just to be fair: Fox News is why Ted Cruz is even on the map.

Also, as a Trump supporter after about Christmas, I could barely watch Fox because it was so hateful toward Trump.

Finally, I understand that Trump does NOT turn down an offer to be on the news. Those who do turn down air time due to this or that strategy can only admit that their strategies failed.

Cruz really needs to just go back home and reset his own career. He has damaged himself somewhat with the campaign he runs, and if he doesn't at least keep quiet about this kind of thing, he will continue on the road to irrelevancy.

One of the reasons I switched from Cruz to Trump was Donald's skill at setting a media narrative. Trump has gotten his fair share of negative coverage from most networks, but the early Fox positions, excluding Hannity (who was simply neutral), were clearly anti-Trump. Trump has also learned how to go over the heads of the media's negative positioning of him, he has shown how to set the narrative. It's something Cruz could not do, and did not do; if he could have set the media narratives about illegals, the muzzie immigration problem, or the economy, Cruz would have been the nominee.

He didn't, but Trump did. He projected the major issues of the day and brought them to the forefront of the American electorate, overcoming the PC politics of the media.
