[See NewsBusters for more.] At the Republican presidential debate on Tuesday, Ben Carson called out journalists “misinterpreting” his record. The candidate demanded, “We should vet all candidates. I have no problem with being vetted.” He added, “What I do have a problem with is being lied about and then putting that out there as truth.”  Contrasting media coverage, Carson highlighted Hillary Clinton’s Benghazi testimony: “When I look at somebody like Hillary Clinton, who sits there and tells her daughter and a government official that ‘no, this was a terrorist attack and then tells everybody else that it was a video.' Where I came from, they call that a lie."
