On Sunday’s Reliable Sources, liberal radio host Bill Press didn’t mince words in discussing Rep. Michele Bachmann‘s (R-MN) presidential aspirations, calling her a “laughingstock.”

Host Howard Kurtz, and panel, wondered if Bachmann’s command of an Iowa audience cut against that notion, and whether sexism is to blame for the gulf in media interest between Bachmann and fellow Minnesotan Tim Pawlenty (R-MN), a notion which Press handily dismissed.

Howard Kurtz rehashed the recent exchanges between Fox News and the White House on Reliable Sources this morning. Former Fox News contributor Jane Hall extended the debate to cable news at large, saying “The reason I left [Fox News] is because I think they have less debate than they used to but it is a fair point to say how much debate is there on MSNBC … we have a bifurcation of the media.”
