Oops! We’ve all done it - hitting that “reply all” button when you really meant to just hit reply. Well now CBS News political director John Dickerson feels your pain. Here’s CNN with more.

“CBS’s new political director down there did reply all on an email that included the Bachmann campaign manager, and in that email the CBS News director admitted that Bachmann would not be getting that many questions during the debate.”

Bachmann and her campaign are not happy. Her campaign took to Facebook, sharing a copy of the email and commenting -

“...the liberal mainstream media elites are manipulating the Republican debates by purposely suppressing our conservative message and limiting Michele's questions.”

The campaign sent a similar email to supporters, calling on them to take to Twitter and criticize CBS News and Dickerson. But Politico’s Ben Smith said Sunday, team Bachmann’s call to action was a failure -

“...a search of Twitter suggests that virtually nobody acted on it...This kind of social media campaign can be a sign of a candidate's grassroots strength. Or, in this case, it can be a sign of apparent weakness.”

The New York Times reports, this certainly isn’t the first time GOP presidential candidates have gone on the offensive against the so-called “mainstream media”.

“Herman Cain has accused the media of bias in the reporting of claims of sexual harassment... Newt Gingrich has all but made media bashing a pillar of his campaign platform... Even when Mrs. Bachmann was riding high in the polls, her relationship with the press was strained, in particular over coverage of the Christian counseling practice of her husband, Marcus.”

Bachmann’s not the only one angry at CBS News for allegedly giving less air time to lower-polling candidates. Fellow GOP presidential contender Rick Santorum-- currently polling at 2 percent-- shared his thoughts with Fox News.

“I think when there are seven or eight people up there on the stage, seven or eight people should get the equal opportunity. Again, go back to, there was a Pew poll just a week or so ago that asked people if they could name any one of the Republican potential nominees for president and half the people in the country couldn’t name any of us. So the idea that this is a decided race... Let the voters hear from everybody.”

The next televised debate will take place on November 22nd in Washington, D.C.-- this one about foreign policy and national security.
