Yes, other than their headline, where they said Carson admitted fabricating the West Point offer. Which they got 100% wrong, and changed their headline. But other than what was stated in the headline, they got most of it right.

"if you're going to run for president don't talk about trying to hit your mom with a hammer"

But apparently lying about coming under sniper fire, when in reality you were being greeted by smiling children, says nothing about one's ability to be POTUS. Nor does blaming the GOP when your husband gets caught with his pants around his ankles and lies about it. Why is that so different from Carson's lie, exactly?
