What CNN Didn't Show of Roesgen's Chicago Tea Party Interviews

Photo of Noel Sheppard.

CNN's coverage of Wednesday's Chicago Tea Party, and in particular, Susan Roesgen's despicable performance, might end up being the lowlight in how the press reported yesterday's historic protests.

Yet, there's much more to this story.

Members of FoundingBloggers.com continued to videotape Roesgen after her much-publicized argument with a Party-goer, and you'll be surprised at what transpired (video embedded below the fold h/t NBer Blazer, vulgarity warning):

That CNN pseudo-journalist

is just brimming over with attitude.  She has a lot of nerve accusing someone of being antagonistic.

CNN reporter was correct

It was anti-government and anti-Obama started by Fox News and their ilk. I just watched the supposed 'schooling' of this reporter. The lady 'said' it wasn't just about democrats and pointed to a sign that said they wanted Republicans out. Well, goody. But what you don't see is Bush being compared to Hilter, the anti-christ, or Mao. You didn't see Republican congressmen or women on signs with the phrase, "hang em' high". You saw the the opposite. And where was the SAME outrage when BUSH started bailing out banks? When Bush and Congress were doing the spending??

Fox News promoted these tea parties, blatantly. One anchor came right out and used the word 'promote'. HELLO??

You want to attack her for being out of line...where is the outrage when a FOX reporter who said, "When are we going to wake up and start fighting the facsism that seems to be permeating this country?"

So, no, this wasn't a non-partisan protest. That is as plain as the nose on your face. Those tea parties were a joke. They were for the nutjobs at Fox (Beck, Cavuto, Hannity, etc) to advance THEIR agenda by fooling these people with LIES.

We have a liberal passed out from too much kool-aid on the CNN blog.

 

I hope he fails, too.

 

 

jen7 ~ You finally unmask yourself. I guess I didn't see that

coming, but hats off to those who picked up on this way before I did.

  Fox new's decided to

 
Jen,
Fox new's decided to cover these event's and give them fair creedence rather than paint these folk's as anti-government and un-patriotic like the leftist outlet's have done. Also Fox has pundit's that parlay to the right just like CNN and MSNBC has those who parlay to the left.The difference is you actually get a counterpoint on Fox where you get mostly none from the other network's.

I was at a protest in Richmond, Va. yesterday and I can tell you that as much blame was put on Republican's for this fiasco as Democrat's. One speaker wrapped up by saying Throw them out !! Throw them all out !! and the crowd reacted in kind.

One Republican running for AG was passing out campaign flier's and was frowned upon for pandering and quickly left.

With that said, did you attend one yesterday ? Or does Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow or Air America tell you what to think? Also are you totally convinced that all of these folk's were conservatives, because I spoke personally with several folk's who identified themselves as liberal's who were sick and tired also.One African American gentlemen was holding a sign that said I Now Know What Buyer's Remorse Is, Sorry Guy's Won't Happen Again. Another African American gentleman had a sign that said Don't Blame Me I voted For The Chic.

I think what's stuck in your craw the most is the fact that half of America ain't rollin' over for your lord and savior. We had to hear for eight year's how dissent was patriotic even when our very flag was being burned. Now these same bozo's are saying we are un-patriotic right wing extremist's just because we don't support their guy.

Please spare me any moral equivocation you may have.

Don't lie. The only people who equated conservatives with right-wing extremists....ARE CONSERVATIVES. They ran with it and now they look stupid.

These 'bozos' are pointing out the double standard. They were deemed un-patriotic at a time of war. But look, we are still at war and now that there's a democrat in office....it's different.

I could care less if you guys 'aint rollin' over'. You obviously didn't vote for Obama. But I won't sit by and let you guys LIE and insinuate.

Its pathetic the way you

Its pathetic the way you accuse these people of being fox drones when the fact is painfully clear that you yourself are an msnbc/cnn/kos/huffpo drone that did not bother to go see a tea party protest for yourself. You have no clue who was there, what the signs said, or what the people said. All you know is what your left wing news outlets want you to know.

Face it, Jen, you lefties are just cheesed off because...

...the resistence to the fascist Obamanista regime is beginning to take off.

Did you and your fellow freedom-hating totalitarians really think that we who actually care about our hard-won freedoms and liberties were just going to roll over and allow these putrid Marxists to take away that which we hold dear?

-Dave

This coup has gone on long enough. The time to put it down is NOW.

