Michele Bachmann, who currently has a 4% standing in the national polls, will most likely not be winning the Republican nomination any time soon. Bachmann was enraged when she found out that CBS correspondents at the Republican debates were going to ask her limited questions: questions that didn't address the full scope of the issues at hand in America. Bachmann was angry over the fact that she wasn't being given a fair chance in the debates. Why should other candidates be allowed to answer questions, and not her?
Though CBS was being disrespectful to Bachmann, I highly doubt Bachmann would have been able to answer any of those questions, so good call on CBS's part. Bachmann is almost out of the election, so I understand CBS's need to focus on other candidates who actually have a chance at winning. I think the real problem was not that CBS was limiting questions (thus limiting her chances at winning), but that CBS was limiting her time on television. She believes that the media should not have the chance to "limit candidates' opportunity to speak to the American people." What a bunch of BS, really. She doesn't really care about her chances to talk to the American people, she just wants more prime time on television.
