Republican candidates are spending a lot of time attacking the not at all liberal rags the Wall Street Journal, CNBC and Politico.

Ben Carson’s campaign manager tried to pour more cold water on Politico Monday afternoon but ended up incorrectly accusing the news outlet of retracting its report on the Republican presidential frontrunner’s murky history with West Point.

Most media outlets are responding to these protests against their campaign coverage instead of pointing out the Republican candidates disqualifying policy positions. This is a strategy that benefits every Republican candidate during the primary season and the likely Republican voter (the base) loves the “conservative patriot & voters versus the lying awful evil liberal media” framing.
