Based upon her attitude and behavior, this woman is the one with the hate.
I’ve seen several videos of this hack this morning. Even some flaming libs I know said this was horrible journalism.
If this clown still has her job tomorrow, we know CNN has zero credibility.
I think she wants to be the future Mrs. Keith Olbermann. Or at least work for MSNBC.
et, she’d have to be Mr. Kieth Olberduffus. lol
What a tool.
That silly man. Didn’t he realize she was going to ask the questions AND tell him what his answers should be?
What should have been said.. “These tea parties are not sponsored or promoting any single political party… however, from your attitude and tone, it is clear, you are here to promote the Democratic party armed with the Obama talking points they handed you..”
CNN is always consistantly last in the ratings, because they consistantly do not practice journalism! By the way Michelle, what did you ever do to Matt Taibbi? Andrew Sullivan had a quote from Matt that expressed some rather crude remarks regarding you and the tea parties. Decorum however, precludes me from listing them here.
GOD BLESS THEM!!!!! I have been trying to find that idiot’s e-mail address to tell her what I think of her “professionalism”, but Im glad that she got a piece of somebody’s mind. I love how she plays stupid (and gets called on it!) about whether this has been organized to some degree through the internet. This puppet (who is an English major, wow..impressive major for a news reporter) is supposed to be reporting the news, not advocating for the current administration. The MSM?…whores and puppets all.
Don’t hold your breath for CNN to fire her and actually maintain some journalistic standards.
She’s been at this for a while now — look at the gouge MM posted about her involvement with an anti-Bush protest.
And, Rick Sanchez continues to be employed over there, in spite of outrageous lies and complete disregard for the facts.
I actually find it amusing that she has to vent her animosity towards her commercial rival (FOX) on camera, and that they aired it!!
Stay classy, CNN !
With reporters like this nice lady, CNN will continue to lose market share.
If my memory serves me well, I believe Roesgin was a local news anchor here in Little Rock back in the glorious days of Bill Clinton’s governship.
Off-Topic: Corrupt Illinois Congresswoman calls tea-parties “despicable!”.
Do more than a dozen people who arent related to MSMNBC staff and personalities actually watch that network? She’d be better off staying at CNN. At least its broadcast at airport terminals throughout the nations. And CNN was at one time known as the Clinton News Network – Protecting and promoting Bill and Hilary 24/7/365! Its only continued to be the DNC Network since, only now its protecting and promoting TEH ONE 24/7/365.
How long until the protests take place outside of CNN? Atlanta seems the place to be ASAP.
CNN is to Socialism as Sinn Fein is to IRA.
You know, I could have gone a very long time without having to hear or read any of this CNN/Rolling Stone BS…
Nice work, guys! Let’s show the world how cultured, tolerant and open-minded you are, okay? If I want to read filth like this, I might as well read Ariana Huff-n-Puff or the Daily Snoz.
Hmmm…I seem to be “Forbidden” from watching it. Must be something I ate.
As am I. Can’t even bring up their blog aside from the home page.
Not sure if this has been posted yet, but here’s something else that’s
“not fit for family viewing (even though it was on MSNBC of all places)

Good for that woman for standing up to this journalistic hackjob, and good for them for catching that on tape.
Her antagonistic comment reminded me of the one thing I absolutely adore about liberals: their ability to spot any conservative’s hypocrisy, yet total inability to perceive their own.
I think the reporter is confused. The woman is defensive, while the reporter is antagonistic.
All I can say is bravo, bravo, bravo! to the Founding Bloggers team out there in Chicago. Way to do the job the MSM won’t do. And that wonderful woman who took her to task! Articulate, clear, and direct! We could all take lessons from her on how to deal with these goons.
Top notch journalism. Reporter telling the participants what the affair is about and even arguing with them trying to explain it to the participants. Indication of what reportere thinks of the participants intlelligence is that they are too dumb to know what is going on. Obama not the only one with a messiah complex.
From ‘Our Country Deserves Better’–
Our Country Deserves Better Committee are happy to help.
