BuzzFeed Assigns 3 Staffers to Collect Oppo on Ted Cruz’s Dad (Opposition research)
Breitbart's Big Journalism ^ | March 24, 2015 | Dan Riehl

Posted on 03/27/2015 4:43:43 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

As Ted Cruz announced his 2016 presidential campaign Monday, BuzzFeed had three reporters scour the records for everything and anything they could find to throw at Cruz—that is, Rafael Cruz, Ted’s father.

BuzzFeed reporters Ilan Ben-Meir, Andrew Kaczynski, and Megan Apper just can’t seem to get enough of the Texas senator’s dad. Let’s just skip this bit of actual history, although they felt compelled to at least give it a passing nod: “The story of Rafael Cruz — growing up in Cuba, joining a revolution to overthrow Batista at age 17, jailed and tortured, and fleeing to the United States — has been an integral part of the Texas senator’s political story.” Let’s get to the real story, shall we?

Unfortunately, BuzzFeed never really does. Why do that when a simple, silly, and insanely long list will do?(continued)

What they can't find, they'll invent.

And the people that Rush charitably calls "low information" types will soak it up like a sponge in a sewer.

Yeah, while their at it see if they can find Obama’s college transcripts and Hillary’s Rose Law Firm records.

He is a Christian pastor, isn’t that all they need to know?

“They will have to invent lies...”

***

I think they already have. Heard a story today that claimed Mr. Cruz had said something to the effect that illegals should be interred in prison camps.

So where’s the audio?

I can’t wait to see what else they cook up.

Batista was Dick-tator, much like Bammy.

Let’s hope it works as well as BHOs attempt to derail Netanyahu’s election.

Odd really, 3 staffers were never sent to study Obama’s dad.

Whomever that is.

One wonders what Ben-Meir, Kaczynski, and Apper could turn up on the None if they dug into his past. Of course, they won’t since they regard him as deity.

“BuzzFeed reporters Ilan Ben-Meir, Andrew Kaczynski, and Megan Apper just can’t seem to get enough of the Texas senator’s dad.”

We don’t have American news organizations and reporters that report unbiased truth which is what most want. Instead we have hatchet men for those who own the media. Truth is now irrelevant.

I have no problem with the news media going after all corrupt candidates. But instead they pick and choose and they go after only their own side, instead of all. The media is corrupted and owned and is not reporting objectively for American interests.

His grandpa was seen urinating IN HIS OWN BACKYARD by a nosy neighbor!!!

they have a lot of extra time since there is nothing to investigate with Hillary or Obama.

Pray America is waking
