What say you? Is this a real screenshot of a real email from someone at the Cruz campaign? Or is it a fake?

[Theo]

Looks fake to me.

Why would anyone photoshop an email when you can just write the email and put a logo on it if you wanted to fake it? Anyway, the Cruz campaign has already admitted to doing this. They just claim it was fair game and that they “should have followed up that Carson was not suspending his campaign,” because, supposedly, they were duped by the CNN news story which even that contained a quote from Carson saying “not to read anything into” his trip to Florida.

Faker than Obamoa’s birth certificate. imho

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Why is this a concern?

It says...in essence...nothing other than “caucus for Cruz”.

To me, this is “piffle”.

[tacticalogic]

Looks ‘shopped to me. Why would the “D” in “Don” be larger than than the “D” in “Dear”?

[FreeReign]

Looks like an email repeating what CNN was reporting and recommending that Carson caucus goers should be told what CNN was reporting.

Nothing wrong with it.

[ScottinVA]

Fake.

The lines of text have been arranged and pasted onto that background.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

it bullsh*t because they didn’t post the header. And may other things when looking at the layers.

[LegendHasIt]

Maybe whoever posted it didn’t want it to be directly tracked back to them... Could be to a ‘Ron’.

Even if the name is photoshopped, it doesn’t invalidate the email, especially since the Cruz Campaign already admitted to it.

[Linda Frances]

Nice try. Fake.

[Nifster]

Steve King and Ted Cruz tweets were REAL

[Fresh Wind]

I ran the image through photoshop and altered the brightness and contrast settings, now look at it:

One can download the CNN video section here...

Requires FB login (but I was able to download it)... Sure sounded like CNN was saying Carson was about to quit.

What you are seeing are the compression artifacts from an over-compressed JPEG image. If you have black next to white, like this text, and you super compress the file size, areas where the two extremes touch will “average” and become a shade of gray. You often see this as a “noisy halo” effect around items in photos.

Places far enough from the lines of text remain white. Likely what you are seeing is a compressed pic that was copied and compressed again.

Who is Spence Rogers .. does anybody know who he is .. and where did he last work ..??

The line about “an announcement” .. I never saw any information regarding some announcement.

So, if Spence made that part up .. then maybe he needs to be removed from email duty.
