Carson never said he was suspending his campaign. CNN never said he was suspending his campaign. The inferences you drew reflect just that—the inferences you drew. Others should be allowed the same option—to draw their own conclusions, rather than having your conclusions force-fed to them.
If the Cruz camp had used CNN’s wording in their voicemails it would have been a non-story. That the Cruz camp reported false info is a fact. Your justifying it simply takes you down to Roe’s level.
When one is communicating with others, one cannot help but communicate one's own opinion. The opinion people express is colored by their own inferences and conclusions. It cannot be otherwise.
If they have drawn the wrong inferences, this does not make of them a liar, it makes them mistaken. Now you are saying this was deliberate, and I am pointing out that even if this was, Cruz himself did not do it. I also point out that it is very reasonable to conclude that it wasn't even deliberate.

I am not justifying it. I see it as a simple mistake. I am pointing out that a very grave Evil was done to a man on the basis of mistakes by his staff.
The accusations directed at Cruz of being a "Liar" over this, were not reasonable. They were in fact, evil and despicable. People have painted him out to be a monster, and on the flimsiest of accusations. This incident happened to be one of them.
