Bachmann Suggests Bias in Saturday’s Debate — Campaign Manager Says CBS Analyst Is a ‘Piece of S***’

Bachmann Suggests Bias in Saturdays Debate

Following a discussion that focused on foreign policy, several GOP campaigns are waging war against CBS only hours after the CBS News/National Journal debate from South Carolina. The campaigns of Michele Bachmann and Ron Paul have complained about unfair treatment from the network, arguing that moderators directed far more attention to rival campaigns. CNN reports that the Bachmann campaign backs their claim off an email inadvertently received by Bachmann’s spokeswoman:

“In the email chain, a CBS employee notified CBS political analyst John Dickerson that Bachmann’s spokeswoman, Alice Stewart, had volunteered the candidate for an interview on Dickerson’s post-debate webcast. The employee copied Stewart on the email and told Dickerson that she had been cc’d.

Dickerson replied, apparently unaware that Stewart was on the email chain.

‘Okay let’s keep it loose though since she‘s not going to get many questions and she’s nearly off the charts in the hopes that we can get someone else,’ he wrote.”

The Hill reports that after the debate Bachmann’s campaign sent reporters a screenshot of the exchange between CBS News staffers and the network’s political analyst John Dickerson, who is also a reporter for Slate Magazine. The Bachmann campaign argues that this exchange is an example of a deliberate attempt from the network to keep her questions to a minium and plan a biased debate.

CNN reports that Bachmann‘s campaign manager Keith Nahigian stormed through the spin room after hearing Dickerson’s response, saying “Jon Dickerson should be fired. He is a piece of s–t. He is a fraud and he should be fired.”

ABC News writes that the Bachmann campaign said Stewart had “inadvertently received” the email earlier in the day.

“There’s nothing that can be done now. The debate’s over,” Stewart told ABC news. “They assured us prior to debate that it was going to be a fair and level playing field and it certainly wasn’t. We didn’t want to have to get the word out but they made it clear to us that it was going to be fair and it wasn’t.”

“I think it‘s only respectful to allow the candidates to be able to speak and not intentionally ahead of time make a decision to limit candidates’ opportunity to speak to the American people,” Rep. Bachmann told CNN after the South Carolina debate. “Clearly this was an example of media bias.”

Ron Paul’s spokesman Jesse Benton also criticized CBS following the debate, going off in a statement on the matter:

“Ron Paul consistently polls among the top three in the key early voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire.He is polling in double digits in most respected polls. Congressman Paul is ranked among the top three in fundraising results. Congressman Paul serves on the House Foreign Relations Committee. Congressman Paul is a veteran. And, Congressman Paul has contrasting views on foreign policy that many Americans find worthy of inquiry and discussion. CBS’s treatment of Congressman Paul is disgraceful, especially given that tonight’s debate centered on foreign policy and national security.”

Bachmann Suggests Bias in Saturdays Debate

Benton went on to say “CBS News, in their arrogance, may think they can choose the next president. Fortunately, the people of Iowa, New Hampshire, and across America get to vote and not the media elites.”

Other candidates expressed their frustrations during the debate itself. At one point Jon Huntsman said, “Gets a little lonely over here in Siberia,” with Rick Santorum chiming in, “Tell me about it.”

CBS has described the disputed email chain as a “candid exchange,” but did not shy away from Bachmann, as network spokeswoman Sonya McNair put “It was a candid exchange about the reality of the circumstances — Bachmann remains at 4 percent in the polls.”

Debate moderator Scott Pelley told CNN that he didn’t know about the email chain, and attempted with co-host Major Garrett of National Journal to try to be fair with time to all the candidates.

    The hard fact is Bachman is taking up bandwidth. We have a fast approaching primary season upon us and her supporters as well as those of Santorum, Huntsman and Perry need to start helping out in the decision process. Start working through the mourning and get over it, the country needs your help. Romney’s plan is simple. Let all the others fight amongst themselves while he has the establishment on his side which will push him through the primary season into the nomination. Before that happens we need to focus in on Cain, Newt and Paul. Who do we want to take on Romney. The others hanging on along with their supporters are only helping the establishment. Carl Rove and company are smiling.

