For years I've been berating Minnesota political journalists for giving Bachmann sweetheart interviews ever since she got into politics. (The editors and reporters get access to Michele in return for not raising the uglier aspects of her claims about conspiracy in government, "Obama's a tyrant," etc.)

Well, according to this article, she just got another "free pass" sweetheart interview from a Minneapolis-St. Paul publication:

Michele Bachmann gets another free pass, digs into gun talk

By Hart Van Denburg in Michele Bachmann

The MinnPost did it. The St. Cloud Times did it. Now, Minneapolis/St. Paul Magazine has helped Michele Bachmann score a hat trick of softball interviews in which she gets to say anything she wants without so much as a hint of a challenge from the reporter conducting the interview.

The reporter did ask her about the "bloodier" side of her rhetoric, though. Here's the link:

The story about Arlen Specter asking Michele to behave like a lady is really boring and not as important as the stuff I've just printed here. But editors are putting at the top of the news, so here's the link if you want to read it.
