Oddly Not News

Ted Cruz won the Republican primary runoff in Texas for a seat in the U.S. Senate last night. Since the only way the Republican nominee will  not win in November would be if Eric Holder canceled the election and declared martial law,  this means that Texas will have its first Hispanic senator. This fact is only incidental information to people who care more about a candidate’s political beliefs and principles (if any) than his ethnic background, but is the sort of thing  that is usually very big news with the race-obsessed traditional media. If Cruz had been a leftist and a Democrat, this would have been a major  bell ringing, leg tingling, news story from coast to coast and border to border. Since he is a conservative and a Republican, we get instead pretty much nothing. What does not get reported often reveals as much about bias and dishonesty  as what does. That is fairly obviously the case here.  Who knows, the traditional media may even label poor old Ted a “white Hispanic”,  a term never used for Democrats of any complexion but put into common usage by the New York Times  to make George Zimmerman an honorary cracker.
