The last time we saw CNN correspondent Susan Roesgen, she was arguing with folks at the April 15 Tea Party in Chicago claiming the event was "anti-government, anti-CNN [and] highly promoted by the right-wing conservative network Fox." Although CNN officials won't blame the decision specifically on this event, the network has decided not to renew her contract. All together now: Aaaaaawwww.

Thursday, July 16, 2009 Breaking: Nasty Chicago Tea Party-Basher Susan Roesgen Out at CNN Susan Roesgen, the CNN reporter who attacked Tea Party protesters on the air at a Chicago rally, was canned by the liberal network this week. Buh-Bye Flying Debris was there and took this photo of Susan lecturing the right-wing extremists on the Dear Leader's many virtues. TV Newser reported: Breaking: TVNewser has learned CNN correspondent Susan Roesgen's contract will not be renewed and she will be leaving the network. Roesgen, you'll recall, was criticized for her coverage at the tax day tea parties in April, when...

What a sad day...This left wing hack posing as a reporter is out at CNN..

Breaking: TVNewser has learned CNN correspondent Susan Roesgen's contract will not be renewed and she will be leaving the network. Roesgen, you'll recall, was criticized for her coverage at the tax day tea parties in April, when she said the event she was covering in Chicago was, "anti-CNN since this is highly promoted by the right-wing, conservative network Fox." Roesgen took a break for a few weeks after that reporting and returned to the air in May covering the Drew Peterson arrest. Most recently, she covered Michael Jackson's death from Los Angeles. Roesgen joined CNN in 2005.

Fresh off her "vacation"(yeah right) Disgraced "reporter" Susan Roesgen makes a return on CNN, this from today, Roesgen was in Joliet reporting for CNN's Chicago bureau...

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:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXPKIgUZOPs Great Interview!

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper interspersed "teabagging" references with analyst David Gergen's more staid commentary on how Republicans are still 'searching for their voice.' "It's hard to talk when you're teabagging," Cooper explained. Gergen laughed..."

Newsbusters was all over CNN's Fox News-bashing, Tea-Party-bashing, ordinary-American bashing "reporter" Susan Roesgen. First, the video of her "reporting" - which was in the form of Roesgen attempting to undermine and refute the thousands of tea partiers rather than simply reporting on the event: For all of her bashing of Fox News as some "rightwing conservative" (and therefore presumably illegitimate) entity, Susan Roesgen had personally TWICE applied with Fox. Maybe her issues with Fox are more psychological and personal than journalistic? Now for some of the Newsbusters piece: CNN's Fox-Bashing/Fox-Job Applying Roesgen 'Tak(ing) a Break' By Seton Motley April 17,...

Two days after Susan Roesgen's much talked-about Chicago Tea Party live shots, we are learning more about what happened off-camera. Sources close to the situation tell TVNewser as Roesgen was reporting her 2pmET live shot for CNN, she heard shouts from the crowd including "Damn CNN" and "Shut up, bitch." As we now know, Roesgen wrapped up the live shot, saying "I think you get the general tenor of this," that it was "not really family viewing" from an "Anti-CNN" crowd. Our source says Roesgen received an avalanche of email messages, some supportive, and some "vitriolic with crude insults." CNN...

CNN's Susan Roesgen has had a rough week, what with all the ordinary American/First Amendment practitioners bashing she so passionately and obnoxiously delivered in her TEA Party reporting. Perhaps it was the sniping at the place she twice applied in 2005 - Rupert Murdoch's House of Ratings, otherwise known as Fox News - that put her over the edge. Or whether or not her email box was so overwhelmed with what was undoubtedly an endless stream of love letters and fan mail that it caused a server meltdown. Whatever it was, CNN has announced that Miss Roesgen's "tak(ing) a break."...

Disgraced reporter and Obama stenographer Susan Roesgen goes on a "previously planned" (yeah right) vacation. After what she did at the Chicago Tea Party I would go on vacation too.

CNN's Susan Roesgen went nuts on the air Wednesday at a Chicago tea party, blaming everything (accurately) on Fox News. But maybe she was angry because Fox turned her down for a job—twice!

Matthew posted earlier about the remarkably unprofessional behavior of CNN’s Susan Roesgen at the Chicago Tea Party yesterday. Founding Bloggers was at the scene after one of the tapings ended and found participants calling out Roesgen on her misrepresentation of the event. And yes, the clip is “family viewing,” despite what CNN would have you believe.

CNN's Susan Roesgen went nuts on the air Wednesday at a Chicago tea party, blaming everything (accurately) on Fox News. But maybe she was angry because Fox turned her down for a job—twice! Roesgen got snippy with a crazy interviewee while trying to cover the tea partiers, and the crowd turned on her. "I think you get the general tenor of this," she said. "It's anti-government, anti-CNN since this is highly promoted by the right-wing conservative network Fox." Back in 2005, though, according to a Fox News source, Roesgen really wanted to work for that right-wing conservative network. She sent...

When thousands of people in all 50 states assemble to protest government policy, you might suppose that this is news. Not according to the coverage on the front pages of the Washington Post, New York Times, or the Wall Street Journal. The "tea party" rallies went unmentioned. In Washington, D.C., despite temperatures in the 40s and a driving rainstorm, about a thousand demonstrators assembled across from the White House. The front page of the Times found space for a big story with accompanying pictures of competing public demonstrations in Kabul, Afghanistan, but not a word about the American protestors. Perhaps...

... Founding Bloggers was on the scene, and we have footage of the schooling Susan Roesgen received ... after she signed off.

So, we are all well aware of the so-called "reporter" from CNN, Susan Roesgen whose on-air haranguing of those she was ostensibly reporting on made obvious her anti-Republican bias. Well, for the past day Americans have been emailing her to let her know how they feel about her unprofessional attitude. Apparently, CNN does not appreciate hearing from its viewers, though, because all of a sudden anyone that sends an email to Roesgen's CNN email address will have it returned as address unknown! We reported on Roesgan's outrageous "interviews" from the Chicago Tea Party later that evening and since the airing...

By now, pretty much everyone's seen CNN's Susan Roesgen at the Chicago TEA Party, basically doing her job of framing the TEA Parties as not family-friendly, and making the attendees look as "fringe" as possible. Right after the clip you SAW was an exchange you DIDN'T see. As seems to so often be the case with the mainstream media, the clip you DIDN'T see was far more representative of what was going on than the clip you DID see. Luckily a group called the Founding Bloggers was on the scene and captured it all for our viewing pleasure.
