CNN Chicago Reporter(the rude one)confronted off air by tea protesters(with video)
Founding Bloggers ^ | 16APR09 | Founding Bloggers

Posted on 04/16/2009 9:37:32 AM PDT by Bush Revolution

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.

The gentleman was trying to make the point that controlling a persons income is controlling the person. She missed the point completely. Essentially she told him, “You're going to get a handout, what are you complaining about?.” Like P.J. O’Rourke said, “It's the ultimate scam, you bribe people with their own money.”

CNN stands by her and said she called it like she saw it.

That's the attitude that has them plummeting in the ratings.

The video of this idiot "reporter" -- propagandist, I mean -- is all over the place now, and other media outlets seeking not to be tarred with the same brush are taking her on.

My guess is she'll be fired. And quick. Even the dimwits at CNN can see she's little more than an unprofessional, shrill beeyotch, and very bad for business.

She also must not have or know any children. The baby was not a “Two Year Old”.

Fantastic, thanks for posting!

Unfortunately, for some, this is partisan. They’ve been duped by their own ideology. And they showed up at these rallies to show their ignorance (and of course the mainstream media will only show them).

The woman in the tape was right, it’s about CONGRESS, and both parties in it not representing the views of millions of their constituents.

That woman on the tape was well spoken. She needs some national air play a la Joe the Plumber. We need more people like her who GET IT.

It’s not about Obama. It’s about a corrupt system that’s been in place for a long time.

She’s a typical reporter - first class liar.

I was so angry when I saw the initial video of that CNN reporter with the child. The CNN studio woman was as contemptible as the reporter in the crowd. She absolutely dripped with sarcasm and disdain for the likes of ordinary law-abiding American citizens.
I am so happy to see this new clip of the woman who took the reporter to task. The woman in the black coat looked like a nice person and not an extremist....of course, the guy with the child looked like a really good guy, as well. At first, I thought it was my sister-in-law who was at the rally and she would have been equally up to the task of taking the reporter to task since she worked for two of the three big networks in her youth, as well as WGN. She knows their tricks and she isn't intimidated by them.
I think that the leftists believe that we should look something like the cavemen in the GEICO commercials. When we look like them, it is threatening. It doesn't fit into their preconceived notions of the demon we are in their heads.
Anyway, I was thrilled to see the expanded version of the clip. We need to document our side at every opportunity. We need to counteract their lies and dialogue against us.

It's a good thing that I wasn't there - I'd have been really tempted to knock that braindead worthless (c-word) from CNN on her money-makin butt. What a snarky little twerp - wouldn't let the guy finish a sentance. She had already made up her mind what the protest was about, and wasn't going to let anybody tell her otherwise.

She represents the exact reason that the mainstream media is no longer trusted.

The left, especially their talking heads in the media, are bent on portraying us as extremists, instead of decent reasonable people who happen to believe in the Founding principles. Our movement is gaining ground and they are worried, so THIS is the tactic they have chosen to fight us.

We were in Atlanta last night along with 20,000 (!) other folks. We are going to win America!

She should have been tarred and feathered. I’d love to see her on air today with a shaved head and eyebrows.

Actually, the guy who said, in the original interview, that politicians should all be elected for one term only is absolutely right. There should be no such thing as a career politician. How much better would all of us feel if we knew that at any given time the government that we have would only be temporary, for at most 6 years? How much better off would we be if 10 people had served instead of one Barney Frank? Turnover is essential. It keeps people honest. Maybe the Presidency should also be one six year term, with a referendum after 4 years to decide if they get to finish out their term.

I can’t remember the last time I had CNN on. Oh yeah, I do, it was to watch Glenn Beck when he had a show on that network.
