What could explain Barack Obama’s powerful campaign operation better than a social media conspiracy?

On Jan Mickelson’s show on WHO radio Thursday morning, a caller noted that Michele Bachmann was up against a social media-Democratic alliance. The caller said: “Michele Bachmann is up against not only the other candidates, but up against President Obama, who has Facebook, Twitter, Google, and YouTube in its back pocket. I believe that helped him win the last election. No president should have the monopoly of those companies in their back pocket.”

To which Bachmann responded: “I absolutely agree, Jonathan. We have seen, whether it is the head of Facebook or Google, it is clear there is an alliance with the obama administration, as well as with NBC.”
