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.

I’m glad Fox turned her down! They don’t need that lousy-excuse-for-a-reporter!

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

The article states:

And now we know why.

CNN’s theme:

Thank goodness she didn’t! What a witch. I sent CNN an email about her last night. She was immature and unprofessional.

“A crazy interviewee...”

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.

Guess she didn’t have what it takes to be a member of the network that blows away the competition on a weekly basis.

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.) .

I think she should go apply again. Her face is better known since the Tea Party coverage.
