When former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina first endorsed Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, the media kept replaying a clip of her from January in which she said Cruz would say “whatever” to get elected.

Media outlets excitedly replayed the clip to — what? — remind Cruz that he was once rivals with Fiorina? To make Fiorina look like a liar or a flip-flopper? Probably some combination of the two. And when Fiorina was named as Cruz’s running mate (conditional on whether he can win the GOP nomination, of course), the media again latched on to this months-old quote from when Fiorina was still running for president.
