can you provide evidence that the key issue was changed at the source? It just says on NYT site that something completely different was ‘corrected’- and nothing about Ted saying ‘He’d be fine with it if....’
That's because, the NYT, unethical as it is, never acknowledged their misquote. They just changed it and left the damage they had already done to Sen. Cruz to languish on the Internet.
Sen. Cruz's response was excellent, however, and should repair some of the damage.

What you are seeing is SOP for the MSN, they do things such as this all the time.
A poster has also filled you in on this.
