Like Palin, the media hasn't forced Bachman to say and do completely ridiculous things. If you can't handle the pressure of the national media, don't run for national office..
Conservatives act like Obama was gifted something from the media. He had to deal with more contrived controversies than any other candidate I've seen. All of which have been false and have faded.
Palin on the other hand has proven to be a media loving idiot and Bachman is well on her to proving to be a gaff machine.

Actually, the MSM just hides Obama's embarrasments. Such as lying about his relationship to Bill Ayers, downplaying his relationship with Jeremiah Wright, his statement about his grandmother being a "typical white woman" (which was a completely racist statement), his charge that the cambridge, MA police "acted stupidly" in regards to Skippy Gates when in fact the cops were in the right, his constant mis-statements, such as there being "57 states". The list could go on actually.
What about Nancy Pelosi? "We have to pass the bill, to know whats in it"?
The MSM long ago abandoned its principles of fairness in favor of liberal activism.
The media has been on nothing but a full out attack mode on this woman. Why? Because she dare to run for political office just like Palin. How many are diggin in her trash can right now? Will they scurry around like rats getting her emails too? Big strikeout there BTW. They've already labeled her as "stupid" and "dumb" and the lemmings just go right along with the whole fiasco. Why do leftists hate women? Something to do with their gay agenda? Next up will be her family of course. Will need to hire some extra staff as she has five of her own and 23 foster kids. Lot of digging up dirt on little kids for the media and lefties to stoop to in the future.
Don't have to "dig" up dirt on Bachmann - she puts it right out there for us:
Quote:
* Bachmann falsely claimed that she and her husband "have never gotten a penny" from a family farm that received federal subsidies. But she reported income from the farm in 2006, 2008 and 2009 -- the most recent year available -- on her congressional financial disclosure statements.
* She claimed she had been "faithful" to her pledge not to request federal earmarks. But she requested $40 million in transportation earmarks in the 2009 fiscal year budget after taking the pledge, later claiming such projects should not be subjected to her promise. She withdrew her requests after the House Republicans took a party position in 2010 not to seek earmarks.
* Bachmann wrongly blamed President Obama for increasing the number of federal transportation workers who earn more than $170,000 from one to 1,690 during the recession. At least two-thirds of those employees were receiving more than $170,000 before Obama took office.
* She criticized the president for a 73 percent increase in government "limousines." But one department accounted for the increase, and it had a long-term plan, pre-dating Obama, to add armored vehicles. The term "limousine" includes armored vehicles and sedans, not just actual limos.
* She claimed government money received by her husband's counseling clinics did not benefit the business, because the funds paid for employee training. It's true the clinics received $24,041 for training, but the business received thousands more in government funds, including money for treating crime victims.
* The three-term congresswoman repeated -- on two Sunday shows -- the false claim that the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said the federal health care law will "cost the economy 800,000 jobs." The CBO never said that. It said there will be a "small" impact on jobs.
When she got to Waterloo to deliver her first official campaign speech, Bachmann made her now viral gaffe in saying that tough-guy actor John Wayne was from Waterloo, Iowa. The Duke was born in Winterset, Iowa, and was raised in California. It was John Wayne Gacy, the serial killer, who was from Waterloo. Bachmann’s Waterloo | FactCheck.org

WTF?? Nobody found any relationship with Bill Ayers. The media spent weeks on his attending Wright's church. Everything you mentioned was beat to death by the media which is why YOU KNOW ABOUT IT. IF IT WERE HIDDEN HOW WOULD YOU KNOW? LMAO...I don't know why Pelosi was thrown in.
When you attack a hypocrit for being hypocritical it's seen as a personal attack. After all it is what they truly are!
So we will have a hypocrite on both sides of the ticket.
A voting record and a direction in the message is all it will take to win the whitehouse.
Obama's voting record is not looking so well right about now. The direction in Obama's message, is not favored but by only a very small percentage of scumbagging Progressive loons.
Bachmann is singing the exact message and driving the direction the majority wish to take this nation, to make it great and respected once again in the world.
The only "stupid" candidate in this election, so far, is little barry sotero of the giant ears. The leftwing playbook has always been to demonize their opponents by calling them stupid, dangerous, wacky, etc. when it's their own candidates, protected by the media, who are the ones befitting the description.
When pathetic, unqualified, ineffective Republicans run for office, pretending as if they know more than the current, popular, and effective President, you can bet they are going to be slammed. The GOP stinks...and don't you forget it.
Palin, Bachmann, Gingrich, Romney, Paul...they all flat out stink. Get over it.
Credit to the media for putting the spotlight on these creatures.
Wow, that's a stretch. I won't bother digging up the current polls, you can find them for yourself.
I see so many posts about how Obama will crush <insertrepublicanhere> in a debate, but that's total BS. In the last campaign, he had no record (intentional?), but this time around he has to defend himself. Off prompter, when asked a tough question, Barry tends to stutter for the answer...Uh, uh, uh, uh, ummmm, uh, .....that won't fly this time around, everyone will see him for what he is.

Unlike Bush, right? Of course, this is edited, but it's still clear that Bush was not exactly a brilliant orator.
Hate ta tell ya, but the "main stream media" now includes a whole lot of right wing media, too.
OP is over-reacting.
Huh? Let's see how this plays out (just the big names):
Liberal channels:
ABC
CBS
NBC
CNN
MSNBC
Conservative channels:
Fox
Wow, that sure is a "whole lot" of right wing media.
