Sen. Ted Cruz, R-T.X., told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo that former President Donald Trump doesn’t get enough credit — because he forever “broke the media” and now the liberal mainstream doesn’t even “pretend” to be impartial.

Cruz said the latest scandal from The Washington Post — which made up Trump quotes during his controversial phone call with Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger out of thin air — is proof the liberal media is forever changed.

“Senator, real quick, I want to get your take on The Washington Post correction this week and really look at how the media is driving this as well,” Bartiromo asked Cruz during his appearance Wednesday.

“I mean, we have the tape now, Senator, it said nothing of the sort. And, of course, this is very impactful because this was used as evidence at the impeachment trial against President Trump.”

“Your reaction?” she asked.

Cruz said the hate of Trump and his unorthodox straight talk “broke” the liberal media’s fake impartiality.

“Look, Donald Trump broke the media,” Cruz said. “They hate Donald Trump so much that they don’t pretend to be objective. They don’t pretend to be impartial. They don’t pretend to be journalists.”

“They are partisan propagandists. They are liars,” he said. “This wasn’t a small detail in the story. It wasn’t said. It’s made up. It’s not true.”

Cruz said the facts didn’t “fit the narrative” so The Washington Post didn’t bother to check what was true.

“It was too good to check,” he said. “It fit the narrative too much.”