  Right Jen, right,

 
Right Jen, right, burning our flag and our president in effigy is very patriotic. Care to guess how many times that happened yesterday at the tea-parties?

With that said, the first amendment protect's the right to public display's of dissent, but does not regulate good taste, of which most leftist's have no idea of what good taste and class is.

I think we not only proved yesterday that we have the ability to organize and protest too, much to your chagrin, but that we are also better people and have more class.

Your right, I didn't vote for your rightous healer, because quite simply, anyone who is a student of Saul Alinsky a known communist, a friend of Bill Ayres a known terrorist, and a parrishoner of Rev. Wright a known racist, ain't all that patriotic. Not voting for him, very patriotic.

Since your so taken aback by all of us right-wing extremist's and liar's, why even bother to engage us ? Your not going to win any convert's here and are liable to wind up with an excruciating headache from banging your head against the wall.

Just the same anytime you feel like having tea, stop on in. : )

NEWSFLASH: Bush isn't

NEWSFLASH: Bush isn't president anymore, his administration is gone.

Time to face a horrifying fact...

 If it was so non-partisan, Bush and his congress would have been taking  just as much heat, if not more, then Obama. You didn't see that.  Unfortunately for you, your object of hatred that you are so obsessively devoted to is no longer in office.  Sure, I suppose the Tea Parties could have been a Four Hours Hate for Bush (an event which would have given you an overwhelming orgasm, no doubt), but fact is, he is no longer in office. 

If your God, His Majesty The Shahinshah wanted to avoid being a subject of the Tea Parties, perhaps He could have said "no" to the "stimulus" package.  But He did not.  Now, face the consequences. 

Hmmmm...I don't know if a Leftist like you can possibly understand what "face the consequences" means.  That's like trying to explain a Leftist that bizarre concept called "personal responsibility".

The one missing the point accusing ME of missing the point???

 So what? He started the bailouts. And if these people are SO angry about bigger government, then it should be directed at Bush as well.  Sweetie, it is YOU that is missing the point. 

What would protesting your Divine Object of Hatred (apologies to Henry Rollins) accomplish?  Unfortunately for you, and apparently you need this hammered into that incredibly thick skull of yours over and over and over again, Bush is not in office. 

I did what I could while he was in office by writing my Rep and Senators.  I bitched endlessly here about his spending as did others.  And we could STILL do that.  But it won't do a bit of good, as he is no longer the President.

Unless you are working on a time machine, or can point to me some mysterious clause of Artlce II of the Constitution that lends some form of power or authority to an ex-president, then you are out of luck.  We get to blame the CURRENT occupant of the White House, and if that happens to be His Majesty The Shahinshah, whom you worship the way North Koreans worship the Kim dynasty...so be it.  You and Him can BOTH grow up then.

Stop fighting the change Jen

And if these people are SO angry about bigger government, then it should be directed at Bush as well.

What part of the sign in the video that says; "Republicans Suck Too" is hanging you up Jen?

Obama promised he was going to unite all Americans and yet you keep fighting him on that change.  Why do you want to keep making this a partisan issue Jen?  If not for fear of Napolitano, then for the love of hope, stop embarrassing Obama with your persistant partisanship.

Bush didn't take heat?

You said:

If it was so non-partisan, Bush and his congress would have been
taking  just as much heat, if not more, then Obama. You didn't see that.

I saw Bush's Limo pelted with snow balls ON THE WAY TO his inauguration.  I saw Obama cheered at his while Bush was still getting boo'd.  Bush was constantly bashed on CNN, MSNBC, ABCNews, CBSNews and even FoxNews to a lesser extent (only because Fox aired Bush's side as well).  I saw signs of Bush with NAZI symbols and a Hitler mustache at every protest.  What I have never seen is any reporter from CNN putting a political tag on any protest before this one.  I never heard them say at a MoveOn sponsored rally that it was a "liberal dominated event promoted by MSNBC". 

 

Granted, many of these people at the protest saw the treatment Bush received for eight years and are anxious to give some of it back, but they are not the majority. And yes, there are some "right wing extremists" at these rallies as well, but were there not real-life Communist an anarchist groups at the war protests?  Did you ever see MSNBC or CNN at the "World Worker Party" booths asking questions?  No!  Of course not.

So please, spare me the Bush and Republicans didn't receive any heat BS.  Not only have they received extreme heat for the past eight years, the people at these TEA parties are not giving them any slack either.  Even Glenn Beck said on stage to applause, "These people are here because Democrats suck!  Republicans suck also, no less than the Democrats."

