Republican Presidential candidate Michele Bachmanns campaign is expressing outrage over an internal CBS memo that they said is proof the network mistreated the Minnesota congresswoman during Saturday nights CBS News/National Journal Debate.
The email was accidentally sent to the Bachmann campaign by CBS News. The campaign decided to release the email to show what they believe was a planned effort to limit questions to Bachmann.
Bachmanns campaign manager blasted CBS for what he called concrete evidence confirming what every conservative already knows.
The liberal mainstream media elites are manipulating the Republican debates by purposely suppressing our conservative message and limiting Micheles questions, said campaign manager Keith Nahigian. We need to show the liberal media elite that we wont stand for this outrageous manipulation. Help us fight this affront by sharing this with your friends.

It isn’t called the Communist Broadcasting system for nothing.

The Republicans chose their enemies as the debate producers. No surprise here.

So don’t do the debates.
Do all debates through tea party venues :-)

She's right. I hope people will ask themselves what "In the hopes that we can get someone else" means. They aren't going to stop with her.

There's also the really old lesson that if you lie down with dogs you get up with fleas.
CBS should have been cut out of the consideration of Republicans for debate/face time long ago. Apparently they've forgotten about what their boy, Dan Rather, did to George Bush.
That should have established an eternal enmity where CBS no longer exists in the Republican lexicon.

If we’re nominating people for POS status, I think Scott Pelley should be on the list

The RNC Chairman should have provided some guidance here ~ Preibus should have simply directed the candidates to chose venues other than CBS given their prior history of criminal duplicity.
So where was Preibus? Maybe he was consulting with the blue hairs who own Kenosha or something.

Ron Paul was given 89 SECONDS of the 90 Minute debate. Regardless who you vote for that is a travesty.

The only purpose for debates on the MSM networks is to give the Dems ammo to use against Republican candidates. I don’t know why these candidates let themselves get used that way.

When was the last time the GOP hired someone with brains as Chairman of the Party?

Yep and the GOP keeps walking into it. I guess it's like a bug zapper that bugs have to know their doomed but keep flying to it.

I believe she is right but I kept saying to my self all last night, "c'mon Michelle, why are you putting up with this, say something!"
No she is coming of like a whiner.
