Chuck Todd: Ben Carson’s ‘Personal Story’ Hurt Because Politicians Lie

Video cross-posted here at NewsBusters. On Sunday’s Today, Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd did his best to play up the alleged damage Ben Carson has done to his presidential ambitions after questions arose regarding his personal biography. The NBC News Political Director stressed that because “we're conditioned to assume regular politicians embellish things” questions over Carson’s biography could ruin his image “because his candidacy is built on his personal story, his personal success, his honest and trustworthiness.”