Did you go to the tea parties?  I didn't think so.  This wasn't about Fox News. They might have spread the word about the tea parties, but it takes people being really upset to get them off of their butts and out to the protest. There were thousands of people who have never been to another protest.  

 The protest in my town was organized by a person who actively worked for Hillary Clinton.  And we had over 2,000 people at the rally. She didn't get any money from anyone, donations were taken at the rally to pay expenses for sound equipment other expenses.  

You my friend are the one that has been handled and brain washed by the media.

So much propaganda so little time

 It was anti-government and anti-Obama started by Fox News and their ilk.  Really?  Since when did Rick Santelli begin working for Fox?  Surely you are familiar with "The Rant Heard Around The World" from February 19, 2009?

Of course not, Jen.  Because once again, you seem out to show the entire NB community that you are the most uninformed Leftist out there. 

The lady 'said' it wasn't just about democrats and pointed to a sign that said they wanted Republicans out. Well, goody. But what you don't see is Bush being compared to Hilter, the anti-christ, or Mao. You didn't see Republican congressmen or women on signs with the phrase, "hang em' high". You saw the the opposite. And where was the SAME outrage when BUSH started bailing out banks? When Bush and Congress were doing the spending??  Bush ran up the same amount of debt in eight years that your own personal Jesus (apologies to Depeche Mode), His Majesty The Shahinshah, ran up in three months.  By the way, apparently you are new here.  There aren't all that many people here who are terribly happy with Bush.  I don't know about my fellow NBers, but I wrote Congress, demanding they cut their spending habits, and I have been demanding a Balanced Budget Amendment since I was old enough to vote. 

It seems you have an OBSESSIVE DEVOTION to hating Bush, but you eventually will have to grow up and accept that he is no longer the President. 

Fox News promoted these tea parties, blatantly. One anchor came right out and used the word 'promote'. HELLO??  What anchor?  Name him or her.  And perhaps they were being promoted because some of the Fox commentators (read that italicized word very very carefully) decided to cover the tea parties, because they felt they were newsworthy?  In which case, they HAD to promote their shows, because of these things called "ratings".  Jen, ratings are...forget it...

You want to attack her for being out of line...where is the outrage when a FOX reporter who said, "When are we going to wake up and start fighting the facsism that seems to be permeating this country?"   Who was this Fox reporter?  When did this happen?  maybe you have a youtube clip of the event? 

So, no, this wasn't a non-partisan protest. That is as plain as the nose on your face. Those tea parties were a joke. They were for the nutjobs at Fox (Beck, Cavuto, Hannity, etc) to advance THEIR agenda by fooling these people with LIES.  Really?  I'm willing to bet that you haven't watched a nanosecond of Fox.  You just SCREAM "Fox is evil" because you are a deeply uninformed Leftist who cannot and will not think for herself.  So, I am curious about something?  Is it a "lie" that the bottom 40% of taxpayers don't pay any taxes?  Is it a "lie" that the upper 60% pay all the taxes on the federal level?  Now, you think carefully about that answer, because I pulled that from the 15 April 2006 edition of The Economist, a British mag you would love because of their obsequious gushing over His Majesty The Shahinshah. 

And finally, it's not your grammar that sucks.  It is your presentation and the fact that you are so poorly informed.  As a former President would say, "you know so much that isn't so".

You earn more, you are taxed more. It's been like that for decades. Obama is going back to taxes that were done under the Clinton Administration. Most of those tea baggers will get a tax cut under Obama's plan. They either don't know by being LIED to or they just don't care.

The Fox Reporter was Cody Willard. The anchor was Stuart Varney, a fill in for Neil's show. And don't bother with, 'he's not an anchor'. He reports news. He works and represents Fox News.

All you seem to care about is whether it affects the bottom line on tax day.  That's the myopic view that gets America in trouble.

You couldn't possibly believe raising taxes on the rich doesn't affect the middle class and poor, could you?

Look at California, then look at Texas.  Big difference, and that's just considering State taxes.

It worked under Clinton and he left with a surplus.

 

As you may presently yourself be fully made aware of, my grammar sucks.

The uninformed speaks again

Once again, Jen, you are out to show just how deeply uninformed a Leftist you are.