You can write to Ms. Susan Roesgen and express how you feel via her email address here: susan.roesgen@turner.com
AND
So please also write to Philip Kent, the Chairman & CEO of CNN: phil.kent@turner.com
And he-ole Billy- did NOT have sex with that women—Ms. Roesgin.
PMSMNBC, CNN and the old alphabet networks are unwatchable.
Hey people, don’t be so hard on Susan Roesgen. She can’t help it. She’s spent months now playing nice to the Obama administration and stiffling her journalistic curosity. She had to lose control sometime.
So she vented on a two-year old. Would you rather have her lose control at an Obama press conference and actually ask a “real” question? Gasp!
Think what would happen to her career if she dared conduct an interview with someone from the administration with even a hint of antagonism in her voice. She had to vent it somewhere!
We have satellite tv. Today after reading about the clowns at cnn, I called directv to ask if we could sign up for a package that would not include cnn….. Yes, but we would lose many other programs. After discussing why we want cnn out with the very professional and courteous representative, she suggested writing to the station, the FCC and she documented my complaint. She also gave our account a $5 credit for 6 months. The addresses of the chairman of the clowns and susie are above. Please consider writing/calling and lodging a complaint with cnn and your service provider. If cnn is being shown in shopping areas, hospital waiting rooms, doctor/dentist offices, etc complain about it and tell them why. I’ve had enough! Have you?
All schools offering Journalism, English or what ever leads these idiots to reporting, need to change it to a BS in Progressive Public Relations. BS being very appropriate.
When I was a kid, even the liberals reporters attacked the real story.
This is what happens when you over promote self-esteem and everyone gets a trophy.
What the hell happened to hard work and digging for the story? The reporters just spit back White House talking points and press releases.
Roesgin asked the lady
Is she kidding? Does she watch or listen to HERSELF?
Boy, they want mad, they’re going to see it.
floam – Our cable here offers CNN, MSNBC and CNBC on the first tier. To get FOX you have to pay for the 2nd tier. I told them that’s why I wouldn’t have them in my home. I don’t even own a TV anymore. I get my news and watch movies, etc. online.
And CNN wonders why they are at the bottom of the ratings… Gosh, I can’t figure it out!
That so called journalist from CNN wasn’t simply uninformed, she was blatantly stupid. I guess they can’t hire any quality journalists when their ratings are lower than whale manure.
Two words: Keith Olberman.
I am very concerned as to how she got in the two-year-old’s face. That is child abuse in the making.
I had posted a comment on the other thread about this appalling behavior by this so-called reporter.
I was looking over my granddaughter’s shoulder while she was getting on to one of her sites, and saw “CNN reporter harassed by…” on U-Tube. I didn’t have time to read through it as we were on the way out the door, but I was angry all over again.
SHE started it with her attack on an American citizen, continued it by being more confrontational and angry, stabbed her finger at him, insulted him, stormed off in a rage, and made a complete fool of herself.
When is this stupid mainstream media going to accept the fact that half of this country is not left-wing?
I recognize her from her days here in New Orleans. I don’t recall her being so antagonistic back then, and it was only a few years ago. Must be the cold weather up there or maybe she misses Mardi Gras and crawfish. That could turn anyone into a bitter bi***
a slap up the side of the head might wake her up…naw, she’s drunk on kool aid
If CNN was a professional news organization that young “lady” and her cohort Anchorette would both be looking for new jobs today.
When i was a farmer, there was an expression used to convey the idea to leave somebody alone and undisturbed—- based on the practice of feeding our animals: “Let ‘er eat.”
Roesgen should be left alone. Completely. Let ‘er eat.
If ya dont leave her be, then she becomes the “target of right wing hate.” And Roesgen knows this game all to well. She’ll get a promotion. This is her resume builder with BNN, the Banana News Network.
What Roesgen demonstrates in that segment is her ignorance of what makes the USA great. That Dad with his baby on his shoulder comes out to protest peacefully but vehemently about what is on his mind. What is on his shoulder is a good clue Roesgen. But you dont circulate with real people so he just looks like some manipulated individual who is unable, in your view, to make up his own mind to get out of this boiling pot before he croaks.
