While the media is in a frenzy to verify stories Dr. Ben Carson has told about his childhood along with statements made in his book or even about the pyramids, Carson claimed that the media was not as inquisitive about Obama’s past:
.@RealBenCarson: The media did not vet @POTUS as much as me https://t.co/QUs6UKSJCD @CarsonOnCNN https://t.co/2BG9I5DaG4
— CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) November 6, 2015
CNN political reporter Sara Murray basically told Carson that if he can’t take the heat, get out of the race for the nomination:
It's amazing how offended candidates like @RealBenCarson are by the presidential vetting process. Welcome to the big leagues.
— Sara Murray (@SaraMurray) November 6, 2015
Murray responded to those who pointed out the media’s very selective vetting process:
@SaraMurray @TheRickWilson What's truly amazing is how far off the rails the "vetting process" has gone.
— David Hammond (@ReggieMoto) November 6, 2015
@ReggieMoto @TheRickWilson the idea that the media shouldn't try to corroborate a story Carson has publicized is beyond ridiculous.

It was just this past July that CNN’s Dana Bash said Fox News’ Major Garrett was “disrespectful” to Obama by daring to ask why the release of hostages in Iran weren’t included as part of the nuclear deal.
@SaraMurray @CarlToddHand @RealBenCarson Hey Sara, I guessed I missed the vetting of Obama by your biased "news" organization, still waiting

@apprazer54 I guess you must have! Obama's book was scrutinized, hundreds of articles were done on his childhood + Qs about his birthplace

What pro-Obama bias?
@SaraMurray @RealBenCarson Give me a break. The media never vetted Obama and attacked anyone who did. Now they refuse to investigate Hillary

Hi @SaraMurray honest question: Are you aware of Hillary's campaign chair John Podesta's views on UFO's? pic.twitter.com/Uxh4ywvIb9
— Jason (@jasonelevation) November 6, 2015
@SaraMurray let me know when you are going to vet Obama or Hillary like you are going to go after Carson

Don’t hold your breath.