 Initially, Clinton was going to leave us with deficits as far as the eye can see. Primarity because he wanted to nationalize 1/7th of the economy. And his raising of taxes initially hurt a great deal. It was when the initial wave of Republicans entered office in 1995, led by Newt G_______, that Clinton was dragged kicking and screaming to the Right. Why did Clinton leave with surpluses? Because he was forced politically to cut capital gains taxes. Once he did this, you got businesses investing more money and thus more jobs and more taxpayers. The fiscal conservatives in Congress held Clinton's spending in check, for the most part.

I perhaps would have respected Clinton more if he and Congress got together and decided to pay down the debt with the surplus money. But no; Clinton kept telling us that since we the people didn't know how to spend the money (we were too stupid, you see, to do that), he decided to spend it left and right on projects tied to his perpetual,never ending campaign to be completely, universally loved.

 Once again, Jen, you show me just how horrifically uninformed you are.

Maybe you just conveniently forgot this, and I'll give Clinton credit for caving on it under some serious pressure from naysayers, including Barack Hussein Obama who thought limiting Welfare was punitive.

Not surprisingly, you insist on giving Clinton all the glory, though I admit he did sign onto the legislation the Republicans sent him.

This coup has gone on long enough. The time to put it down is NOW.

 ROFL. I watch it daily.

 ROFL. I watch it daily. As well as CNN and MSNBC.  You watch Fox daily, yet cannot answer some pretty simple questions about who said what on Fox.  I'll take that as a blatant lie. 

And your other mistake is watching any U.S. media outlet.  It is safe to say I watch more CBC in a week than watch American media outlets combined. 

You earn more, you are taxed more. It's been like that for decades. Obama is going back to taxes that were done under the Clinton Administration. Most of those tea baggers will get a tax cut under Obama's plan. They either don't know by being LIED to or they just don't care.   WRONG.  His Majesty The Shahinshah says that 95% of taxpayers will get a tax cut.  Clearly both you and Him are not very good at math.  I do not see how you can give 95% of taxpayers a tax cut when only 60% of the population is doing the heavy lifting. 

"You earn more, you are taxed more" is a really stupid concept which appeals to parasites such as yourself.  Go ahead and whine about the "name-calling"; that's an adjective.  Taxation is a mechanism by which a government funds its activities; not a way for Jen7 to punish and steal from people who she thinks makes too much money.  And it isn't His Majesty The Shahinshah's job to do that, either. 

The Fox Reporter was Cody Willard. The anchor was Stuart Varney, a fill in for Neil's show. And don't bother with, 'he's not an anchor'. He reports news. He works and represents Fox News.  By the way, when did this happen, and who said what?  You should be aware I would be inclined to give Stuart Varney slack.  The reason?  He is a business reporter.  Before you respond to that, I suggest you put on a thinking cap and figure out where the crucial difference would lie. 

Edit: Cody Willard?  A NINE YEAR OLD KID???  You fear HIM???  Good Holy Shahinshah, you are one deranged gal...

Hmmm.  Not seeing a response to "The Rant Heard Around The World".  Perhaps because you can't make some Fox News Channel-hating response to it.  Mr. Santelli is also a business reporter.  Think about that some more.

Um, do you have a point???

Business reporters HAVE to deal with a thing called reality.  If they do not report reality (meaning since the tea parties REALLY existed, they were FORCED to report them) they lose their jobs.  Business reporters aren't quite the same breed as the jokers in whom you invest all of your trust.

It does not hurt that the Tea Parties concerned financial issues, thus attracting the attention of people like Mr. Varney.  (Personally, I would much rather have had Jenna Lee or Erin Isabelle Burnett report on the one I went to, but that's just me.)

You do an awful lot of whining about Fox News, but I have yet to hear a PEEP from you about the well-spring of the Tea Parties, Mr. Rick Santelli, who DOES NOT work for Fox.  If you whine so relentlessly over Mr. Varney, I would suggest you should have much of your hatred directed to Mr. Santelli, the man who STARTED the Tea Party phenomenon.   

Yeah, that one. ::rolling eyes::   Yeah, that bothers you, but children singing songs of praise for His Majesty The Shahinshah makes your heart OVERFLOW WITH JOY.  Because for one thing, you are extremely angry that not everyone in American is worshipping your God, His Majesty The Shahinshah, as though He is Jesus.  In fact, I worship NOBODY.  This IS a representative republic, after all.

you'll have to forgive us Jen

We're not a bunch of professional community organizers. We don't have our own ACORN to get us up in busloads at a moment's notice to drop us off at a protest site. When you deal with working families who are loathe to get in confrontation, it takes time to get them motivated.

