Fox-Bashing CNN Reporter Applied for a Job at Fox ( tea partiers )
Gawker ^ | Apr 17 2009 | John Cook

Posted on 04/17/2009 7:49:59 AM PDT by george76

CNN's Susan Roesgen went nuts on the air Wednesday at a Chicago tea party, blaming everything (accurately) on Fox News. But maybe she was angry because Fox turned her down for a job—twice!

Roesgen got snippy with a crazy interviewee while trying to cover the tea partiers, and the crowd turned on her. "I think you get the general tenor of this," she said. "It's anti-government, anti-CNN since this is highly promoted by the right-wing conservative network Fox."

Back in 2005, though, according to a Fox News source, Roesgen really wanted to work for that right-wing conservative network. She sent a tape of her on-air work to Fox's then-programming chief Kevin Magee in January 2005, and followed up with another reel to Magee's successor Bill Shine in September 2005. Needless to say, she didn't get the gig.

Roesgen would be perfect as a sub for Maddow at NBC.

Well, it’s Gawker.

Quoting Abraham Lincoln is a sure sign of mental derangement. It’s the first thing people do when they go into the manic phase of bipolar.

I was always thought that journalism needed to be objective and neutral, tell the facts, and let the people decide. She obviously aready had decided..and was looking for people to support her slant....GO CNN>

A classic :" A party by Obama bashers... do you know the state of Lincoln gets 50B out of stimulus??" , that no good FNC LOL

It's On! Showdown Between CNN Reporter & Chicago Tea Party Guests

My only suggestion is these people need to make sure they point out republicans were bad , but Democrats are even worse, it will give them more credibility(like Beck and Cavuto do.) .

ROFLMAO! That explains a lot.

Maybe Suzie would have gotten the job if she was a reporter instead of an opinion with a microphone.

Why is the guy being described as “crazy”? As if I should even bother asking....

That is the type of emotion we should be cultivating.

Wasn’t she the chick who got blitzed on booze, and was shaking her bare boobs for a camera? Why would Fox hire someone who has no power of discernment? It would increase their vulnerability to criticism; that’s all they need.

Besides, she seems infinitely stupid and unhinged. Fox infobabes (and I mean that in the best possible way) have brains besides besides.

But trying to impersonate Lincoln like Obama has done for the last year is ok with libtards....LOL

Refresher Journalism 101 for Roesgen:

When the reporter becomes part of the story, he/she is no longer a journalist.

She's too much of a hot head.

A good reporter must be able to control his/her emotions and leave their personal bias at home.

That's not fair or accurate. If any one individual is responsible for this phenomena it would be Rick Santelli's Shout Heard 'Round the World.

She made a fool out of herself during the tea party interview. She acted like a raving lunatic. The guy with the baby tried to answer her question, and she started freaking out like she was being attacked by bees. People around her must have thought (knew) she was crazed.

That CNN hasn’t fired Roesgen for being an idiot and an embarrassment says a lot about their lack of journalistic integrity. Roesgen isn’t fit to read the hog markets on some AM station in the sticks.

Something does need to be said here and it is a warning for any of you who bring posters to a protest.

Whatever you write you own. If you say Bambi is a Fascist, you better have facts to back it up. Conservatives don’t go on emotion. We go on facts. Which leads me to believe that the first protester with the Obama is a Fascist sign was a plant.

Just so happens Rosege found the one protester out of thousands who could only come up with, “He’s a Fascist because he’s a Fascist.” How about he’s a Fascist because his administration is taking over businesses? How about he’s a Fascist because he is shutting down free speech and denigrating religion and the opposition?

The fact that this protester couldn’t even come up with those points leads me to believe that he was a plant.

I never heard about the TEA Parties on Fox News. I will admit that I don't watch much TV anymore. But, I learned about TEA Parties from watching the Rick Santelli Rant, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEZB4taSEoA , “Mr. President! Are you listening now?

I sent a box of tea within 10 minutes of hearing that rant.

Then on Sweetness and Light, Newsmax, CNS, Free Republic, Savage, WND and Dr. Jack Wheeler the fire was lit.

Everyone thought about a TEA Party at the same time.

So Susan is mealy mouth, mousy haired, idiot savant.

Cook is an idiot and Roesgen should become a professor at Evergreen State College in WA state and teach the masses how to protest in front of bulldozers.