    This debate was terrible.Both so-called moderators were arrogant and biased. Their function was to ask questions of the candidates, not to argue with them if they didn’t like the answers. The audience and the viewers are not interested in the views of Pelley and Major.
    I do not understand why the candidates managers allow any debate when the people asking the questions are liberals. These candidates are competing for the GOP position.. That means that anyone connected with CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNBC, NPR, etc, any of the Obama networks should not be conducting any GOP debates. The people asking the questions should be conservatives or Republicans and the issue should be how each candidate would do a better job in defeating Obama and not attacking each other.

      I agree with those who say we need one network to conduct a real debate where everyone gets equal time to speak. I doubt that will happen, but it would at least be a fair debate.
      I also wish a few people would drop out already. Maybe they can discount the 3 with lowest amount of campaign funds. To me, if people aren’t willing to contribute to a campaign, that candidate is done.

      What else do you expect? Most of the Candidate still think they need to go through the liberal media and get their approval. Cain is the only one that uses them for an advantage. The others continually trip over their own tongues. Sure Cain does too, but the difference is, everybody knows he is not a career politician. So he gets a pass.

      But, by all means, I want them all to stay in the race as long as they want. The more time we take on liberal news reports, the more those reporters show the country how non-objective and slanted they are.

Everyone knows this is a “SICK JOKE”, Liberals have nothing in common with REPUB/CONS, they only want to destroy them ! My idea is simple : Using only right of the aisle moderators, ask each candidate the same question, let each one answere the question, then let the chips lie where they fall. The GOP voters will decide on there answeres and will decide on our candidate. “NO LIBERAL MEDIA ALLOWED”. WE DO NOT NEED TO ANSWERE TO LIBERALS. GOP KNOWS THAT LIBS HATE US!

      Great post, Dicker. I totally agree. Why give the liberals the chance to host the GOP debates? We all know they are biased and only want to use the debate platform to invoke fights within the Republican party. They then turn around and use/spin the candidates comments against the candidates and ignore what the current President is doing that harms our country every day. I say tell the Liberal idiots that they can watch the debates but we shouldn’t allow them to host them. A one minute response time is certainly not enough to see how these candidates would act if they were President. I think every liberal moderator they‘ve had have been outright rude and we shouldn’t be tolerating this. If you can’t get tough with Obama, why get tough with the GOP candidates? makes them look like the hypocrites they are.

      Pelley and Major are a couple of ignorant, overpaid and under-educated d!ckweeds who couldn’t put together an original thought or question if their unworthy lives depended on it. Like 99% of mainstream-press talking heads, they’re hired by these mainstream networks simply to “look/sound” good on TV (to whatever demographic group the networks’ equally vapid/biased/retarded marketing “executives” decide wants to watch their worthless productions)…. NOT because they have any intelligence or true talent.

      I‘m starting to get concerned because of the people who say if Paul isn’t nominated, they won’t vote for anyone else and may write him in. I don’t understand this kind of logic. They would rather see the country go down by the Dems and give Obama 4 more years than get behind the Rep nominee. I hope and will pray people’s eyes will be opened and really see what is about to happen if Obama is re-elected. We cannot let this happen to us. This is serious. Please people let’s support whoever is nominated or our country will be lost forever.

      Might want to consider a debate with moderators being conservative radio talk show hosts, e.g., Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin(no swearing), Laura Ingram, Sean Hannity, Hugh Hewitt, etc. make for a much more interesting debate. Romney and Huntsman might not want to show up, but that would be further evidence of their RINO positioning. Just sayin, but still think it would be a good idea. The only possible airing would possibly be FOX news, but that would also be questionable.

