Joe and Mika Mock Cruz's 'Staged' Delivery, Even When Defending Wife
Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski had a jolly old time mocking Ted Cruz on today's Morning Joe. After playing a clip of Cruz refusing to say whether he'd support Trump given The Donald's attack on his wife, Joe imagined Cruz rehearsing his words before a mirror.
Scarborough went on to approvingly cite David Axelrod, who had said that Cruz seems "staged" even when defending the honor of his…

Blogger: Conservatives Clueless About Obama’s ‘What Works’ Comment

The right’s hostile response, contended The…

All Three Nets Cover Anti-Cruz Smear; ABC Scolds Both Cruz and Trump
On Saturday, all three broadcast morning news shows talked about the National Enquirer allegations against GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz, allegations for which there is still no on-the-record source or any other supporting evidence.

MSNBC's Reid: 'Absolutely False' Planned Parenthood Sold Baby Parts
No one can in good faith dispute that Planned Parenthood sold baby body parts. It has been carefully documented. And there's that video of a Planned Parenthood official fantasizing about buying a Lamborghini with the proceeds. The capper is that PP President Cecile Richards announced not long ago that PP would no longer take money for body parts. As Michelle Malkin marvelously put it in her …
Vox Writer: GOPers Dislike Racist Trump, But Back Bigot Cruz
According to Dylan Matthews, Donald Trump attracts a highly diverse group of foes. Some of them (mostly Democrats and independents) find racism appalling, but others (notably some prominent Republicans) are fine with it as long as it’s packaged in a certain way.
In a Wednesday article, Matthews remarked that even though GOPers such as Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney have sharply criticized Trump, they’…
ABC and NBC Both Cover Anti-Cruz Tabloid Smear; CBS Refrains
Despite the complete lack of any evidence, and only unequivocal denials from women named in the story, a story based on what even the National Enquirer itself labeled only as “rumors” against GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz found its way onto both the ABC and NBC evening newscasts on Friday. For its part, the CBS Evening News responsibly noted only that Cruz had accused Trump’s campaign of…

WATCH: ‘Scandal’ Steals Cruz’s Gun Wrapped in Bacon Routine
Culture
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. So I guess the presidential candidates should all be flattered that ABC’s Scandal is imitating them. First it was Francisco Vargas (Ricardo Chavira) as Bernie Sanders in Marco Rubio’s body. Now it’s Hollis Doyle (Gregg Henry) as Ted Cruz in Donald Trump’s body.

ABC, CBS Paint Cruz as Down in the Mud with Trump in Wives Debate
On Thursday, ABC’s World News Tonight and the CBS Evening News chose not to be the arbiter of whether Donald Trump or Ted Cruz was in the wrong concerning the debate over the wives and despite the fact Cruz had nothing to do with an ad of a naked Melania Trump, the newscasts painted Cruz as down in the mud with Trump for “defending the virtue of his wife.”

ABC’s Kimmel Parody Ad Claims Cruz ‘Almost Exactly the Same’ as Trump
Well that didn’t take long. After Cruz’s strong comments condemning Islamic terrorism Tuesday, the media seemed to be following the same teleprompter in making endless comparisons to Trump. ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! also jumped on the bandwagon with a parody ad, narrated by an eerily realistic Mitt Romney impersonator, who claimed Cruz was “almost exactly the same [as Trump] but without the steaks…

Nets Neglect to Fully Separate Cruz from Ad Against Melania Trump
On Wednesday night, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC did little to nothing to separate Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz from the unaffiliated Super PAC that ran an ad featuring a naked picture of Donald Trump’s wife Melania and instead chalked it up to a “nuclear war of words” representing more “shame” in “their nasty rivalry.”