And then, the gem of the entire clip, was the self-employed woman giving Roesgen a piece of her mind.
Does Roesgen know how many RNC and DNC committee chairs want to know right from the source what is on that woman’s mind? And the know-it-all Mini Hillary “reporter” talks down to her.
That woman is exactly who the federal reps from Illinois need to be hearing from because she is primed to tear all of them a new one.
Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned. Time tested tried and true. But Barry Soetoro never got past his oedipal stage with his Mommy. So the voice of the self-employed woman will fall on deaf ears (sizeable ones at that) because Barry Soetoro’s media handlers are caught up in the same dismissive elitism as Roesgen.
And as their edifice falls short of the mark, this gigantic megalomaniacal financial disaster being passed off as a plan to run the country, as this delusion there is any money left because we’ll pay more taxes to them, these shots across the bow will echo so loudly that only a narcoleptic has been would fail to discern the tragic meanings behind the sounds.
Rush and Savage both said that after Barry Soetoro became the favored candidate (when Hillary’s big money turned against her) the Dhimmicrats were going to blow it because they would overreach.
And here it is: day 80-something and the arm is seemingly made of rubber.
We must work tirelessly and stay in the faces of our elected officials— local, state, and national. We must press the Congress to pass the fair tax. It will give us breathing room. If you dont understand the fair tax, learn. The more I have learned about it the better it seems to offer a solution. And there is broad support in Congress for it. Let’s push it across the goal line.
And the next thing: press for congressional investigations into voter fraud involving ACORN. Prosecute under racketeering laws. It could provide the basis for impeaching Barry Soetoro.
Finally: this blog is full of savvy people. To the underinformed: get your financial house in order to weather the coming inflationary tsunami. You still have some time— but not much.
God Bless America. We can DO this.
Bear1909 out.
The best defense is a strong offense. When a citizen is ANTAGONIZED by a CNN reporter, he/she should say, “I have very strong and valid reasons for being here but why are YOU so threatened by this? Why are YOU so angry about ME being here?”
Having not rehearsed her White House talking points (which would include many uuuhhs and ummmmms) the reporter would be left speechless.
It shouldn’t even have to be a question in the first place! A reporter does a REPORT – lets the viewer know what’s going on. Making yourself part of the story is despicable and high school-level “journalism.”
Floam,
I had DirectTV when I lived in the US. You can get them to give you channels a la carte but you have to be very decisive with them. They will tell you it’s impossible through three layers of “supervisors” but they can and will turn on or off channels one at a time – they just don’t want to.
I’m really impressed with your idea though. That is the only way to let CNN know what the majority (obvious by ratings) of Americans think of them. They must give foreign hotels a huuuuge discount because it’s usually the only English network running over here. I read a lot of books now.
Would love to be a fly on the wall at the CNN editing room.
Wanna bet that 90% of this morons interviews end with the subject telling her what an idiot she is?
Unless of course she is fist-bumping a like-minded soul who is another libdrone.
Sorry, self-edit – moron’s
Note to self: more coffee, more use of preview function.
I’m more concerned about the carbon footprint of her hair-do.
She clearly hates the children.
Conservative in Europe–#41
Thanks for the tip–will try again today with directv. Have you considered asking the hotel owner/manager to add Fox News to their program selections? I’m assuming you’re getting current news via the internet.Isn’t it great?
Having asked that,reading is relaxing most of the time and there are some excellent books written by conservatives that are well worth the read.
According to Newsbusters.org, the Communist News Network has shutdown her e-mail because she was getting too many complaints.
They, however, list CNN’s executive vice presidents, and CNN’s CEOs e-mails if we want to send them our complaints.
I have one suggestion for them:
Get better looking women, like FOX has.
And the only way to get that would be from the conservative side.
Was she one of the many who chased a dollar bill on a string thru a trailer park?
