Media reveal they fear Senator Ted Cruz by going full 'birther' and 'McCarthyite' on him

2/16/13, "NYT Goes Birther: Attacks 'Canadian-Born' Cruz, Calls Him 'McCarthyite'," Breitbart, Tony Lee, Stephen K. Bannon

"Liberals, the mainstream media, and establishment Republicans often reveal which conservatives they fear by their level of disdain and vitriol.

This week, they put their crosshairs on freshman Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), a Tea Party conservative of Hispanic descent who undermines the mainstream media's ability to advance their false notion that being a minority and Tea Partier are mutually exclusive. He is a conservative who showed no desire to defer to the Senate's "courtly" ways, the preferences of the institution's old bulls.

The sinking ship that is the New York Times, the so-called paper of record, provided evidence of what it fears most in its Saturday edition: strong, distinct full-throated conservative voices from folks who ain't "country club," geriatric, and white. 

The Washington Post and Politico joined the Times in assailing Cruz this week for similar reasons. The Times did a thorough review of the freshman senator's stunning seven-week run."...

And that he:

"Enraged Senators Boxer and McCaskill enough for them to label him as a "McCarthyite"....

In what is known as a "tell" in the media parlor game, Weissman and the Times commit an unforgivable error by referring to Cruz as "Canadian-born" without mentioning he was born to a mother who was  a U.S. citizen, which most likely makes Cruz "natural born" and eligible to run for the nation's highest office. Yes, just when the Texan shows some "muzzle velocity" toward 2016, the Times goes birther. "...
