Seems that Carson should have a beef with CNN, FOX and others, since THEY were the ones pushing the story that his schedule had changed.

Excellent observation and apparently proof of Cruz’s shenanigans. Too bad so many here don’t have a clue.

"Cruz was doing this from 5pm on down, apparently, after Carson had already denied this claim."

By the standards you apply routinely to Cruz, your statement above is a lie:

 

This image indicates Cruz did NOT say Carson had dropped out, as you said he did. This image shows Cruz citing what CNN had reported, which is apparently factual unless you can prove otherwise. What Cruz did with it in asking his people to use CNN's report to urge Carson supporters to support him is therefore within bounds.

It may be that Cruz' people were saying that Carson had dropped out, but that sounds like the kind of wishful thinking on their part that led you to misinterpret Cruz' message above, the kind of desperate rumor that is very hard for a candidate to control or contain, just as we see you doing here. So unless you can prove Cruz knew CNN made no such report, you don't have any basis for your claim.

You understand that the tweet didn’t come from Ted Cruz, right?

Neither Cruz, nor his campaign, tweeted that. Someone with a handful of followers tweeted that.

Regardless, the original report came from CNN. That’s a screenshot of CNN, right?

So where did that Tweet come from? I found this Twitter account, with fewer than 4,000 followers:

https://twitter.com/TedCruzPOTUS

Is that the account that supposedly tweeted out this CNN screenshot?
