As news consumers, we need to wake up and alert others to the inconvenient truth in which media standards are not consistently applied or embraced when events on the ground clash with the view as imaged by the news-making community. As famed behavioral psychologists point out time and time again.
“We effortlessly and intuitive;y ‘see that’ something is true and then we work to find justifications of ‘reasons why’ which we can give to others.”
This has been true with the serum that is being passed out in the “Lyin’ Ted Cruz” fiasco. If Cruz says it enough over the airways, “that it never happened, ‘I did not have sex with those women'” it makes it not true – especially when he blames it on Trump.
The following ad was used by the opposition to diminish Trump’s influence with women.

Cruz calls sex scandal story ‘garbage’ from Trump ‘henchman’

The National Enquirer did not name the women allegedly involved but published photos of five women with their faces blurred out. The Washington Post has not confirmed any of the allegations made by the Enquirer.
The saga comes amid the foul and strikingly personal atmosphere of the 2016 Republican presidential race, which has seen attacks leveled on spouses, jokes about the size of genitalia and rivals labeled “con artist,” “sleazy” and “liar.”

On Friday, a Trump supporter, Boston Herald columnist Adriana Cohen, accused former Cruz staffer Amanda Carpenter on live television of being one of the women cited in the Enquirer story.
In an interview with The Post, Stone accused Cruz of dirty tricks, bringing up accusations that just before Iowa’s caucuses, the senator’s campaign misled the state’s voters about whether then-candidate Ben Carson would remain in the race.
“I have no idea whether or not the cover story about Ted Cruz in this week’s issue of the National Enquirer is true or not, but I had absolutely nothing to do with it, did not know about it, and have not, as yet, read it. I have nothing to do with the National Enquirer,” Trump said in his statement.
The saga comes after days during which Cruz and Trump engaged in a spat surrounding their wives — one that raised concern amid Republicans that Trump would drive away female voters if he was the nominee for president.
An anti-Trump super PAC circulated ads featuring a risque (a naked photo), 15-year-old photo of Trump’s wife, Melania, taken for British GQ magazine.
“Meet Melania Trump. Your next first lady. Or, you could support Ted Cruz on Tuesday,” the ad read. It was meant to target socially conservative voters in Utah, whose caucuses Cruz won Tuesday.
*************************
It is hard to believe Ted when the truth hits him squarely in the face. And the nerve that this has been on the stove cookin’ in Marco Rubio’s kitchen for a long time and then he turns around and denies it – even makes it worse. He almost had me believing him to be honest – but, there was always something about his demeanor that always told me differently. He is a part of the very group of lying Elite Republicans who have been misleading and stealing from the American people for decades, starting with Bush I.
America knows we have to change our direction and elect Trump because he is the only real outsider in the whole damn bunch. The news media tries to make him into a villain – whereas in reality – he is the only person who is outside of the tent and it is showing – dramatically.
Are we going to stand up and work with Trump or are we going to go along just to get along as in the past? If that is your route – just take a look at the shape of the government and what it has done to us since Bush I. Then, go to the polling booth and hold your nose and vote for those very same people who have been pooping on us.
*************************
A good example was in Florida, Cruz opened a lot of campaign offices for show but no one every showed up in the offices. Look how he undercut Ben Carson and Marco Rubio.
Following is a good example of the media and how they pile on Trump because for some reason they do not want Trump to win. This is what we have to work around and not believe the news media or the internet. They are all Communists. Notice not one item is in favor of Trump. Take the subject and then think for yourself and accept what they say with a grain of salt:
