The 27 March 2016 edition of Fox News Channel's MediaBuzz critiqued the media's attention on the National Enquirer's cover story about multiple alleged affairs involving Senator Ted Cruz. Howard Kurtz noted that "the dilemma for the press here is whether to run with these unproven allegations." The Daily Caller's Gayle Trotter asserted that the press "shouldn't run with it, because the story itself shows that the National Enquirer has a complete lack of evidence." Ashley Parker of the New York Times underlined that Cruz's "unprompted" response to the story "makes it more complicated," as the media reports on what the candidates say.