This thing didn't pop up all the sudden. Go ask Glenn Beck how many people were sending him torches and pitchforks a year ago. Go ask John Boehner and Eric Cantor how many angry conservatives have melted their phones for a long time now. Go ask the comissioners of Fort Lauderdale who suggested two years ago that they wanted to secede from northern Florida because of the tax burden. Go ask the protestors in California who hanged effigies of Schwarzeneggar to complain about the GOP.

We didn't wake up one morning and decide to protest, precisely because we are not professional protestors. The media wasn't there over the years when these complaints were building up. The media ignored us mailing bricks and teabags to Congress. When folks like Neil Cavuto and Rick Santelli were complaining about Bush's bailout, the media ignored them. We had to organize a massive rally just to get their attention - and then they dumbly started asking us why we were suddenly angry.

As for Fox News setting this up, get a clue. Protests have been going on for a few months already. As unsane noted, Santelli called for a tea party long before anyone on Fox picked up on it. All of the parties were planned and the permits bought without Fox News being there to hold anyone's hand. And then when Fox News has the nerve to cover a massive event with hundreds of thousands of people, a move to get ratings is called propaganda.

 

@Jen

Of course there was the obligatory disprespect from the effete liberal MSM, (CNN and MSNBC, in particular)who just can’t understand why average, working class Americans would be pissed off at government gouging and THE ONE.

It goes without saying that Roesgen is a mealy-mouthed leftwingnut CNN hack who thought she could stick her microphone in a patriot’s face and intimidate him. No dice.

Fox News blows away the competition, including CNN. There’s a reason for that. Take a good look at her behavior and you’ll see why their ratings are in the toilet.

The MSM largely ignored the protests because they weren’t comprised of left-over unemployed 60’s radicals burning George W. Bush and Dick Cheney in effigy. When you’re talking about a 21st century Tea Party movement representing millions of people who’ve never protested before, or rarely protested, that’s something that makes the liberal media crap their pants. They’d rather ignore it than acknowlege it, or simply insult those who take a stand against THE ONE they helped put into office. Maybe a large crowd in front of the New York Times, CNN, or MSNBC might get their attention…if they come out from under their desks.

Brace yourself, sweetpea. The socialist-in-chief has gone to far and the masses are pissed.  More protests are coming.

The fact is that both republicans & democrats are responsibe for this mess.  And for you information Jen, "Nobody in their right minds would watch CNN, PMSNBC, The National Barack Company (NBC), The American Barack Company (ABC) & The Columbia Barack System (CBS). Those cable channels would love to get viewers, but their anchors are so pathetic, that only a moron would watch them. And by the way, Glenn Beck beat all of the other cable news networks combined. You need to get with the program, JEN!

Yeah

Once her camera was off, Roesgen quickly retreated to the smirk we see on the video. When she tried to explain herself, she discovered that the people she was denigrating were quite capable of defending themselves.

The reason why reporters cling to the universally-ignored myth of journalistic objectivity is that it's the only way they can deliver their opinions without having to justify it. If they admitted that they were delivering opinion, they'd have to allow other opinions to be aired as well. So, rather than allowing their opinions to be contradicted, they call their opinions "reporting," which shields them from giving airtime to others. Once they've convinced the viewing public that they really aren't imposing their opinions on everyone, they feel free to do exactly that.

It's the Alinsky thing, in so many ways. Once they convince you that they're not going to do something, that frees them to do it, because they no longer fear any retaliation.  

Simply sick-making

This woman was not a "reporter." She cast herself as a debater. She felt obligated to argue counter-points instead of simply reporting and listening to the protesters.

Would she have behaved the same way at the Million Man March? Or at a Code Pink rally? A pro-abortion rally? I think not.

Cheers to the woman who stood up to her, and thank goodness for the Founding Bloggers who recorded that exchange. That was a glimpse of the real story here, and CNN wouldn't want that to leak out.

Fox & Friends showed the "routine" clip of this moron, the remainder of the "report" probably not yet available during their airtime.

I hope this does make the Fox News cycle of programs.  Holding the radical and extremist leftist propaganda agencies responsible and accountable for their egregious actions is something long overdue.

After yesterday's hundreds of thousands showed up all over the country to speak out against the insanity in Washington, it's now obvious the reasonable and rational of this nation will NOT take, accept, or ignore leftist propaganda and blatant falsehoods (or omissions) anymore.

