Vetting works both ways, or not at all.
What we have for the last thirty years, is a press corps that seems to take orders from the DNC, and then do everything in their power to obey. Those press corps members also engage in flat out lies to damage conservatives and pump up progressives, which is why so few people actually trust them anymore.
My distrust of Republicans has nothing to do with the news cycle and everything to do with them not adhering to conservative values.

It was a hit piece. And you're right; I'm not sure what Politico changed in the body of the story, but they removed the word "Fabricated" from the headline. Interesting.

To his credit, Carson has faced this head on, and addressed it in multiple venues, including a press conference.

The Daily Caller addresses his campaign response pretty well:

Some may say that this "vetting" is necessary. Yes, sometimes. But making a federal case about one word - "scholarship" - in a book written 25 years ago, about his recollections from the age if 17, is over-the-top "gotcha" journalism.

But I'm sure Politico is going to be running a piece soon about how young, aggressive attorney Hillary Rodham was fired from the staff of the Watergate committee.

And that's the hypocrisy of the left media.

So long as the Judicial and Legislative branches allow the Executive to continue unabated nothing will change unless it is to get worse.

A lawless, imperial President is the single greatest threat foreseen by the Founders and is specifically why we have separation of powers, and the Bill of Rights.

Since Congress has repeatedly abdicated their responsibility (most recently with the budget, Iran and pacific trade deals) it would be insanity to expect anything different from them.

As for the Supremes, they are part of the problem at this point having given up on any semblance of evaluating against the Constitution and instead choosing to continue to legislate from the bench.  The Roberts Court will go down in history as extremely damaging.

We are witnessing the slow death of the shining city on a hill, not as we feared from the outside, but from the inside exactly as Khruschev threatened.

^^^^^^^This!  Since the Dems have the mainstream media on their side, as well as government, and education they can get away with illegal laws, and violating the Constitution at will with immigration, Obamacare, use of government agencies to penalize conservatives, etc.  If the Republican do any of this stuff, the media would be howling, and create public outcries, and thus political pressure.  The Dems don't have to worry about that.  Double standard, and hypocricy anyone?

Yep. Remember, it's the REPUBLICANS wasting "millions" of dollars investigating Hillary's lies on Benghazi, even though it was Hillary's lack of candor, obstruction of Justice, hiding or destroying evidence, and outright lies that caused the need for hearings in the first place.

The locker room part is strange enough.  But let's go back one more step.  How is it possible to want to be another gender?  No one loves boobs more than me, but I want them on a woman, not myself.

At least the candidates called out the "moderators" for their antics.

Agreed. There has got to be another way to do this.

I heard on the radio this AM (haven't tried to confirm the story) that Carson's team was talking to Trump's team and a few others about taking these debates out of the RNC's hands and picking their own moderators and ground rules. That sounds like a good plan to me.
I think the RNC is the root of the problem.  They are getting further and further from getting down to the busines of what Republicans (and all people of this country) really want and need.

I'm suspecting the same thing.

With Reince Priebus being from Wisconsin, we hear him from time to time on local talk radio. I distinctly recall a discussion he had last spring with a host where he said that they are taking charge of the debates, and will not allow the type of things that happened in the 2012 debates with things like the "War in Women" BS that became the story line of 2012.

And now it's déjà vu all over again. 

So it was hard for me to take Priebus seriously when he Tweeted how upset he was with the CNBC panel after the debate.

Lots of chicken and turkey plants here in N GA. Both Karen and I find getting behind the trucks full of birds on their last ride quite depressing and disgusting.

We live near a chicken processing plant, foul odors ride the winds on NW days.

You mean fowl odors?

I'm tired of everything Bruce Jenner. He's such a media whore that the only way to keep his name relevant and in the news was to become a zie.

It's a play for dollar$, nothing more. Freak.

I think, scientifically, the people that are getting dumber by high Co2 levels are those that believe the science is settled, and the debate is over.

Whenever someone pushes the government line on anything that limits personal liberty, you know you are being conned. That's why so many progressives wet their pants every time a new "scientific" finding is introduced. They LOVE anything that limits personal liberty, freedom to make one's own decisions on anything except abortion, and progressives seem to be obsessed with having someone to tell them what to do, think, and say.
