Texas Senator Ted Cruz, who announced for president this last week, is completely understanding of what lies ahead. Said a wry Cruz to Fox’s Megyn Kelly: "Well, look, there's nothing like the warm embrace of the mainstream media.” In other words? In other words the conservative presidential candidate realizes that the supposedly “objective” mainstream media can’t abide conservatives and will do anything and everything to paint him as some sort of wild-eyed crazy man. But the obvious question arrises. Who is more mainstream? The liberal media or Ted Cruz? For a man who announced his candidacy only this last week he certainly has drawn an impressive list of critics who are already determined to tar and feather him. For David Letterman Cruz represents the “extreme right wing” of the GOP. On MSNBC, Donny Deutsch launched on Cruz as “scary…dangerous… slimy.” The New Yorker’s John Cassidy took a look at the Latino Cruz and loftily declared him “uppity”….and then apologized. Oops. Don’t want to give the impression liberals hate Hispanics! Then there was crew at The View. Whoopi Goldberg and a visiting Joy Behar led the attack. After declaring herself a “Ted Cruz birther” (Cruz was born in Canada of an American mother, and he never went after President Obama on the “birther” issue) at the beginning of the week she made a point of coming back around later in the week, the punch lines went like this; BEHAR: The bottom line with this guy is he's a climate change denier. We cannot have a president of the United States that's a climate change denier. GOLDBERG: He’s a gay people denier. He's a woman, right to choose denier. He denies everything. Listen, I'm sorry and I am going to take pot shots at him. He may not have been at the charge but he didn't stop the charge. And on - and on - it went.
