Near the Capitol subway earlier, Senator Cruz cited a 2015 NYT story about Burisma and the Bidens.
I asked Cruz whether he knew that James Risen, who wrote it, said the story's been twisted by the political right.
Then Cruz bashed the press.

I'll post the full exchange between Cruz and me later.
If permitted a follow-up question, I would have asked Cruz why he didn't investigate the Biden and Burisma matter five years ago--when a GOP-controlled Senate ignored it press probed it.
But Cruz quickly darted off.

Cruz: "It's not surprising to see the press engaged in situational ethics... One of the reasons that the American people, I think, have lost trust in a lot of the press is because so many of the press, are desperately just repeating whatever the Democratic narrative is."
