CNN Chicago Reporter(the rude one)confronted off air by tea protesters(with video)

At today’s Tea Party protest in Chicago, CNN’s Susan Roesgen found herself in some hot water with an angry crowd when she became belligerent with a protester.

CNN shut the segment down quickly, with a few editorial insults toward the Tea Partiers thrown in for good measure.

“I think you get the general tenor of this. It’s anti-government, anti-CNN since this is highly promoted by the right-wing conservative network Fox.”

Founding Bloggers was on the scene, and we have footage of the schooling Susan Roesgen received from angry attendees after she signed off.

She went from a man on the street interview to engaging the guy in a (one sided) discussion.

That's not "reporting". That's opinion. Big difference.

Gee, I guess the curriculum at University schools of Journalism has changed since I took it 30 years ago. Back then, it was GET the story. For this little tart, it was BE the story at the best...PREACH the story at worst.

So unless they’ve changed the definition recently, this was not REPORTING by any measure of the profession.

Amazing how dissent during the Bush years was defended by CNN and now derided.

Yeah, I really felt for him when I watched it. When she mentioned the 400 dollars my mouth dropped. CNN stands by her and said she called it like she saw it.

The VERY best way to deal with CNN is to TURN IT OFF!

Susan reveal her inability to comprehend taxation issues with her remark about Illinois getting $50 billion out of the stimulus package.

[Where does Susan think that money comes from? She apparently thinks it grew on trees or just magically appeared out of Obama’s magic hat.]

And CNN wonders why their ratings are in the crapper...

“Sir, do you realize that youre eligible for a $400 tax credit???!!?!”

Take that tax “credit” and shove it, bitch.

CNN is the mouthpiece of the rats and the Husseins in power. Granted, members of both parties are liable to some degree but just like the two kids blamed for breaking the window, one party is more liable than the other. The mortgage set-up that has busted the system was a government program dreamed up by the RAT party to buy minority votes. Bush spoke out about reforming this taxpayer ripoff back in 2001 and was voted down. Obama was one of the sneaking chicago shysters that threatened law suits against lending agencies reluctant to grant loans to the unqualified—I have heard this crooks comments.

Excellent video! Thank you so much for posting it! Kudos to that woman who took that “reporter” to task!

This needs to be sent to Fox News!

Roesgen accuses the woman of being antagonistic...and that’s exactly what she was when she interviewed the father with the baby.
