Cruz Attacks Matt Drudge [AUDIO]
Daily Caller ^ | 4/11/16 | Steve Guest

Posted on 04/11/2016 4:21:10 PM PDT by markomalley

Sen. Ted Cruz claims that Roger Stone, The Daily Caller Men’s Fashion editor, “decides” what Matt Drudge posts on his website Drudge Report.

In an interview with Mike Slater on “The Mike Slater Show” Monday, Cruz said, “If people want to get on the “Trump train,” they can. I actually think we need real and meaningful solutions to the problems in this country, and as president my focus is going to be on three things: jobs, freedom and security.”

Slater asked Cruz what he thought of the Drudge Report and the Texas senator replied, “Look, Drudge Report over the years has done a good job highlighting the excesses of the left and the excesses of liberalism, and about the past month the Drudge Report has basically become the attack site for the Donald Trump campaign.”

“And so every day they have the latest Trump attack. They’re directed at me. It — by all appearances, Roger Stone now decides what’s on Drudge, and most days they have a six-month-old article that is some attack on me, and it’s — whatever the Trump campaign is pushing that day will be the banner headline on Drudge.”

“By the way, they no longer cover news. Remember they used to have things like election results? They don’t put those on Drudge anymore. When we win a state, suddenly the state doesn’t matter. You know Colorado — there was no red siren on Drudge when we won all 34 delegates in Colorado. That wasn’t news, because — I mean listen, that’s fine,” Cruz said.

Later Cruz said, “My number one priority is bringing jobs back to America, raising wages for everyone, making it easier for people struggling to achieve the American Dream. That’s my focus. And I’m going to let others worry about the silly political game and the circus.”

Cruz nailed it. How can Drudge claim to be a “news” site when they’re posting links to 8-month old articles as their top “news” of the day?

They also never once reported that Scott Walker endorsed Cruz. And it’s non-stop pro-Trump headlines and anti-Cruz stories.

++

How can FOX,CNN,NBC,MSNBC,CBS,ABC claim to be news networks when they spend the vast amount of air time putting down conservatism, supporting GoPe Cruz and bashing Trump.

Because they “sell” news that will bring viewer ratings....drama and scandal...and outrageous happenings and speakers... will always bring in the tired masses to escape their real world. A political soap opera will do it every time.

Here is some choice Drudge antisemitism

Of course, being an antisemite yourself, it probably looks OK to you.

FOX gives Trump almost nothing but sweetheart coverage. His “best bud” O’Reilly has been defending him for months. Hannity gives him sweetheart coverage and feeds him the answers to his questions so Trump only has to nod and say yes. Most on The Five praise and defend Trump constantly. Greta, Geraldo and Judge Janine are totally in the tank for Trump and rip Cruz regularly as a “right-wing extremist.” Megyn Kelly is the only one who gives fair-and-balanced coverage on Trump.

This is Cruz's former boss, when Cruz was a legal GOPher for Bush.

The MSM created Trump, and kept him up top in front in every broadcast, Talking mostly about Trump in stories that were supposedly about an other candidate, and creating conflict skits to make it look like they were in conflict with their chosen created candidate.

The low-info Rip VanWinkles lapped it all up like it was real, and tuned in for every episode like the lap dogs they really are.

FOX,CNN,NBC,MSNBC,CBS,ABC are not news networks, they are Trump sycophancies.

Cruz was never anybody’s legal gopher.

He was literally the reason that the Bush campaign was able to stop the Gore chad-gluing operation, and get W into office.

He is the master legal strategist of this era.

I give O’Reilly credit because he has at times backed Trup in a corner....but it is always intended to benefit Trump. Few can correct Trump, but he and O’Reilly have been friends for ages, (birds of a feather), so Trump lets him "do his job".....but there's been more then one testy interview and most often o"reilly has the upper hand, Trump will yield to him.....and few who Trump would do so with.

Long time buddies...

and O'Reilly isn't Trumps only buddy....

You really are a shameless toad. You're using the ravings of a psycopath with a headline straight on his page titled "Jessica Christ" where he "gender reverals" Jesus just for fun, in order to justify calling Matt Drudge an anti-semite. Then you even extend it to me.

You really need to get zotted.