He is the only true believer in the Constitution out of all the other candidates, with maybe the exception of Bachman, and will do what is best for this country. Bachman still seems to think that military force is the way to get respect from the world, I say the golden rule is better.

      Sissy, I wanted to elaborate on this. Our economy is in such a mess that we cannot afford to continue to police the world. WThe only threat we have is from nuclear war from Russia or China. As far as Iran goes, we should let Isreal take care of it and back them by not interfering when they finally do. Look at Isreals history and you will see that they are very capable of defending themselves from all the surrounding countries. If we continue to spend billions and trillions on these policing activities, we will be broke very soon. Look at this link: http://www.usdebtclock.org/ Pay close attention to our National debt vs. our Gross domestic product. Then go to the bottom and look at our Unfunded liabilities. We are about to lose everything and with it goes our individual liberties. I am at the point of belief that we may not even have an election with the seriousness of our economic situation. Paul will fight hard to stop this in its tracks. Noone else seems to be so concerned. If we blow it this time, our children and grandchildren will pay a huge price for our failings.

      “After i learned about Agenda 21 i looked to see which candidate would get rid of the uN and Ron Paul is the only candidate who will. When i read his bill, HR 1146, that would withdraw the US from the UN and kick the uN out of our country, i was hooked. He’s tried to get that bill passed for 14 years, submitted it when Newt was Speaker but Newt ignored it. Then during the debate he talks about the dangers of Agenda 21 as if he originallt had that idea. He was never for auditing the Fed, either, though Paul tried to have that done when he was Speaker, and now he’s for it. Political expediency is all Newt’s about. Two tears ago he said he would like to fundamentally transform (yes, he used Obeyme’s exact same phrase) America’s government system. He calls himself a ‘futurist’ and would like to get rid of Constitution because it works too slowly for the 21st century. He’s also for getting the North American Union going – getting rid of the borders between America, Canada and Mexico. Newt is such a snake.
      Please look again a Ron Paul’s Constitutional platform. Even George Washington said no American should commit torture, that we should treat our captives with the utmost respect because to do otherwise would “bring shame, disgrace and ruin to themselves and their country.”
      We shouldn’t abandon our legacy out of fear.”

The truth is that mainstreet media has puked that lie out and you little lap dog lick that vomit up with a passion. Secondly, India, China, Pakistan, Russia, egypt, AND MORE HAVE NUKES. If Their neighbors feels that’s a problem, THEY CAN DEAL WITH IT. Do you not understand WE THE PEOPLE are not the world’s policeman. If our government WOULD QUIT sticking our nose in other countries we would be alot safer and regarded with respect by others? The constitution DOES NOT GIVE THE AUTHORITY to go to war just because the president and his warmongering friends want him to. Have your sons or daughters died in these unjustifiable and endless wars? I didnt think so, But you keep working yo ur mouth like a prostitute. As far as legalizing heroin, They are going to get their drugs whether it’s legal or not, And especially now since the U.S has invaded afghanistan and have taken over the drug trade from the taliban there. Legalizing it brings it out of the shadows and actually helps those that are addicted to get meaninful help instead of being criminalized because of an addiction they can’t overcome. Now run along little poochie, there‘s more vomit the media has for you that you haven’t swallowed yet.

      Truth, I will add to what you said. Just because the Federal Gov gets rid of drug laws, does not mean the states will. These are state issues as what is good for one state is not good for another. As Reagan said, “You can vote with your feet” meaning if you do not like your states laws, move to one that better suits you. Right now, because of Fed regulations, all the states are the same. It was never meant to be that way according to the Constitution. I think many people just do not understand the Constitution and therefore are not really for the Constitution anymore. I feel sorry for these people as they have just been brainwashed by the media.

    This debate was disappointing. From the first few moments I felt something was wrong. Everyone seemed uptight. It was announced for 90 minutes then abruptly, stopped on TV at 1 hour. So I ran to my computer and wtched the rest of it, what I could hear, cause the feed was so bad. I guess everyone else turned their tv off and ran to the computer also, maybe that’s why the feed kept freezing and was choppy. I waited but I never saw the post-debate start. CBS=FAIL!!

