BOOM: Ted Cruz Eviscerates Left Media in Debate

As he has taken on the “Washington Cartel,” Ted Cruz took on the left-of-center and “mainstream” media during the CNBC GOP presidential debate on Wednesday night.

In the interview with The Blaze, Cruz also denounced President Obama’s plan to hand Internet domain registration over to foreign bodies as “reminiscent of Jimmy Carter’s idea to give away the Panama Canal,” warning it would imperil American interests and “undermine free speech.” Cruz is correct on all counts, and it’s a pity the rest of the Republican field hesitates to address these issues with such verve.