Hard to get message out, media mostly slogans and symbols

The child is the reason he was interviewed.  The reporter/activist wanted to pick an argument with the child in the middle (knowing that 90% of viewers wouldn't understand the actual points, that's why slogans are used at rallies, its the only way to talk over the media in such a setting).  CNN simply wanted to make their viewers uncomfortable about the TEA parties using the child as a prop. 

I think its great that the cameras are turned on the media and their complicity w/ "Obama and 400 Thieves" (come to think of it that would make a good sign at one of the TEA parties, "Obama and the 400 Thieves", anyone who reads this feel free to use it). Obama and the 400 Thieves? Olibama and the 400 Thieves?

Good on you namron, what struck me the most, is when she approached you and said smarmily, o.k. your here with your two year old, like you had no business bringing your kid with you.

Evidently the kind of protest's Roesgen prefer's to cover usually involve the attendee's using their children as human shield's against the riot police.

Hope the lady debating Roesgen has all of her taxes in order. Me think's she may get a visit by some I.R.S. auditer's very soon.

taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear the most. -dostoyevski

An apologist for unprofessionalism

 She had a few facts she wanted to push it seems.  Push?  Actually, she let one guy - a father of a two year old - have his say for all of four seconds before she cut him off and began screaming at him.  Then she realized she wasn't getting anywhere, so she looked at the camera, and lied about the nature of the crowd, and then "threw" it back to studio.

 It seemed like a spirited "debate" by the looks of it.  Unfortunately for you, Miss Roesgen's job title is not "debater".  She is a reporter.  She is supposed to report what she sees.  If she was a true professional, she would have allowed said gentleman to have his say, and maybe based on that, ask some more questions, or move on to the next person.  But no; she had an agenda, and it clearly showed.

Miss Roesgen is the very epitome of unprofessional.  In a perfect world, she would have been fired on the spot.

Susie-Q came out with a preconceived, Democrat-talking-point notion of what this protest was about.  How very facetious of her to ask the protesters "what does this mean?"  She knows what it means.  She came out to make fun of them.  And they threw it back at her smirky face.

And above poster is right.  These talking TV heads are so used to "rent-a-mob" unemployed "protesters" that she can't conceive of the idea that regular work-a-day folks are fed up and don't want to take it any more.

I'd say they were a classy bunch of protesters.  If a Fox news reporter came smirking around at last year's immigration protests and picked on the rent-a-mob crowd, they'd've beaten her up.  I hope our side remembers--class shows.

Well, the situations where different. Whereas the CNN reporter actually got someone who was willing to answer her question, the Fox reporter didn't (other than a couple of bumper-sticker replies).

The Fox reporter's yelling about "freedom" and "freedom of speech" was a response to the fact that the crown around him initially ignored him and then purposefully interfered with his coverage of the protest. I wouldn't call that being antagonistic.

By contrast, the CNN reporter was flat out arguing with protesters who were more than willing to express their views (as if CNN really cared).

The next critical set of tea parties needs to be against the MSM

Was this CNN 'journalist' supposed to be there as an objective reporter?  Because if she was, I think CNN should fire her on the spot.  She antagonized someone she was supposedly trying to 'get information' from, she got defensive when people asked her what she was doing.  She ignored objective evidence that this was not about anti Democrat.  I think Fox needs to start doing a series on the partisanship of the MSM.  Imagine how much that would piss them off.  O'Reilly should take it.

Not only is CNN's Susan Roesgen a partisan hack, she;s also a liar.

Toward the end, she told the suburban woman she "never said it was about Republicans or Democrats".  What did Susan Roesgen mean then when she said, "I think you get the general tenor of this.  It's anti-government, anti-CNN since this is highly promoted by the right-wing, conservative network, Fox."

Delusional.  Completely delusional.

Susan Roesgen is a self-rightous hack, a fraud and a liar. Par for the course at CNN.

No More CNN for me!

That's it, this is the last straw, I'm adding CNN, Headline News and CNN International to my skipped channel list. With the negative and non-existent coverage from the MSM of this nation-wide protest with over a million people peacefully demonstrating their disapproval of their government, Fox News Channel is the only network that gave these people fair coverage. The only ones protesting the tea parties were using democratic talking points, repeating the same word-for-word counter-arguments over and over on every news venue. That proves the point that there was a well-funded organized effort designed to demean this grass roots protest movement. I'm looking forward to seeing the next grass roots protest!

