And an hour later CNN clarified CARSON WAS NOT QUITTING THE RACE. 6:43 pm I believe. Cruz campaign NEVER mentioned that while continuing all night to falsely imply Carson was quitting.
Carson said apology not accepted and I’m sure he’ll sort out Cruz tomorrow at the debate. Cruzers, pack some hankies. Going to be a rough night tomorrow night.
RE: And an hour later CNN clarified CARSON WAS NOT QUITTING THE RACE. 6:43 pm I believe. Cruz campaign NEVER mentioned that while continuing all night to falsely imply Carson was quitting.
Because in the BROADER NEWS FROM CNN at 6:44, CNN Breaks the Story on TV:
(Did you hear any follow-up on the air about the Chris Moody tweet that Carson was going to stay in the race? No. In fact, I was watching the screen crawl on CNN while Tapper and Bash were talking and it said Carson was going to take a break after Iowa.
These TV reporters are the ones who didn’t even mention their own tweet.
I asked this before and I’ll ask this again -— WHY is Cruz responsible for the integrity of CNN’s own reporting than CNN is? And who has more VIEWERS at CNN, Tapper and Bash or Moody? I say Tapper and Bash)
*6:50 CNN The Lead tweets out the Story:

(Seven minutes after Moody’s clarifying tweet and still no follow through from CNN. This is now the second time they have put out the first part of Moody’s tweet about Carson but not the second.
WHY IS IT CRUZ’s responsibility to check Moody’s tweets?

Now we are almost 10 minutes after the Moody tweets, and this account has almost a half million followers. They are still staying Ben Carson plans to take a break from campaigning. This Twitter page has more than 10 times the followers of Chris Moody.
No wonder people will get the impression that something unusual is going on with Carson.
CNN failed to tell people about Moody’s tweets.
