So, what was really up with the televised feed of Rep. Bachmann's State of the Union response?
Our sources tell us that CNN had originally agreed to use the live feed set up by Tea Party Express, which had a teleprompter running on the lens in which Rep. Bachmann was delivering her speech. But, when Rep. Bachmann left the camera set-up and sat in the House chamber to hear Pres. Obama's speech, CNN set up a camera of their own, just off to the side of the main, tele-prompter/camera. Thus, when CNN provided their network feed it ended up skewed and off-kilter.

The lighting is better from that angle too, what a surprise. Probably the cameraman was messing with her face too. What should we expect from DNCNN.
Pray for America
Did not Axelrod make some petty comment?
Was he complicit?
Did not Rep. Bachmann’s handlers see the second camera in the room and ask what it was doing there?
I’d like to have a word with whoever did her makeup.
Not that I care much — since it would be so typical of the MSM to denigrate someone over a simple error instead of addressing the substance — but Mediaite’s sources are CNN and then they promote MSNBC’s “analysis.” Think I’ll check on what Tea Party Express has to say.
When are we going to learn that the main stream media is mostly extreme left wing activists masquerading as reporters. Our side has to always be vigilant about this fact.
Does he do anything else?
Any Conservative that trusts anything mainstream or lefty is nuts..
Personally, I prefer to think for myself. CNN's political director Tweeted minutes after the speech was over to make sure it was clear that FNC, not CNN was pool at that event. Other outlets besides Mediaite, also pointed the finger at FNC. As I said, Fox has had almost a week to rebut it, yet not a peep from them. To me, that's telling.
Whomever it was - FNC or CNN - this isn't anyone else's fault besides Bachmann, the Tea Party Express and their media consultants. This is press event 101. They screwed it up, no one else.
Any time a Tea Party member does an interview, they should always have somebody on their side videotape the entire proceedings.
The correct camera to look at is the one with the teleprompter. All the camera directors knew this. It was sabotage.
Bachmann and her SOTU reply were thoroughly skewered tonight on Saturday Night Live by Kristen Wiig, and also head-writer Seth Myers. They shared the blame with the incompetent director, and the make-up person.

Of course.
Not in today's media. It's style over substance.
>> Did CNN Sabotage Rep. Bachmann’s SOTU Response?
Doubt it. Makes the camera and production crew look like idiots.
