Manchester, New Hampshire (CNN)
Sen. Ted Cruz knowingly misstated CNN's reporting during Saturday's Republican primary debate, despite the fact that CNN's reporting was correct all along.
Cruz blamed CNN for a message his campaign sent to supporters the night of the Iowa caucuses suggesting Carson was going to suspend his campaign.
"My political team saw CNN's report breaking news and they forwarded that news to our volunteers, it was being covered on live television," Cruz said during the debate.
Cruz also claimed CNN had inaccurately reported that Carson was suspending his campaign "from 6:30 p.m. to 9:15," and "didn't correct that story until 9:15 that night."
That is false. CNN never reported that Carson was suspending his campaign and never issued a correction, because there was no need to do so.
In a statement out Saturday night, CNN responded, "What Senator Cruz said tonight in the debate is categorically false. CNN never corrected its reporting because CNN never had anything to correct. The Cruz campaign's actions the night of the Iowa caucuses had nothing to do with CNN's reporting. The fact that Senator Cruz continues to knowingly mislead the voters about this is astonishing."...

this again, just d-mn.
And in other news, today the Clinton campaign absolved Hillary Clinton of any wrong doing in either Benghazi, email or whatever she has been accused of being guilty of.

CYA at CNN
Glenn Beck played the clips of the reporter, she lied her ass off.
It's CNN's rebuttal to Cruz's debate comments on Saturday night.
It's never been posted on Free Republic:
"Updated 3:16 PM ET, Sun February 7, 2016"
So the option is to believe either CNN or Glen Beck?
That’s a coin flip.....

same crap about Cruz cheating or whatever in IA.
it is the same issue of which there have been dozens of posts.
“Trumpers are seemingly so full of hate they’ll believe CNN’s version over Cruz”
It is not something that requires belief, all one has to do is notice the time lines which these days are stamped on the message.
That’s the truth.
CNN forgot I guess the original tweet, has been saved by many, as well as Carson’s statement it started with CNN.
Wow CNN has telepaths the know what some one else knows at the time they know it.. maybe they have tailwind helping them.
Glenn & Stuey are yukking it up, all the way to the bank.
Methinks the network doth protest too much.
Should this be in breaking news? Or maybe just a BREAKING to thread title.
What prevented Cruz from making a thirty second call to the Carson camp to inquire as to whether he had chosen that particularly strange moment to suddenly drop out of the race?
It's a direct response from CNN to Cruz's debate comments on the matter:
CNN wrote: "The fact that Senator Cruz continues to knowingly mislead the voters about this is astonishing."
