So, what was really up with the televised feed of Rep. Bachmann's State of the Union response?
Our sources tell us that CNN had originally agreed to use the live feed set up by Tea Party Express, which had a teleprompter running on the lens in which Rep. Bachmann was delivering her speech. But, when Rep. Bachmann left the camera set-up and sat in the House chamber to hear Pres. Obama's speech, CNN set up a camera of their own, just off to the side of the main, tele-prompter/camera. Thus, when CNN provided their network feed it ended up skewed and off-kilter.

Let us not forget that CNN has a long history of trying to make conservatives look like idiots and they are not ashamed of their tactics.
“When are we going to learn that the main stream media is mostly extreme left wing activists masquerading as reporters. Our side has to always be vigilant about this fact”
Bingo
Screw CNN and the rest of the MSM. Why should it surprise anyone that given the chance the MSM will make every decent God fearing American look stupid to the few 100,000 who even watch their stupid channel.
Just remember this when it comes to our movement and the MSM. We will go through them, around them, over them, and beyond them as we take this country back.
Do not doubt my words, because I am convinced that even the leftists in California will feel our wrath in 2012.
Everything the MSM does, they do to discourage us. They are finished and they know it, so why even fret over what a has been cable news network does anymore?
No amount of sabotage can take away from the brilliance of her speech or intellect.
Their little game did nothing but draw more people to her video on line.
Word up to the GOP - never let the media do this to you again. Provide your own feed.
Doubt it. Makes the camera and production crew look like idiots.
Yeah. And we know CNN is too professional to do something so juvenile.
The politics of an organization doesn’t necessarily reflect the self-respect of its skilled labor. Do you guys really want to debate this?
Aw man. That’s a bad one.
THAT’S the incident I was thinking of! When people called CNN to complain they were called names by the CNN staff.
Would not surprise me that CNN, along with Liberal RINOs in the GOP...sabotaged the Bachmann response.
Still, even with the sabotage....her response was way better than the RINO drivel from Ryan.
Remember that the House GOP election committee refused to back Bachmann in the 206 general election...so I never rule out the GOP in anything these days
To All:
Michele Bachmann has responded to this brohaha on her Facebook page:
“There’s been a lot of attention paid to the camera angle of my State of the Union response. Below is the one the networks should have broadcast; the network pool camera was asked to broadcast via the main camera, but a late-arriving network cameraman set up a very poor shot without anyone else being able to check the angle or the feed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZCuQcSYV-I
Yeah they did set her up so they could do this. Such a pathetic Obama state run media they are...

thanks for the ping - I watched just to see if they were going to try and skewer the O but they went back to their evil ways and just went after Bachmann. The entire whow was a snooze - I kept it on as background noise just in case they had ANYTHING interesting, but it was all flat.
Their hearts are broken that the One and his administration are just plain incompetent everyone knows it.
here is the Bachmann SNL I posted wrong link

Myers continued the Chris Matthews lie that Bachmann said "our forefathers" worked to get rid of slavery, when in fact she said "foreBEARS" and specifically mentioned John Quincy Adams.
