Report: Ben Carson Does Not Like The Media

Ben Carson

Presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson has found himself in the midst of a press frenzy recently, as his remarks about Muslims, guns and the Holocaust are taken through the media wringer.

Carson, in turn, has blamed the press for taking his comments out of context, a favorite tactic among, well, nearly every politician ever, reports Hadas Gold at Politico.
The retired neurosurgeon, at a speech and question and answer session at the National Press Club headquarters on Friday (note the irony of location) repeatedly took shots at the national media, which he said, "don't like" him because he's "not politically correct."
