It’s been three days since Politico was busted for its bogus hit piece on Ben Carson. Three. Days.
You’d think that’d be enough time for the rest of the media to get their act together and put that embarrassing smear campaign to bed. But apparently The New York Times was just getting started:
Read my column, "#BenCarson and the Truth," and let me know what you think. https://t.co/GPWSUQffVS pic.twitter.com/wbUM4dTaAx

@JGreenDC @redsteeze @nytopinion @daveweigel "Let this through"? You're acting like it was an accident.

We’ve reached a point in political coverage where the truth straight-up just doesn’t matter anymore.
Or, put another way: Charles Blow lectures about the truth while repeating a falsehood. https://t.co/lXGcn1U19W

Blow has no interest in telling the truth — and the Times has no interest in holding him accountable for his shameful lies.
@daveweigel It's Charles Blow. No one reads/fact-checks him.

This is 100 percent false. A fabrication that @nytopinion didn't care to check. (h/t @JGreenDC) pic.twitter.com/7AoFklZgmi

So you know what? If the Times won’t take him to task, we will.

LOL even after it was disproven repeatedly. NYT is a joke. https://t.co/7FDKP4ug5I

@daveweigel I'm SHOCKED that Charles Blow could write something that's intellectually dishonest.

It's almost like @CharlesMBlow has a serious problem with telling the truth… https://t.co/f7Z5HM4A6Z

@daveweigel @MarlonBateman Blow is about as dishonest as possible.

Now that’s the truth.
