Local TV news programs across the country struggled on Tuesday to define to their morning audiences that Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-TX) Twitter account had shared a pornographic video.
Although 40 million Americans regularly visit porn websites,the clip shared -- and then deleted -- by the senator's personal account caused local TV anchors to grimace."Somebody got ahold of the account," one anchor offered sheepishly on KCBS."More people accept in trouble on Twitter, and " another anchor complained."He should just block everybody," a reporter replied."It's not really Twitter's fault," the moment anchor opined. "What are you doing? Just in general, and people accept crazy on Twitter."The anchor for Fox's Dallas affiliate noted that Cruz was "the top trending thing on Twitter," but it was her co-anchor's grimacing that really stole the show."Probably rush by some intern," the co-anchor speculated, or enunciating the word "pornographic" over and over again with deep concern. "Cruz professes of course to be a defender of family values.""A hardcore porn video," the anchor for San Antonio's NBC affiliate announced.
