The MSM is a little more sophisticated than what is often portrayed here on FR; i think we all know that. That is how it pulls the crap it does for 50 yrs. A rare nice piece about conservative is “proof” the NYT is fair and balanced, dont you know.

Here’s my .02:
Ordinarily Bachmann gets bashed because she is conservative. Bachmann got msm praise to run for Pres. because she was supposed to keep Palin out. All knew MB had no chance. Also she was Mitt’s team and the msm was helping him

Palin may actually get some MSM praise in the near future. Why?
1) Palin sells. palin runs for president = months of Palin in the news
2) MSM wants a GOP war. great theater sells too when your opponents are cutting each other up, Perry, palin and Mitt.
3) MSM believes only Palin can lose to 0bozo.

I would agree with you partially, but there is no evidence whatsoever that Bachmannn is Mitt’s team. If there is, prove it with a link or something. Bachmann is a conservative, Romney is not.

No proof about MB being on Mitt’s team. Just my speculation, and others’. It just seems so bizarre that MB a 3 term congresswoman would run for president having failed to get leadership in the House. She has of course every right to run. It just seems there has to be another angle; will her seat be gerymandered out of existence? She wants a cabinet post? Maybe she is trying to make it “her turn” in 2016.
Let me be a concern troll myself. As a socon I really do like MB 100% as bombthrower, but not as pres candidate.

I have a solution to your problem. Once Sarah Palin announces, let’s go to work and make sure she is the nominee! I won’t even consider voting for another candidate as long as there’s a chance I can vote for Palin.

You do know that many people run who know they aren’t likely to win. They do it to up their status, and it works, or it sets them up for a future run.

That is why Newt has done it. Maybe kind of what Sarah is doing.

Who really knows? But it probably isn’t fair to paint Bachmann in the Romney camp unless it is proven.

Increasingly everyone is acknowledging her gravitas and the fact that she is presidential.

Okay. If ANY article (except the exact same one) in the NYT was remotely positive about Governor Perry, Palin fans would be saying it’s proof he’s a RINO.

Thank you. Odd how some people will go to bizarre extremes to pretend they can't grasp a perfectly obvious meaning.
