[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.

I understand, FRiend.

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head about what is going on with the MSM. They no longer reports news, they report what they believe to be stories and as this video clearly shows most of it is made up to fit what they *think*.

[edit] Admits lobbying and minimizing atrocities

In April 2003, Eason Jordan, CNN's chief news executive, wrote an op-ed in the New York Times stating that he had lobbied the Iraqi government for 12 years in order to maintain a CNN presence in Iraq.

He also admitted to withholding what would be considered newsworthy information of the government's atrocities, citing fears that releasing news would potentially endanger the lives of Iraqis working for CNN in Baghdad, some of whom had already been subject to beatings and torture. [8]

[edit] Resignation after accusations by blogger In February 2005,

Jordan resigned from CNN.

The resignation came in response to controversy sparked after bloggers wrote that, at the recent World Economic Forum, Jordan had seemed to accuse the U.S. military of having purposely killed journalists.

While Jordan acknowledged his remarks were not sufficiently clear, he denied that this was what he had meant to imply, saying that he had "great admiration and respect for the men and women of the U.S. armed forces."[21]

Lest we forget CNN is our enemy.

amen

[who knows what evil?]

I just watched it...hope Beck and Limbaugh pick up on this ‘aftermath’ video...

[demsux]

Did you watch the whole video? They pointed out her bias.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Not family viewing?......Yeah, and Gay parades in S.F. at 6:00 p.m. are?....What whack left garbage!

[pepperhead]

Woohoo a $400 tax credit!

Meanwhile people lost a good portion their retirement in the stock market. The government keeps spending money they don't have, thus devaluing the dollar. And the federal reserve keeps printing money, once again devaluing the dollar.

Those CNN people just don't get it.

Wish I could say the same. That sounds just about on par for USC’s Journalism 190 class 20 years ago. (Any surprise that they awarded Katie Couric for “national impact” on the election?) What stunned me is the apparent age of this woman. After hearing the audio, I expected to see a kid of about 22. I am surprised that a mature woman acted like that....very unprofessional.

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

I have a leftie friend who "debated" that way with me (or tried to).

He made his point, I tried to respond but he shouted me down before I could complete a sentence. It's standard Democrat MO.

So now I only engage him by email which enables me to complete my argument, which he usually has no answer for.

Instead of shouting me down, he now responds with "I haven't got time for all this" or he responds with a ridiculous, unsubstantiated, talking point generality.

He's never won a debate with me yet.

We can only wish that some sgt some where in Iraq said to a CNN journalist,”You want me to take a picture? Sure, sure...now just step a lttle closer to that wire....closer...closer...”

CNN is not a objective place to get the news and this "reporter" just continues to prove the point. She has her view and nobody is going to say anything against it.

Major props to the woman who took the reporter-ette to task after the cameras were off. She called attention to the "Republicans Suck..." sign and asked why that person wasn't chosen to speak. Reporter-ettes response, "Not in our field of view" - Guess the camera guy couldn't move!

[pepperhead]

the CNN scank, who you can tell is an arrogant, elitist, is incensed that some of the signs called zero the anti-Christ....

Those signs could have been made by ACORN people. And even it they were not, you can't blame everyone there for one sign.

HAHAHAHAHAHHHAAHAHAHHAHHAHAHA!!!!!!!

Thank you for this.
I’m surprised it’s not everywhere by now.

[longtermmemmory]

given how the women went off a bit on the “federal reserve” business it might be a bit hard.

We need sound bites for the CNNidiots

IOW Taxation is destroying America, Obama is destroying by taxation.

Yeah, I love that line “..do you realize you’re eligible for a $400 tax credit...” What freakin’ moron this reportette is.

How about the fact that it was my money to begin with?! I earned it! What, am I supposed to forget that other taxes and fees are going up around me all the time (I live in NY.

Am I supposed to forget that taxpayer dollars are being spent without respect for taxpayers? Am I supposed to feel OK about various pork projects because ‘that’s how Washington works’. BS. Total BS.

[CindyDawg]

The protesters showed a lot of class towards this woman (I refuse to call her a reporter) who obviously has no manners.
