#GOPDebate Can Fox ignore Ted Cruz during and after the debate anymore than they already have?
— Cynthia Patrick (@kaliapea) August 7, 2015
As Twitchy noted over the weekend, an NBC News/Survey Monkey poll showed Ted Cruz rising to second place among GOP 2016 candidates after the Fox News debate.
Many viewers believe the network snubbed Cruz, who was not acknowledged by the moderators last week until 40 minutes into the debate.
I now believe there is a concerted effort to ignore Ted Cruz. Wall Street Journal op-ed disses Trump, lauds Bush, mentions everyone BUT Cruz

Is it just me, or does it seem like Ted Cruz is being frozen out of this debate??

The Fox moderators practically ignored Ted Cruz, the best debater of the group.

I wonder how many more excellent things @tedcruz could've said if @FoxNews hadn't frozen him out of the debate for *56 minutes* straight!

The media is so scared of the @tedcruz surge they will focus on the Trump-Kelly pissing match and ignore the real story

Cruz is not letting anything the media does (or doesn’t do) stop him. The latest from his campaign travels:
