Anyone who takes the words of the NYorkSlimes, the WashingtonCompost, etc can count themselves to be uninformed and suckers. maybe at ONE time they were the rag of integrity NOT today. they are IN BED with the Democrat party. a Republican will NEVER get a fair shake from those now DNC partisan hacks who put out nothing but GARBAGE hit pieces.

Cruz Crushes the 'New York Times'
By Andrew Klavan January 15, 2016
How Ted Cruz Crushed the New York Times
debate:
There are many, many wonderful, wonderful working men and women in the state of New York. But everyone understands that the values in New York City are socially liberal or pro-abortion or pro- gay-marriage, focus around money and the media….Not a lot of conservatives come out of Manhattan. I’m just saying.
As a conservative who comes out of Manhattan, I knew exactly what he was saying and agreed. But as I watched him, I felt I could almost hear him working out the political calculation in his head: "I'm going to lose New York anyway and most people in the country agree with this..." and I couldn't help thinking he was walking into a minefield. Indeed, Trump's response, singing the praises of the Big Apple for its behavior during 9/11, was The Donald's big score of the night, and you could see on Cruz's face that he knew it.
All in all though, I thought Senator Ted had a great debate, his best so far and the best of anyone on the platform. For me, the high point was his response to a New York Times hit piece headlined "Ted Cruz Didn't Report Goldman Sachs Loan in a Senate Race." The Times, a former newspaper, actually tore some front page space away from its eight or nine articles eulogizing David Bowie's pioneering androgyny to attack Cruz for this obviously innocent paperwork error and, when Fox Business news questioner Maria Bartiromo brought the piece up during the debate, Cruz's response was masterful:
Well Maria, thank you for passing on that hit piece in the front page of the New York Times. You know the nice thing about the mainstream media, they don't hide their views. The New York Times a few weeks back had a columnist who wrote a column saying, "Anybody But Cruz." Had that actually -- that same columnist wrote a column comparing me to an evil demonic spirit from the move, "It Follows" that jumps apparently from body to body possessing people.
So you know the New York Times and I don't have exactly have the warmest of relationships. Now in terms of their really stunning hit piece, what they mentioned is when I was running for senate -- unlike Hillary Clinton, I don't have masses of money in the bank, hundreds of millions of dollars. When I was running for senate just about every lobbyist, just about all of the establishment opposed me in the senate race in Texas and my opponent in that race was worth over 200 million dollars. He put a 25 million dollar check up from his own pocket to fund that campaign and my wife Heidi and I, we ended up investing everything we owned.
