Then that would mean the NE made up the story out of whole cloth. I don't think they're that stupid to do that.

Why did they report Hillary was dying of brain cancer and should be wormfood any day now?

Why have they repeatedly reported Michelle was divorcing Obama, or that Obama has 12 mistresses, etc, etc, etc, the list of nonsense the NE reports could go on for pages.

Also the NE protects itself by parsing the trash they print by saying they are reporting on other reports. So it is not really the NE's reporting, it is them reporting on rumors.

Did they really report all that?

OTOH, they got it right with John Edwards, Tiger Woods, and Jesse Jackson. And they broke the Edwards story before anyone else.

I'd still like to read the Cruz story myself, though. Does anyone have a link to it?
