On Thursday, ABC’s World News Tonight and the CBS Evening News chose not to be the arbiter of whether Donald Trump or Ted Cruz was in the wrong concerning the debate over the wives and despite the fact Cruz had nothing to do with an ad of a naked Melania Trump, the newscasts painted Cruz as down in the mud with Trump for “defending the virtue of his wife.”
CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley did nothing to highlight the threat Trump had made against Cruz’s wife Heidi and instead rode in on his high horse to lambaste the pair as equals for not putting issues like “war and peace, immigration, and tax policy” at the “front and center” of their campaigns.