      Bachmann is gonna run around in other countries violating international law to get BinLaden?

      Paul said he would have done it differently, stating that America should have worked with the Pakistani Authorities who in the past had arrested Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other terrorists who were then tried in court. Paul also stated that other alternatives were viable that were less a violation of sovereignty, such as the initial plans of bombing the compound.

      That “good woman” Bachmann doesn’t know the Constitution, yet she says we should stick to it:
      She voted for the Patriot Acts, which stripped Americans of their due process (for “protection”)

      She likes waterboarding – even though the United States government hanged Japanese soldiers for waterboarding US prisoners of war in World War II because they deemed it torture of our soldiers

      She has bought into the Arminijad/Iran media fear – Arminijad is 14th DOWN from the leader, yet the media uses his statements and photo to represent all of Iran. Arminijad is sorta like the Maxine Watters of Iran. Does Maxine Watters represent all of the US? no Does Arminijad represent all of Iran? No

      I believe Bachmann’s intentions are good, she just doesn’t have a mature understanding of the Constitution. Every time we depart from the Constitution, we are closer to global government.

Yet when Fox is confronted with their bias against Ron Paul, they show statistics of BOTH networks coverage of Dr. Paul (very misleading) — and saying they are fair. I say NOT. Murdock is part of the banking/war machine and promotes fear and warmongering. Simple as that. That’s why so many conservative Fox views think war in the Middle East is just grand.

We need to decide if thats good enough for our country.And can we trust them enough to stand on there own values and principles. Perry does have some big funds backing his campaign as does Romney.

He has had his hands in the thick of thing for quite some time. Stop being fooled by all the candidates that change their positions constantly. Look at the only candidate that has been consistent in everything he says. Paul is for Constitutional principles.

That is what a true Conservative would do, not waste our money to do what Isreal can do themselves.

They have been doing that to Ron Paul since the very beginning. The sad thing is that even most conservatives do and follow what the msm tells them. Dr Ron Paul is THE ONLY ONE with real conviction, a proven track record of putting the constitution first, and to quit bankrupting us through unconstitutional endless wars.

      And don’t be too sure about Fox. Arthel Nevell had Susan Estrich on to talk about Herman Cain. It was the least truth, least fair, and least balanced piece I’ve ever seen on Fox. I think Fox has a CNN infection.

    Let’s stop messing around. Only Romney, Gingrich or Cain can win the nomination. All future debates should be amongst those three. The others just take up valuable time. I love Michelle Bachman, but she no longer has a chance. Perry for all his success in Texas just shoots himself in the foot at every instance. Ron Paul’s foreign comments simply take him out of the running. And Santorum and Huntsman are barely visible. Just three, thats it.

      Dang, you are correct. We have polished Rommney who has been there before yet, never quite made the grade. Newt, who has been here before also-then throw in Cain whom I used to support till he started to “talk different to which crowd he was talking too…” refer back to Obama ‘08 Campaigns where he suddenly lost the knowledge of how to speak the King’s English and suddenly dropped the “g’s” out of his words. Or present day when he speaks at a Detroit “Not on the Tax dollar dime cuz I’m touting my work projects so go suck an egg IRS and ethics committees./// lol

      That’s righ – they can only get the nomination because everyone lets the media choose who should be the front runners.

      But watch out! Ron Paul has predicted the wars, terrorism on US soil, and the economy as far back as 1997. What he says is going to happen will most likely come true to. All you war mongars haven‘t got a clue what’s coming because of the fools you let the media pick for you.

      Silver,

      You may be right on the electability issue, but I think you still need to let all of the candidates be heard otherwise how do you determine who is “electable” when some never get to propose their views? Direct democracy is when only the strong get heard, but a Republic is supposed to protect the minority view as well. Tells you a lot about why the press are mostly left leaning.

