The Bachmann campaign issued an email that they said showed bias at the CBS / National Journal debate on Saturday night.

The email, from John Dickerson of Slate and CBS and accidentally copied to a Bachmann staffer, says that the candidate is “not going to get many questions and she’s nearly off the charts.”

Dickerson emailed Politico’s Ben Smith that Bachmann “is at 4% in the polls & has been for a while. Other candidates aren’t. I sent an email based on that.”
