Ben Carson Just Responded To Media Attacks With 4 Perfect Images That Say It All

A GOP front-runner, Ben Carson has been under the spotlight lately. Having experienced what he considers to be unfair criticism, Carson is firing back.

It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words; so instead of fighting a verbal battle with the media, Carson decided to let a few carefully crafted graphics send a message to the media and to voters.

According to TheBlaze, Carson posted several images on Facebook. In a CNN-style image, the headline reads, “In the Fall of 1962, Ben Carson checked out a library book and returned it two days late.”

In a HUFFINGTON POST style image, the headline states, “BREAKING NEWS latest: In college, Ben Carson threw away a glass bottle in the ‘paper products only’ receptacle.”

The last one was for an “MSNBC Urgent Update Exclusive Interview.” The headline is, “A witness reported seeing Ben Carson putting an ‘X’ in the box when the instructions clearly said ‘check one’.”

The messages imply that the news agencies are digging up non-stories in an attempt to find some sort of scandal that would seem to contradict Carson’s good guy image. Western Journalism recently reported that POLITICO questioned Carson’s credibility when he stated that he had been offered a scholarship to West Point. The Carson campaign responded, and POLITICO changed the title to their story as a result.

CNN even ran a story reporting that they had tried to locate two individuals Carson described in his autobiography. Carson’s book detailed that he had a problem with anger and rage as a youngster, and that he hit one kid in the head with a lock and attempted to stab another. Western Journalism reported that Carson called CNN’s story all “lies” and said that the media was attempting to “distract” voters from the real issues the country faces.

Carson summed up his frustration with the media at Tuesday’s GOP debate when he said, “I have no problem with being vetted…What I do have a problem with is being lied about.”
