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.

I hope you are right cause I like Bachman a lot!
She was unflappable.
Totally dignified, gracious, polite, REFUSED TO EVER STOOP TO Mr. Bo-Tingles' level...
Even Pat Buchanan recently gave Matthews a bad time, telling him, YOU'VE HAD MICHELE BACHMANN ON HARDBALL EVERY OTHER NIGHT FOR TWO YEARS.
She uses her airtime to present HER program, and simply refuses to acknowledge his insultingly outrageous behavior.
What's it to her???
Nothing.
He's just a liddle boy weasel... one who is FIXATED upon, literally OBSESSED with Representative Michele Bachmann.
However.... water...DUCK.... Michele is utterly and intentionally oblivious to HIM and/or HIS nasty behavior, and simply goes on & on & on with her talking points.
Drives Mr. I-wuv-Barack absolutely NUTS.
It's the best TV I've ever seen, but I presume she's WAY toooooo busy nowadays with mature adult reporters and talk show hosts to have much time for MSNBC.
lol
I saw the whole thing, live, on CNN, and I didn't notice ANYTHING off, but I'm more concerned with IDEAS and couldn't care less about all that telegenic, "look me in the eyes" at the camera nonsense, LOL
I hope the next time she is on with Chrissy Mathews that she needles him on his Panama Canal in Egypt screw-up.
Most afternoons I'd try to catch the opening of his show, to learn if she was going to be on.... he really had her on VERY often, and it was truly interesting to watch her.
NO ego.
It's all about the Political Direction of the USA, and absolutely NUTHIN' about Michele.... it's like she's the Proverbial Exception that proves the rule that *only* clinical Narcissists go into politics.
That fascinated me, that she NEVER lost her kewl, was always calm & collected, I mean yikes... Chris would FUME so very werry hard, the spittle from his lispy angry would hit the camera lens, it was an incomparable show.
She'd just stare into the camera with a polite half smile on his face while he rages, and when he'd have to stop to catch his breath, she'd suddenly RE-EMERGE victorious and go on with her talking points.
Quite extraordinary.... was savaged by Chris, but NOTHING stuck, NOTHING, she was utterly imperturbable, LOLOLOL
The very first thing that occurred to me was that CNN had tried to come up with another silly little idea to hurt a real conservative. (No, it wouldn’t surprise me to learn they pulled a a stunt with the camera angle.)
I don’t know for sure, but it sure fits all the known facts.
Maybe someday liberals will realize—when you can’t advance your ideology on its own merits, maybe you should just let it go.
I gave up watching prissy Chrissy a long time ago so I haven’t seen any of that. Good for Michele, go girl, sic ‘em!
*ping*

I am a longtime fan of Fox, so it pains me to say these things.
But of course they did. One can blame The Tea Party Express or Bachmann for being naive and or assuming the CNN team were well intentioned professionals; however, it was CNN's equipment and technicians running their equipment.
It was obvious that the lighting was bad and as well the camera angle was off. At worst, blame Bachmann for being a trusting individual. As well, one could say that Bachmann is not media savvy -so what... She is REAL. The content of the message and the votes she will make -that is whats important -that is character, that is substance.
