Covering a possible 2012 presidential run by Michele Bachmann, Good Morning America's Juju Chang on Thursday spun the Congresswoman as "one of the most controversial freshmen [sic] members of Congress." Aside from the obvious error, Bachmann has been a representative for four years, GMA never identified hard-left former Congressman Alan Grayson that way.
Reporter Jonathan Karl singled out Bachmann as "uncompromising" and "as conservative as they come." This type of labeling isn't uncommon for the journalist. On August 24, 2010, Karl hit Republican senatorial candidate Joe Miller as a "hard-line, Tea Party conservative."
On September 22, 2010, he deemed Christine O'Donnell's comments about witchcraft to be "infamous." On January 4, 2011, Karl derided incoming House Speaker John Boehner as "harshly partisan."
An ABC graphic crowned Bachmann a "Tea Party queen." Karl allowed that the politician "fires up" activists more than most Republicans.
Chang informed viewers that former Clinton operative George Stephanopoulos and World News anchor Diane Sawyer will host a debate between Republican presidential candidates in December of 2011.

No mater who runs on the GOP ticket , they will be treated to the “Palin”.
MDS starts the second she announces.
Here we go - time for the MSM to create the narrative on this relatively new candidate
Divisive
Far Right
Stupid
poorly read
in bed with “corporations”
You just KNOW its coming.
LOL! “Controversial” to whom? I’d like, just once, for the “media” to be asked that question and this one: You’ve called some conservatives “hard-line”, can you please give me an example of a hard-liner on the left (say....Pelosi)?
Oh, please!!!!! If I was a candidate, not only would I not show up, but I'd put out a presser as to why: A Repub debate hosted by two flaming liberals?
Lenin thought Czar Nicholas was “controversial”.
No men in the GOP with any stones running. DeMint, King, and Jan Brewer are all occupied.
She's a scary Christian gun totin' REDNECK, doncha know!
Not sophisticated, cerebral and ethereal points of light like us Libs.
It's absolutely true. But I do think that this tactic is going to be less well received in the future.
Bush? Worst economy since Hoover -- you know: unemployment at 4.6%, DJIA at 14,000, annual deficit of $160B. It was awful!
Sarah Palin?? Totally stupid and inappropriate!!
Michelle Bachmann?? Totally stupid and inappropriate!!
I think we now have the tools, and (in some) the Will to lay this before the American people and say "You see what they're doing, right? Dan Quayle wasn't dumb. Bush had a good economy. Sarah Palin has great accomplishments. Michelle Bachmann is a fine person. Do you see? Democrats lie to you, manipulate you, and drive our country into decline -- and they want you to think that these women are to blame for our current sorry state."
Perhaps I'm overly optimistic, but I think the politics of personal destruction is a losing game for the Democrats now. We are prepared to fight back, and they will come off very badly.
“As conservative as they come?” WTF? I thought her family was getting pulling down hundreds of thousands in agriculture subsidies.
That MSM?
Amerikan Bolshevik Comrades
And the left wanted him to spend even more on New Orleans!
