CBS sent out an email planning to not give Michele Bachmann as many questions as the other candidates in the foreign policy debate in South Carolina held Nov. 12th.
This was leaked because John Dickerson, CBS political director, accidentally emailed a Bachmann staffer the internal memo holding as much.
Wish they caught the memo of CBS deciding to only give Ron Paul 90 seconds of total speaking time during the hour long televised debate. This despite the fact that Ron Paul differs most drastically with the other candidates, who all were basically nodding their heads and agreeing with each other in support of war with Iran, torture, and more war.

Ron Paul got 258 words in the debate despite running relatively high in the polls.
The video below is a CNN clip mentioning Ron Paul and Bachmann being slighted in terms of time.

Amazing that Santorum, who has no more than a few percent in the polls and only appeals to homophobic social conservatives, gets 3-4 times the speaking time that RP does.
ReplyDeleteOn foreign policy, Santorum contributes absolutely nothing to the debate, other than to parrot the BS that Romney, Cain, Perry, and Bachman have to say. Yet, the one guy (okay, Huntsman gets some credit here) who actually brings a different perspective gets totally screwed - Ron Paul.
At least he's polling up with the front runners where it counts, like in Iowa. RP is going to surprise a lot of people when he takes 1st in the caucuses in 7 weeks =)
