Hot Air ^ | April 22, 2009 | ED MORRISSEY

Danny Glover continues looking at the strange debate that Susan Roesgen initiated at the Chicago Tea Party while she was supposed to be covering it, and reports for Accuracy in Media that even her colleagues in the media think she crossed the line. Former CNN reporter Eileen O’Connor, who now trains people to work in national media, says that Roesgen owes an apology to her interview subjects for rudeness and unprofessional behavior:

I still think she was drunk or high. That could explain her leave of absence. Detox or AA.

It would never be sincere even if it were ever offered. I prefer things the way they are - she is a cold, unremitting be-otch who carries her prejudice around like a storm cloud.

"Roesgen should apologize"

Fuggeddabouddit. I'm tired of hearing Liberals apologize. They do so in a condescending manner, and the apologies are meaningless.

The only "apology" they know how to deliver is, "I'm sorry, but you're wrong". That's not an apology.

I’m with you let them keep their damn apology and let’s see another 100,000 viewers or more got to Fox!

Who gives a rip about CNN anyway. It is a mortally damaged ship and sinking. CNN is trying everything to stay alive, including any rope-a-dope tactic it is allowed to conduct. No news here, it is CNN at its worse..........every day.

CNN has been running to the left since MSNBC started beating them in the ratings. It's about the stupidest tactic they could devise, but it's certainly not surprising. The left’s answer to failure is always to go farther left.

she should be fired, thats what a non-bias media would do. She don’t belong in this profession. She should either work at Comedy Central with Stewart and shill for Obama or run for Congress

Women are taking over the media. Women defend their nests - with great emotion.

Problem: Young, inexperienced girl who had been rejected twice by FOX, had a grudge. Then assigned by CNN to job of reporting on a sensitive event probably on a day when she got her "present" from Mother Nature. Gee, they should have known better at CNN.

Girls nowadays are used to being treated like little "princesses," and allowed to behave in disrespectful ways. Plus, they have been given every allowance when their hormone levels make them cranky. It's only Fair!!! Whaa, whaa, whaa.

Poor child...that excuse always worked before while in college and with Mommy and Daddy. Out in the "real world," girls like this cannot change their ways so quickly and have not learned how to control themselves and be grown-up professionals. They have been so pampered they think they can be snarky and everyone will tolerate it. Doncha know - they are the new breed of kids from college who want the big people's jobs...but feel they can exercise control by acting like ignorant little children.

I’ve long ago gotten tired of people demanding that others apologize for things. What’s the point? Apologies are not the same thing as asking for forgiveness, which, from the heart, is what is called for in most of these situations.

Things like this will see to it that CNN goes from 3 channels to one someday while they and MSNBC continue to fight for the less than million viewers that they share.

. . . or as Mr. Obama puts it, "I'm sorry that every POTUS in history has been wrong but me."

No need to apologize. Just resign and never work as reporter again.

IF she does, she will say that she is sorry if anyone was offended by her remarks. Just another non-apoloby apology.
