Scrubbed! CNN yanking tea party 'embarrassment'

Cable television news network CNN has attempted to block a video on YouTube.com that shows "tea party" protesters in Chicago confronting the network's reporter Susan Roesgen over her allegedly biased and "not fair" coverage of the event.

Members of Founding Bloggers.com were on hand to videotape the crowd's response to Roesgen's report, in which she badgered protesters on air, summarizing her report by describing the tea party as "anti-government, anti-CNN, since this is highly promoted by the right-wing, conservative network Fox."

Roesgen's report included arguments with the tea partiers, tossing out contrary positions and demanding her subjects justify their positions, as well as an antagonistic interview with a protester whose sign read, "Obama is a fascist."

"That's not representative of most of the people out here," charged an unidentified woman after the CNN cameras were turned off. Confronting Roesgen, she added, "You are not talking to regular, mainstream people; you picked people to talk to. … We've watched what you've been doing here, and it's not fair."

The man Roesgen had been interviewing right before CNN's coverage stopped was also captured by the Founding Bloggers camera, saying, "We don't have any respect for CNN, because it doesn't respect us."

When the blog posted the video on YouTube – showing a portion of Roesgen's report, followed by its own footage – however, the clip was scrubbed and replaced with the message, "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Cable News Network, Inc."

What difference does it make?
C.N.N., C.B.S. are garbage and will continue to be.

[FreeSouthernAmerican]

Figures.

[Scanian]

Time was when a “reporterette” like Roesgen would be lucky to get a job doing farm reports in Peoria after her tea party disaster. Now, who knows? Move to MSNBC and get her own show?

[pnh102]

These clips were NOT filmed by CNN. How does CNN have any sort of legitimate “copyright claim” on video that was not filmed by the network?

[IbJensen]

Amazing. The enemies of America (and they are legions) have pulled your link.

CNN finds Ms. Goebbels embarrassing?

But did you catch the hard-hitting CNN segment yesterday on electric bicycles in Washingon, DC? The reporterette was just wetting her pants over the latest “green” innovation for Earth Day.

Their constant drumbeat: “People — don’t look at the fact that the nation is completely melting down with fiscal insanity and driving us to totalitarianism. Instead, look over here and see that we can happily drive to fiscal hell on our new shiny electric bikes.”

I checked just now, it’s working fine...first there is an advertisement; then the video.

[Cindy]

Yep, same video w/o the ad.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

It’s just as well I wasn’t there, she would have been wearing a protest sign in an unusual position! Y’all may have to raise bail for me before this is over!

I’ve downloaded now. Later I will put it on my site. And I will host it until I get arrested. ;)

Susan Roesgen, the CNN reporter who mocked tea party attendees in Chicago, is the same reporter who spread myths about the racially charged “Jena 6″ case in Louisiana, in which six black teenagers were charged with attempted murder for the beating of a white student. The case gained national prominence because of the racial issues involved, and Susan Roesgen was at the center of publicizing the controversy, and perpetuating several myths about it. Roesgen’s bio says that Roesgen became the first national TV reporter to cover the tumultuous “Jena 6″ episode in that Louisiana town. In a piece titled Media Myths About the Jena 6, local reporter Craig Franklin wrote a piece dispelling several myths about the case. The media got most of the basics wrong. In fact, I have never before witnessed such a disgrace in professional journalism. Myths replaced facts, and journalists abdicated their solemn duty to investigate every claim because they were seduced by a powerfully appealing but false narrative of racial injustice. Franklin says he knows this because he is “the only reporter who has covered these events from the very beginning.” It turns out that Roesgen was instrumental in spreading some of these myths. Here is Roesgen’s first video report on the Jena 6 case: http://patterico.com/2009/04/19/roesgen-spread-jena-6-myths/

Its been reported that she twice applied for employment at FOX News and apparently turned down.

Nevertheless, Obama is a fascist.

The textbook definition of Fascism is a totalitarian ideology that seeks to control the means of production. Whereas Communism seeks to own the means of production.

Communism and Fascism are practically identical.

Her reaction lived up to all the bad stereotypes about women. She got emotional, walked away, and made several stereotypical catty female comments like, this is anti-family.

So... I will add one stereotypical comment. She must have slept her way into the job.

[OpusatFR]

Right. CNN put an end that nonsense. Fist-bump.

*Now, how are they going to get a tens of thousands of archived copies of their paid propagandist’s boo-boo?
