New Hampshire Mom: Senator Ted Cruz Did Not 'Terrify' My 3-Year-Old Daughter
People Magazine ^ | March 16, 2015 | Sandra Sobieraj Westfall

Video of 3-year-old Julia Trant questioning, in a tremulous-sounding little-girl voice, Senator Ted Cruz's assertion that "the world is on fire" caught fire itself over the weekend. But the headlines were all wrong, her mother tells PEOPLE.

"The world is on fire?" asked Julia.

"The world is on fire, yes," the Republican from Texas told the preschooler. "Your world is on fire." Might be the stuff of nightmares to some little ones – especially coming from someone so official – but "Julia was actually quite happy" at Cruz's political appearance Sunday before New Hampshire's Strafford County GOP, Michelle Trant tells PEOPLE.

"There was nothing scary that happened. I'm just so upset the way this has gone down."(continued)

I don't see a thing wrong with any of the articles at the links you posted. All factual and not even close to a hit piece on Cruz. Except possibly the Daily Mail using the word 'horror'.

How are they media malpractice?

They really must teach lying in journalism school. No way these “journalists” could get that good without professors helping them to learn the craft.

People Magazine (Time Inc) is rebutting liberal falsehoods about Cruz?

Are we now in some alternate universe?

This is just the beginning for conservative contenders.

They will not be tolerated in the national press.

Conservatives can presume they will be covered negatively, as losing buffoons, or, Not. At. All.

But here we see even People magazine is rebutting the falsehood, so the journ-0-lists may have jumped the shark on this one.

Ms Trent, I believe your child could do better as President now than the Golfer in Chief. Keep her out if public schools, ma’am.

Thx, nascarnation. Actually, I didn’t even read this stupid article.

To be honest, my thinking is that kids and puppies do not belong in these venues in the first place. These poor candidates have a tough enough time as it is and so much rides on the performance, the message and the impression they have to make to drag kids along at risk of creating a distraction.

This is a perfect example of the pain in the neck distraction.

Meanwhile the Democrats are teaching 5th graders about anal sex and homosexuality.
Not a peep in defiance over that from the media.
