Avoiding Criticism: CNN Shuts Down Anti-Tea Party Reporter's Email Address

So, we are all well aware of the so-called "reporter" from CNN, Susan Roesgen whose on-air haranguing of those she was ostensibly reporting on made obvious her anti-Republican bias. Well, for the past day Americans have been emailing her to let her know how they feel about her unprofessional attitude. Apparently, CNN does not appreciate hearing from its viewers, though, because all of a sudden anyone that sends an email to Roesgen's CNN email address will have it returned as address unknown!

We reported on Roesgan's outrageous "interviews" from the Chicago Tea Party later that evening and since the airing of her debating those she was supposed to be reporting on, folks have been jamming CNN's email boxes with complaints.

It is pretty telling that on-air "reporter" Roesgen's email address suddenly returns as address unknown, isn't it? Why is CNN so afraid of hearing from its viewers?

If you'd like to email CNN about its unprofessional "journalists" try these other email addresses:

CNN Executive Vice President Ken Jautz: ken.jautz@cnn.com

Philip Kent, the Chairman & CEO of CNN: phil.kent@turner.com

he was such a venomous *itch.

I think venomous is too strong. I would say angry, arrogant and partisan.

Oh so sorry.

Link: The Daily Show clip show Roesgen hamming it up pretending to work on the levee at Fargo. At the end she wipes her hands and Stewart says, "I can't believe these extras think the cameras are still rolling!" Use your cursor to skip ahead to about 1:25!

This article seems to be wrong. I just sent an email to susan.roesgen@turner.com

I believe that CNN re-activated Roesgen's email sometime over the night. It was clearly not working at least at 6:00 pm yesterday, as I tried to send her an email myself, and received an error message from Turner's server.

Then later that night, I saw the story from Newsbusters and new that mine wasn't an isolated incident. I tried sending another email around midnight EST and it still didn't work. I'm guessing that the other two people who are listed in the Newsbusters story received a large number of emails. That probably compelled the powers-that-be to turn Roesgen's email account back on.
