With the media hellbent on tainting Ben Carson’s life story, the RNC Chair, Reince Priebus, is calling out the double standard.
Priebus: This is a totally crazy obsession over incredible detail from 30 and 40 years ago…The fact is, you know, we kind of wish the media would be just as obsessed or half obsessed with Hillary Clinton’s lies of many years and real relevant things…
Lauer: Well, except that Dr. Carson…
Priebus:…like people who have died in Benghazi and emails and everything else.
A defensive Matt Lauer tried to suggest the media questions both sides equally, but Priebus wasn’t having it.
Yeah, but the difference is that the media is actually, you know – they do have an actual vendetta or at least an agenda against some of these candidates. In regard to Hillary Clinton, the media sort of, yeah, the cover it, but they cover it with a laugh and a wink and a nod…It’s a tone of, “This is silly, let’s move on.”
Whereas with the Republicans it’s, “Hey, can you believe that, you know, 40 years ago this happened or that, hey, you know, this credit card over here.” I mean, those are things that might be interesting for, you know, a question, but not an obsession.
Does the mainstream media have a vendetta? Do they equally vet both sides? Share and comment below.
