Ted Cruz might not have won the GOP presidential nomination, but during Sunday night's debate, the Texas senator proved he was very much 'still in the race.'

With one incriminating question, Cruz exposed — as has been exposed countless times in the past — the blatant bias of the so-called 'mainstream' media.

That question was about the timing of the release of the 'leaked' video:

Excellent question. Given that the liberal media now works 24/7 to dig up dirt on Trump, why not release the video as soon as he announced his candidacy in June of 2015?

Wait — I think I figured it out.

You don't suppose the liberal media wanted Trump to win the nomination, do you, thinking Hillary would have a better shot against him than any of the other candidates?

Yeah, me too.

The "Apprentice" producer to whom Cruz refers is Bill Pruitt, who tweeted the following ominous message the day after the leaked video was released:

If NBC had "far worse" video of Trump years ago, why did the network sit on it? Seems there's only one or two answers — neither of which demonstrates integrity.

It was either because "The Apprentice" was a 'cash cow' for NBC at the time, or execs thought the video might just come in handy sometime down the road.

In any case, well played, Sen. Cruz.
