Bachmann refuses to grant interview to local tv station
It seems that Michelle Bachman is angry at a reporter from local Quad Cities, Iowa/Illinois tv station WQAD because of the reporter's daring to ask questions about the so called "Gay therapy" clinic or whatever it's called. Anyway, the reporter was shut out of any questions when Bachmann recently came to town on a campaign stop. For complete, and better, details, go to www.wqad.com and scroll down to most popular stories. There is fascinating video with a cameraman as well as the reporter, Rae Chelle Davis.
Sounds like Bachmann simply can't stand to answer questions about anything that may make her look bad. And it is a certainty that she will be back in this area sometime before the caucuses. They all do.

1. The answer is to give her absolutely no air time whatsoever.
She should be shunned by every reporter/tv/radio station in the country until she's ready to answer.

4. Good solution
But you and I and the rest of the world knows that won't happen. For some strange reason, she is a media darling.

2. sounds like that reporter needs to start doing some real in depth reporting on the bachmanns then.
the kind no one else seems inclined to do for fear of access. since this reporter and station isn't getting access anyway, do the reporting. f it.

6. Just shows how she would treat the American people
if she was president
republicans have no answers so they run and hide and hope the nasty stuff goes away or let others clean up the mess

8. The popular media better pay attention
They could lose their access to Ms. Bachmann, and then what will happen? So, quit asking questions, don't be too nosy, and above all, don't piss off the candidate or you won't get to report anything! Are we all clear on that? Ms. Bachmann will let you know what you need to know; after all, that access-at-all-costs strategy worked so well during the Bush administration, didn't it? You all got lots of swell pictures and fine stories, and though a few of you had behavior that had to be noted in the White House (and presumably put on your permanent record), everything went swimmingly for eight years, didn't it?

9. Republicon occultism is a plague upon decent people everywhere
Republicons hide everything they are doing -- because they know it cannot stand the light of day.
