The Ted Cruz campaign is not backing down from it’s claim that the New York Times is unfairly blacklisting his book, and after denouncing the news rag earlier, they’re now demanding the NYT present their evidence that he gamed the system with bulk purchases:

The Ted Cruz camp released this statement thoroughly thrashing the flea-bitten curs at the New York Times about the head and ears;
“The New York Times holds itself out as the ‘newspaper of record,’” said Cruz campaign spokesman Rick Tyler. “If it lied deliberately—if the Times tried to slander the character of Senator Cruz and his publisher, knowing the charge to be false—then that goes directly to the journalistic integrity of the institution. How many other lies has the Times told? Are they only directed at Republicans? Under what circumstances does the Times believe it is appropriate for journalists to deliberately deceive the public?”
“If the New York Times desires to be seen as anything other than a partisan and dishonest attack dog for the far Left, then the only responsible course of action is either to release their so-called ‘evidence’ or to publicly apologize for making false charges. Silence—hiding from the truth—only screams confirmation that the Times intends to continue lying. Any journalist concerned about their institutional integrity should be embarrassed, and should demand corrective action.”
Suck on THAT, NYT!! Feel free to tweet this article and demand the evidence from their editor Margaret Sullivan at @Sulliview.
