“The most trusted name in news” skipped a lot of the news in favor of mocking a small portion of Sen. Ted Cruz’s marathon anti-Obamacare speech. Why would they do that?

Exactly.

How many “legitimate” media outlets are reporting Cruz citing Green Eggs & Ham, and how many are reporting Cruz reading a letter from the heads of three major labor unions to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid demanding fixes to the health care law that will “destroy the very health and wellbeing of our members along with millions of other hardworking Americans”?

The only part of Cruz’s speech they understood and/or were willing to discuss.

Maybe this is why so many mainstream outlets are leading with “Green Eggs”:

What does it say about the media and liberals that the only part of Cruz's speech they understood was "Green Eggs & Ham?"

Reaching across the aisle, Rep. Stockman-style:

Cruz should offer Reid a compromise by instead reading taxpayer-funded cowboy poetry.