Dust in the wind

I have been to a number of protests in my life and I must admit, liberal or conservative, anger does tend to foment in groups; but wow, was this bunch angry!  I am judging not only by the verbal anger, but the outright nastiness of the signs and all.  I am surprised at the temerity of the CNN reporter to wade into that group for interviews and then hang around afterward.  If I were her, I would have beat tracks back to the production van to avoid being accosted.

Still, I think a good old fashioned protest is a great way for the angries to get their ya yas out.  I understand there is another event planned for June, as this is considered to be a ‘movement.’  I can’t wait, but I am betting due to the low turnout of these events, the whole thing will fade into dust.

I have been to a number of

I have been to a number of protests in my life and I must admit,
liberal or conservative, anger does tend to foment in groups; but wow,
was this bunch angry!

 

Angry yes, violent no.

The bottom line is, it's a protest, people don't tend to go to these if they're happy about something. She was supposed to go as a reporter, gathering fact's for the public good and instead decided to put on a partisan display and spew leftist talking point's all on camera. She was intentionally trying to stir up a hornet's nest and get a reaction from the crowd, I'll bet she was hoping to get assaulted.

Sadly, this will probably be a resume' enhancer for her.

 With that said, clearly the tea-parties prove that we conservatives as a whole are a much classier bunch, than our brother's and sister's on the left, judging by our protest's. Nothing got broken, nothing got burned, noone got assaulted, and we even know how to pick up all of our trash afterward's too.

What would a TRUE reporter do?

A true reporter would have waded into the group, cameras off, microphone off, and discussed things with the people prior to getting on-camera. That way, true reporting could be done, and the whole thing could have been framed. The CNN reporter wouldn't have been surprised by the answer "I don't belong to any group", and wouldn't have falsely declared "it's all right-wing; it's all Fox News". A true reporter would have already known about the sign -- that had to be pointed out to her -- blasting Republicans. And CNN wouldn't have egg all over it's face.

But CNN doesn't hire true reporters, because CNN is not a news organization. They are a leftist propaganda wing that wouldn't be able to recognize the truth if it bit them on the leg.

Who is it that always says "bloggers and the internet should be banned, because it takes true professionalism to report the news?" Not true, obviously -- witness Exhibit A, this video.

This was one of the largest conservative-libertarian leaning rallies in history. Regular people who showed up for the first time in their lives and found that this is a good thing. They are all glad they went and will do it again.

Hundreds of thousands showed up all over America and judging from the statist reaction, it scared them good.

 The reporter didn't feel threatened. On ly leftwing protesters burn and overturn cars. Did ya see the Tancredo thing at UNC?? Thats threatening! 

 

Silly Dutchman

Actually, you ACHE and ACHE and ACHE for the whole thing to fade into dust.  Why?  Because you cannot do anything as stressful as breathing without the Nanny State pampering you and holding your hand the whole time.  That there are many, many, many people who think and do likewise frightens you greatly. 

And yeah, the turnout was so low that the SAPD was needed to cordon off Alamo Plaza to traffic to accomodate the crowd, and there was an overflow crowd at HemisFair Park to watch the event unfold.  Turnout was so low that I couldn't find parking in downtown San Antonio on a weekday evening.

 I have been to a number of protests in my life and I must admit, liberal or conservative, anger does tend to foment in groups; but wow, was this bunch angry!  You want to see angry?  How about Seattle in December 1999, Quebec City in April 2001, Genoa in July 2001, and Calgary 2002 (albeit admittedly less so)?  But since these are all acts done by your Socialist fellow travelers, they get a pass.  Right?

Flying_Dutchman, Do you

Flying_Dutchman,

Do you think it was as bad as what the Fox reporter in the clip I posted above had to deal with?

Yea, I didn't think so.

Your feigned shock was real convincing, though.

Fox "News" on steroids

As most people know, Fox “News” is not well liked among the radical left and to walk into a crowd of them shouting, “Don’t you believe in free speech?” is both ballsy and antagonistic.  He is lucky he didn’t get a knuckle sandwich.  What he did was far more antagonistic (and in fact stupid for his own well-being) than what the CNN reporter did.  Wouldn’t you agree?

 

→ Yeah, Dutchman

Sounds like you've got a bit of a cavalier attitude about violence.

Are you on Janet NapoliReno's watch list, or is that reserved for those who aren't so easily prone to such talk?


LYDSEXICS UNTIE!

No.

If you had pick whether to walk into a herd of docile cows with calves in tow or a pack of shrieking wild baboons, I think the choice would be pretty clear.

Roesgen knew damn well she was only dealing with cows. 

