Politico has ‘stealth edited’ their headline to back off the fabrication claim, but it’s problematic.

As we noted earlier, Carson said he received an offer from Gen. Westmoreland, which for most normal people would be seen as a ticket into the school if you so wanted. But because he wanted to go to medical school, he never applied and was never accepted. So he never applied to begin with, and he said that from the beginning. Politico leaves the headline out there as though it’s a refutation of his story, which it isn’t.

While one might question Carson’s use of the word ‘scholarship’ as not really being accurate, it seems more poor word choice than false. If the story about Westmoreland is true that would have been the functional equivalent.
