'Anti-CNN' TEA Party Reporter Rejected for Gig at Fox News - Twice

CNN's Susan Roesgen, whose anti-TEA Party pseudo-reporting made her a legend in her own mind, and a biased Obama-flack hack in ours, is in the news on her own (de)merit again today.

One peculiar line from one of her peculiar rant-filled reports was that the TEA Parties were being "anti-CNN" because they were "highly promoted by the right-wing conservative network Fox."

Well it turns out she wasn't always so anti-Fox. According to Gawker, Miss Roesgen not once but twice applied to get a gig at the EEE-vile Murdoch machine.

From the Gawker:

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.

Sour grapes for the Lass, perhaps? It seems the old adage, amended slightly, holds true; Hell hath no fury like a reporter scorned.

Hopefully this wasn't posted before. Search wasn't working.

So she was rejected by the vast RWC. HAHA!!!

Kind of like the scene in “The Graduate” where the older gentleman leans over to Dustin Hoffman and whispers, “Plastics” someone needs to whisper “Implants” to her because that’s the only way she’s going to revive her “journalism” career.

OK, add a brass pole and a DJ.

Everything is clearer now!

I wonder if her masters at CNN know she tried-out for the other team.

More evidence that CNN hires rejects. LOL! Fox saw what an embicile this so-called journalist is.

[San Jacinto]

She’s way too ugly to work at Fox News. Megan Kelly, she ain’t.

Already posted over 10 times, as a search on “Roesgen” will disclose.

CNN’s Susan Roesgen went nuts on the air Wednesday at a Chicago tea party, blaming everything (accurately) on Fox News?

I never heard about the TEA Parties on Fox News. I will admit that I don't watch much TV anymore.

I learned about TEA Parties from watching the Rick Santelli Rant, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEZB4taSEoA , “Mr. President! Are you listening now?

I sent a box of tea within 10 minutes of hearing that rant.

Then on Sweetness and Light, Newsmax, CNS, Free Republic, Savage, WND and Dr. Jack Wheeler the fire was lit.

Everyone thought about a TEA Party at the same time.

So Susan is mealy mouth, mousy haired, idiot savant.

She isn’t Jenna Lee (from FBN) either.

[San Jacinto]

Heck, she ain’t even Lorie Dhue (haven’t seen her in a while, BTW)

[12Gauge687]

Laurie Dhue, sadly, no longer works for Fox News due to a dispute with FNC during renewal of her contract. BTW, Patty Ann Brown is cute, too.

[Capt_Hank]

I still say the worst move for her, was to work with Geraldo “The Fake”. What, pray tell, was she thinking?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

This lady’s world completely crashed on her. She thought she’d be a saint, attending the hottest D.C. or L.A. cocktail parties...but she realizes deep down she’s just a tool. Time for her to quit CNN and become a blogger. Join our cause Susan!
