details, decades later? Do you see how crazy that is? That's what CNN did to the man. That's not yellow journalism?
