Cruz slams media for ‘manipulating’ voters
The Hill ^ | May 10, 2016 | Ben Kamisar

Posted on 05/10/2016 10:17:35 AM PDT by maggief

Ted Cruz on Tuesday accused the media of propping up its preferred candidates, saying the news industry helped fuel presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s rise.

"This election will be studied for the role of the media, and in particular network executives," Cruz said on Glenn Beck's radio program, his first public interview since ending his presidential campaign last week.

"That has a dramatic impact on the polls, when every network becomes the super-PAC for the candidate that they want to win."

Cruz attacked media execs for “manipulating and trying to deceive the voters” and said Trump's rise was "heavily fueled by the media executives who have run him 24/7."

I heard TC complain that the last 30 days Trump received $500 million of free Press and 90% was positive. What TC conveniently leaves out of his talking points is this is the point at which Trump overwhelmingly won the last 7 contests so of course he’s going to receive more positive coverage.

Ted also left out that he was invited on many, many, TV shows and refused to go on.

By way of example, Greta called him every day for at least the last month, offered to go to him, anything, just to get him on.

He never got back to her.

“Why have so many media people complained that they couldn’t get Ted to come on their shows?”

Because he’s incapable of thinking on his feet. He’s great at anything scripted, when he’s had time to prepare to the nth degree. If he went on a show, he’d be asked questions, be unable to respond, and be embarrassed. To quote Trump, “It’s not gonna happen!”
