In a fact-filled column for The Federalist, R.J. Lehmann points out that The New York Times has virtually eliminated any reference to GOP presidential candidate and renowned doctor Ben Carson as Dr. Ben Carson, while continually referring to Vice –President Joe Biden’s wife Jill, who holds a doctorate in education, as Dr.Jill Biden.
Despite Carson’s legendary career as a neurosurgeon, including his successful separation of Siamese twins, through October 26, 2015, Carson was mentioned in the Times 373 times, with only 32 instances where the first mention of him in the piece called him “Dr,” and only 13 occurrences on second reference.
