Ted Cruz: Media executives 'have made a decision to get behind Donald Trump'
Sen Ted Cruz (R-TX) faces a tough battle in the Indiana polls, seen by many experts as the last chance to stop Donald Trump's march to the nomination. But speaking to reporters there at a press conference, Sen Cruz flipped the tables, criticizing the media and specifically News Corp. and 21st Century Fox chairman Rupert Murdoch and Fox News CEO Roger Ailes, accusing them of turning Fox News into the "Donald Trump network."
"There is a broader dynamic at work, which is network executives have made a decision to get behind Donald Trump. Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes at Fox News have turned Fox News into the Donald Trump network," Sen Cruz said. "Rupert Murdoch is used to picking world leaders in Australia and the United Kingdom running tabloids, and we're seeing it here at home with the consequences for this nation. Media executives are trying to convince Hoosiers, trying to convince Americans, the race is decided. You have no choice. You are stuck between Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, either one of which is a horrific choice for this country."