      I agree except I’d take Cain off the list also. Foreign policy seems to be his weakness. I like Newt out of the two but I still feel Romney has the best chance of beating the fraud we have now. This was the worst debate yet. Major sucked and I sat there wishing the crowd would beat Pelley to a pulp.

      You’re Right. He came across like a Judge at a Beauty Contest asking inane Questions like “What would you do for World peace” He and CBS used the people on the stage as props to the clock. It appeared that what was said was of no importance to them, they where cut off in mid sentence just to keep the show going.

      The real facts will be twisted, how? These GOP idiots, er, candidates are speaking from their own mouths. So now are you saying that the so-called main stream media has implanted devices in these people to have them say things that the media wants them to say or are these idiots, er, candidates, merely trying to use their own brains and mouths to try to form sentences and answer the questions?

    If they want a FAIR debate without bias they are going to have to avoid the MSM … they can’t help themselves .. they show who they are all the time. They know who Obama wants to run against .. and they intend to put that candidate in the best light.

      We joke about Obama and his teleprompter, but I watched the O’Reilly / Obama interview back in 2008 and Obama isn’t just talk. He’s smart, he can handle tough questions, and he can dish back harrassment as slick as an eel.

      We‘re kidding ourselves if we put someone up against Obama pretending he’s going to fold. He‘s going to chew up anyone who isn’t absolutely prepared to be the next President…

      I agree. I listened very intently to the answers the candidates gave, and I think Ron Paul gave the best answers. It is a shame he wasn’t given the time to elaborate on them. His responses on the Iran situation were consistent with his “obey the rule of law and the Constitution.” He didn‘t say he wouldn’t go to war, if necessary. He said he would go to war if declared by Congress, and then he would get it won and over with as soon as possible (paraphrasing). All of the other candidates have been led down the path of the president as “King.” The office of President needs to be limited in its powers by the Constitution as the founders intended. As with the rest of DC, it has ignored the Constitution and the rule of law for too long.

      Cain, Romney, Bachmann, Gingrich, and Santorum all assume they have the power to prevent Iran from getting a nuke. In our government, under the Constitution, that is only true if he/she has the approval of congress. What I heard from Ron Paul was that he would only act on congressional approval or declaration of war as it is not in his power under our Constitution to do otherwise.

      I have been watching Herman Cain for some time because I like him and I believe he is not “owned” by the establishment. But, like the other candidates, he is still working within the big government framework that the establishment (republicans and democrats) has set up over the past hundred years. We, as a nation, have become used to the ever expanding role of government in our lives, and the increasing abuse of power by its elected officials. If everyone were familiar with the Constitution and the principles it was based on, we would not accept half the things we do now. That is why it has taken Ron Paul so long to catch on with the American public. Obama has actually done us a favor in that regard by waking us up to the progressive plan that has been underway for the last century. Hopefully it will not be too late to turn our country around, but I don’t know if we can survive another year of this administration.

      G_A_T_L….You are assuming that the so called conservatives here care any more about the COTUS that the other side does. They *itch about the other side destroying it, but willingly look the other way when an (R) does it. If more people read, understood and supported the COTUS, we wouldn’t have a field of big government, globalist, elites in this field.

      Your comments are spot on, just be warned the modern ‘team playing’ republican will accept more of the same that we are getting from this current administration as long as the next guy has an (R) next to his name,

      You can lead a sheep to water, but there is no way to make them drink.

      The liberals have one valid point….where were (R)’s when Bush was pushing his Patriot Act, all in the name of the fallacy known as government provided safety. All it has truly accomplished is daily shake downs of non-muslims at the airport and fewer rights. And while they ushered that atrocity in, they scream over the next guy thinking he can make you buy insurance.

      Wake up call people….the president is NOT king, and it would be nice for a change to have someone in there that realized that.

      But I digress…..everyone please return to your manufactured illusion that they are not playing for the same team.
