Why….oh why…..do TV, radio, print, internet anchors/reporters/hosts, or whatever they are, seem to lurch at every opportunity to turn a statement made by a guest into something that it clearly was not? And, it seems to be mostly the left wingers or closet left winger sympathizers who do it. Case in point. Thursday, Doctor Ben Carson was a guest on a CNN show hosted by John Berman and Kate Bolduan. Carson was asked if Trump’s campaign manager (who is facing a misdemeanor charge) should still be running the show. Berman said a lot of people think that incident is a reason to “demonize” him. Carson responded, quote, “You’ve been charged with something too, maybe with a misdemeanor or something. It doesn’t mean that you’re an evil, horrible person.” Doctor Carson did not….repeat….DID NOT…….mean you, YOU, Berman, have been charged with a misdemeanor. Doctor Carson clearly meant, you, anybody, somebody, but not you Berman. But Berman quickly replied, “I actually haven’t, as far as I know.” Berman, you are such an idiot. Berman jumped at the opportunity to make Carson’s statement something that it wasn’t and clearly not intended to be. Doctor Carson was merely hypothecating that if…..IF……IF…… Berman, or anyone, someone, had been charged with a misdemeanor, that would be no reason to demonize him. That’s all Doctor Carson meant. He did not….repeat….DID NOT accuse or suggest or state as a matter-of-fact, that Berman had actually been charged with a misdemeanor. And Berman is apparently so eager to dish dirt on any Republican that he is running with his misrepresentation of what Doctor Carson was attempting to point out. And what’s worse, maybe, is that some idiot at AOL Online did this headline…………”BEN CARSON SUGGESTS CNN ANCHOR HAS CRIMINAL BACKGROUND”. Doctor Carson did not suggest any such thing. That headline is a lie. A serious violation of professional journalistic ethics. Oh what the hell. It’s just “politics”. But it ain’t “just politics”. It’s a very serious escalation of how low politicians and TV/radio/print/internet people will stoop. And there doesn’t seem to be anything that we real Americans can do to stop it. We know it’s wrong. “They” know it’s wrong. But “they”
continue to do it. And “they” get away with it. Sad. The decline of America.
