DescriptionMichele Bachmann fired back at the media Tuesday, saying her Revolutionary War gaffe was only reported because she is a conservative politician.

“We all know there’s a double standard in the media … as we know all 3,400 members of the mainstream media are part of the Obama press contingent,” she told The Laura Ingraham Show.

Over the weekend, Bachmann erroneously placed the battles that started the Revolutionary War in New Hampshire instead of Massachusetts — twice. "You're the state where the shot was heard around the world in Lexington and Concord," she told a Manchester crowd.

Bachmann alleged that the media didn’t make such a fuss when President Obama drastically overstated that 10,000 had died in Kansas tornadoes or said that he visited 57 states on the campaign trail.
