I wouldn’t put it past CNN, either. That DOES NOT, however, absolve Cruz and his campaign.
I’m in Mississippi. We just went through this crap with Barbour and Cochran and the GOP. Cruz is working straight out of their playbook.
Cruz’s people spread the news that CNN reported.
Perhaps they should have known that CNN is scum, but then how many people here on FR have swallowed the CNN reports that Cruz used slimy tactics?
CNN and the GOPe thugs and playing us all for fools. We CAN’T keep with knee-jerk reactions. The CNN report was aired at 6:45, when there was no time for people to figure out whether or not CNN was lying. They gave CNN the benefit of the doubt. Anybody who initially gives CNN (or any of the media) the benefit of the doubt without doing their own research to verify it is in EXACTLY the same boat as the Cruz campaign - if they have only 15 minutes in which to do that research. It’s been much longer than that since Carson’s reports came out, and yet I don’t see many people checking out what really happened... I DO see a lot of mud-slinging which serves the very purpose for which this CNN lie was put out there.
