“Sen. Ted Cruz knowingly misstated CNN’s reporting during Saturday’s Republican primary debate, despite the fact that CNN’s reporting was correct all along,” Dylan Byers reports.
“The controversy stems from a CNN scoop that was broadcast last Monday night, minutes before the Iowa caucuses began. Reporter Chris Moody received information from the Carson campaign that he would be taking a break from the campaign trail after Iowa… Nevertheless, the Cruz campaign sent a message to supporters in Iowa suggesting that Carson might be suspending his campaign.”
Daily Beast: “When things go wrong, always blame the media... That very well may be true but the fact is that Cruz’s campaign went ahead and intentionally told potential caucus-goers that Carson was dropping out despite clarifications to the contrary from Carson’s campaign.“