The people were nuts, the CNN segment got that right. The man with the kid said Obama was destroying freedom by having taxes. Well, we’ve had taxes from the beginning. We vote for taxes. If you don’t want to pay, move to Luxembourg.
if this is what passes for a reporter at cnn, it explains a lot. she even had a mandatory hysterical drama moment at the end, when hyperventilating over the anti everything crowd.
The way to deal with CNN is to shun them at any future tea parties. If they show up, turn your back on them and refuse to be interviewed. That is an easy price to exacts. Also, if CNN contacts a tea party organizer to set up at a location, indicate to CNN that they are not welcome until a corporate apology is issued on the air — and, therefore, there will be no special accommodations given. They will, of course, protest that their freedom of the press rights have been violated, but they have no specific right to demand anything where freedom of speech and assembly is guaranteed to every American. Obviously other things can be done, like a flash mob clogging a CNN parking lot, but that is kind of childish and too much like the anti-war nuts.
I get a chuckled from some of the trolls who post hear. The guy being interviewed by Susan of CNN talked about Lincoln and was interrupted before he finished. It was Susan of CNN who interjected tax and spend into the interchange.
Why? Geithner didn’t have to and look how far he’s come w/ a Democrat in the WH.
lgm,
At the risk of wasting my breath…
We do not vote for taxes since we live in a contrived Democracy and not true Democracy. If so, then the one person – one vote rule would wipe out about every tax there was.
You are also making terrible assumptions as this CNN reporter does. It is apparent she grabbed an interview of someone who would perpetuate her conclusions rather than be a cross-sectional sample of the group.
People who do not want the excessive burdens of overtaxation tend to be fiscally conservative as they work hard for their money and do not wish to see it wasted by an inefficient government. This does not make them Republicans as there are many fiscal conservatives in the ranks of the Democrats. The idea of Democrat vs. Republican comparing directly to liberal vs. conservative is silly and disingenuous.
Unfortunately, those who want to dwell and grab power in D.C. do not want the general public to think this way. Their goal is to obsfucate and misdirect the American populace. This is how they gain and maintain power.
If you wish to spew negative criticisms and talking points from extreme leftists, feel free to do so. There are an equal number of those on the extreme right. The rest of America is going to search for answers that will reduce the burden placed on the citizenry to help the egomaniacs in Washington that wish to be king.
Floam,
If you asked a hotel in Europe to show Fox, they wouldn’t know what you meant. The Brits have Sky news and Murdoch owns them both. Sky is the Brit version of DirectTV and they have Fox but only bars carry Sky outside of the UK. It’s the only way Brits can watch Manchester United fans beat up AC Milan fans without actually going to the match.
What the Euros consider “conservative” we would think of as just to the left of center. What scares me about the direction the Obama administration is taking us is the demonization of conservative groups as “far right extremists” – meaning we disagree with them. In Europe, they have almost eliminated true conservative thought by banning conservative organizations. Over the last 60 years, this has resulted in the destruction of true conservative organization and thus marginalizing freedom.
This is what Ole Blue Lips and his European Wannabe band of nutjobs wants for the rest of us: To eliminate organized Conservative politics by decree and ensure perpetual socialist mediocrity. That very situation has evolved here since the end of the war.
I have been concentrating on all the classics I should have read in college but didn’t. Halfway through “The Count of Monte Cristo” now.
Conservative in Europe,
Good post…
Have you ever studied any of the early multicultural literature. There is a constant harping on Europeans as the main source of suppressing others and their cultures. That they perpetuated imperialism and slavery.
Now that Obama’s group is in power, well…
“Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss” – Pete Townshend
Cabrerski,
Trust me, the British are the greatest self loathers on Earth. Like all good Liberals, however, they want to make things right as long as it doesn’t inconvenience them or move in to their neighborhood.
You are right, the Early multicultural literature blamed Europeans. Now, they all blame Bush administration America.
c-i-e,
Thanks. Keep reading the classics. We need a sense of history to deal with the problems of the future.
I sometimes wonder why the new liberals like to call themselves progressives. Probably because it allows them to activate new solutions without considering all the past similar attempts that failed.
It’s because “liberal” has a negative connotation. They came up with “progressive” because it doesn’t sound like “liberal”.
