There was surprising consensus on today's Morning Joe concerning the Washington Post cartoon that depicted Ted Cruz as an organ grinder and his youngs girls as monkeys. From Mika Brzezinski to Joe Scarborough to Harold Ford, Jr., there was universal condemnation of Ann Telnaes' foul image.
Willie Geist said it best: "people look for moments of bias in the media. Here's one right here. You can't be selectively offended by cartoons. If that had been a Democrat, or God forbid the President of the United States, they would have lit the house on fire. There would have been wall-to-wall coverage on it."

Can you imagine if they had done this to Obama?
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
“Okay, people, move along, there’s nothing to see here...”
But the conclusion is the same. If the name Cruz was replaced with Obama, all hell would have broken loose.
Hispanics in this country should be vehemently pissed at media representing their children as Monkeys.
No........................
Maybe Cruz wasn’t with his daughters. The cartoonist was unrepentant as of last evening. Let her cartoon stand for her public shame.
Freeper posted a graphic with Obama inserted. They need to be posted side by side to libtards who support what WAPO did
I hate to use this language...but....the New York Times, the Washington Post, Barack Hussein Obama, Hillary Clinton and the entire Democrat Party are the lowest form of vermin, humanity on this God’s Earth!!! I have absolutely no use for people like that!!! I am a Donald Trump supporter....but I also love Ted Cruz & his family.
Like just about all “Hispanics” place “Family” at the center of their hearts and, Christians & Jews do exactly the same!!! These disgusting people that seek to destroy family, religion, our great country....should be tossed out into a street garbage can for their hate and bias of freedom!!!
GO Donald Trump!!! Destroy the entire Democrat Party...politically come, November, 2016!!!!
I want Cruz to be president, but on the other hand, I don’t want those two sweet little girls to be put through the lib-media’s meat grinder.
Hopefully, Cruz can make them tough but still sweet.
In addition, the participation of kids and family in a campaign is a complete non issue. They fear a normal functional family versus the Clinton 3 ring circus.
Just imagine if that was Obummer and his two daughters
I have wondered if the Post and the cartoonist could be sued over this. I would love to see Ted Cruz own the WaPo and send the cartoonist back to earning an honest living. How would Trump handle this??
Geist is generally the only brain on that show. I’m sure NBC will knock that out of him eventually.

You ever hear of that woman Lily Tang Williams? She grew up in communist China, she can’t believe what is going on here, how incredibly naive people are. Communists are literally taking over the USA and people are just completely oblivious to it. Think about it: We got a hardcore communist as Mayor of New York city, the President is communist and now the Democrats are running two communists for President: Hillary and Bernie Sanders. That party is a huge threat to this nation and now that they’ve infested the GOP, they are an even bigger threat. Look at California with the communist Jerry Brown running it, giving free healthcare to illegals which is like saying “free healthcare for the entire world courtesy of the US taxpayer” or giving drivers licenses to illegals then saying “anyone who has a license can vote” WTF? It’s communism combined with treason to ensure even more communism is brought forth.
“Can you imagine if they had done this to Obama?”
For some strange reason, Democrats have a fascination about chimps.
Get ready Trump family.
