Ted Cruz: Rupert Murdoch ‘Turned Fox News Into the Donald Trump Network’
Source: Mediaite.com 12:23 pm, May 3rd, 2016
Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz ripped into Fox News top executives Tuesday, saying during a press conference that they had transformed the network into a nonstop pro-Donald Trump platform.
There is a broader dynamic at work, which is network executives have made a decision to get behind Donald Trump. Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes at Fox News have turned Fox News into the Donald Trump network, 24/7, Cruz said.
Murdoch is used to picking world leaders in Australia and the United Kingdom, he argued, and were seeing it here at home with the consequences for this nation. Media executives are trying to convince Hoosiers, trying to convince Americans the race is decided. You have no choice, you are stuck between Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, either one of which is a horrific choice for this country.
In perhaps a fitting metaphor, MSNBC and CNN viewers got to hear Cruz make that allegation, but Fox was not yet covering his live remarks.

(3,585 posts)not and would not like Trump I realized that the reality was so very different, I pointed out to friend that if you watch the media, they are actually creating, empowering, and supporting Trump's candidacy.
The media has made Trump the 800 pound Gorilla, they have made his words, his opinions, his attacks, seem as thought they are coming from a great center of power, he is the center of this election's coverage so far, everything is reported in the context of how does it affect Trump, what does Trump think about xxx, 'boy look at Trump's reaction', 'boy that Trump, isn't he phenomenal ?'.

(53,521 posts)When push comes to shove the MSM will always go for sensationalist BS that gets eyeballs. Trump played the MSM like a fiddle. He's a lot smarter and a lot more dangerous than people thinks he is, his buffoon act is just that, an act.

(3,051 posts)I can't stand Cruz and his preachy ways, but at least he is honest about being a creepy hard core conservative. I disagree with basically everything about the man, but respect his consistency. Intellectual honesty is rare among politicians, of any kind.
Trump is just a crook. Hillary is little more than a crook.
Here's to hoping the superdelegates change their tune! Be hard not to if Bernie has most of the real delegates.
