Some people are claiming that the following screenshot is of an email from someone at the Cruz campaign. To my eye, it looks like a poorly Photoshopped hoax. Note the size/color of the font in the name "Don," the white blocks that appear to be where someone cleared area on the image, and the oddly cropped JPG artifacts around the letters.
What say you? Is this a real screenshot of a real email from someone at the Cruz campaign? Or is it a fake?
Look we can sugar coat it to the 10th power but the truth is the son of the preacher man sent out shaming letters and then did dirty trix on Carson. No other GOP candidate was accused of anything. Sad.
Make restitution for sharing a story that was on the news? The Cruz campaign did not give the story to CNN, Carson did. The Cruz campaign did not get the story wrong, CNN did. The only thing the Cruz campaign did was share the story with caucus voters. If they had known the story was false at the time, then maybe restitution would be appropriate. But if anyone would owe the Carson camp restitution, it would be CNN for broadcasting false information - not the Cruz campaign for sharing information they believed to be true.

One can download the CNN video section here...

Requires FB login (but I was able to download it)... Sure sounded like CNN was saying Carson was about to quit.
What you are seeing are the compression artifacts from an over-compressed JPEG image. If you have black next to white, like this text, and you super compress the file size, areas where the two extremes touch will “average” and become a shade of gray. You often see this as a “noisy halo” effect around items in photos.
Places far enough from the lines of text remain white. Likely what you are seeing is a compressed pic that was copied and compressed again.
I was at a caucus last night. Ted Cruz spoke at my caucus last night. He said nothing about this, and I heard nothing about this until I got home later and saw it here on FR. And I was at my caucus for over 2 hours - long after most had left.
Who is Spence Rogers .. does anybody know who he is .. and where did he last work ..??
The line about “an announcement” .. I never saw any information regarding some announcement.
So, if Spence made that part up .. then maybe he needs to be removed from email duty.
And the “Don” font size and color are the same as the rest of the document?
You know what? If Trump had sent out shaming letters and then the dirty trix email on Carson everyone would be screaming for his head on a platter. But Cruz being the son of the preacher man gets a pass. Whats wrong with that picture.?
Ted produced ammunition for Trump, exactly what I said would happen;
Donald Trump Blasts ‘Dishonest’ Ted Cruz at New Hampshire Rally (2-2-16)

The problem is that other than the people who already support him, most people are already tuning out Trump when he goes on his tirades attacking people.
Equivocation. When Ted pulls nasty hack moves like he did this week and caucus night it’s ok??
What? You can’t change the font size in your e-mail program? I can.