I'm sure the little Fox reporter guy felt very "lucky he didn't get a knuckle sandwich." But then that would be bodily assault.

Flying_Dutchman, OK, so

Flying_Dutchman,

OK, so to stick with your reasoning and the fact that you said:

I am surprised at the temerity of the CNN reporter to wade into that
group for interviews and then hang around afterward.  If I were her, I
would have beat tracks back to the production van to avoid being
accosted. 

are you suggesting that the people at the Tea Party protest were radical right people who hate CNN and so she should have expected the same treatment as that Fox reporter in the link got? I mean, you are suggesting that both crowds were just as hostile, aren't you?

But let's consider that. You suggest that the Fox reporter deserved the treatment he got because of his yelling about "freedom of speech" and yet, if you actually watch the video, you'll see that he didn't start doing that until the end after he had been ignored, insulted with vulgarity, had his mic grabbed from him and after he and his camera guy started getting jostled.

Yea, that Fox reporter sure was being antagonistic. 

And, um, I don't recall seeing any of that happening to the CNN reporter. Did I miss something?

And while we're at it, you mentioned "... the verbal anger, ... the outright nastiness of the signs and all."

OK, maybe you could be a little more precise about the verbal anger you heard in the CNN clip. Was it like the "F*ck Fox News", "F*ck Corporate Media" and "F*ck you" directed at the Fox reporter? How about all the middle fingers thrown in front of the camera? Did I miss those in the CNN clip?

And which signs, exactly, did you find so nasty? Because, really, if you want to compare the types of signs seen at your typical left-wing protest to those at the Tea Party protests, I'm game.

There is no way you can honestly believe what you are saying.

Like I said, your feigned shock is real convincing.

Lots of questions, but ..

DM,

I am only suggesting as an activist that this whole tea party thing was a corporate event.  I suggest you choose your causes carefully.

Good luck in the future!

You do know that when you post comments, those comments stick around for others to read, right?

Going back through what you wrote, I'd have to say that, no, you were suggesting more than just "that this whole tea party thing is a corporate event."

Instead of redefining your position (very lame, by the way) address what I wrote or act like a grown-up and admit that you were wrong in your portrayal of the Tea Party protesters.

It's the venting of hostilities.

Flying_Dutchman,

Definite anger. I would have expected signs & placards displaying the reason of the protest. It seemed more of a rehash of people against Obama & the days before the election. Of course, I wasn't there. Just seeing the different youtube videos...

I was there at one, the

I was there at one, the majority of the signs were about out of control spending and the big government.  Some were against Obama, but most were against congress.  You see, most people at the tea parties understand it is the Congress that writes the tax laws and appropriates the money (ie spends the money).  

 

And by the way, this is the first protest. The next will be on July 4th.  This ain't goin' away. 

Chill, baby, chill! Chill, baby, chill! Chill, baby, chill!

Saint, 

I thought we celebrated the birth of our nation on July 4th and you guys want to go out and protest the current administration?  Geeze guys, put your feet up, have a beer (or a birch beer, as the case may be) and let us Democrats straighten out the economic/civil/financial/global messes that ya’ll have gotten us in to from Reagan on.  We've got a lot of work to do, so sit back and relax a' while, ya' here?  (Remember:  We won in November.)

Liberal hate?  It may be a subjective view.  I saw a lot of hate the past 24 hours, mostly from the right.  Did you miss it somehow? 

(PS - Hatred is human nature and I don't think it is either a liberal or conservative trait.  While I was sickened by what George Bush did to this country, I never felt hate for the man.  I did however see the devil in Dick Cheney.)

I asked you because you are liberal. Maybe you could give us

some insight into why the MSM and people like you are so angry over something as patriotic and wonderful that took place yesterday. 

We know you are angry, just give us the facts leading up to how you were born angry or do you believe it is a choice?

Not angry at all

Pa,

I am not angry at all about the tea protests.  I was thrilled to watch them as a protester myself.  I do like to poke a little fun at conservative protests because they aren’t very good at them.  It is sort of like watching a child learn to ride a bike, except with the hands of big corporate sponsors holding the backs of their shirts and running behind them.

You do realize that this grass roots tax revolt was largely sponsored by corporations, don’t you?  Some of the same corps that brought us the “reason for the season,” I might add.

Well, you are right about one thing.  The left is better at protests than we are...however, consider that lefty protests, like in NYC and here in the TCs were riddled with problems.  So in one way I find the conservatives much more dignified in their behavior and yet treated very very shabbily by the MSM.  I disagree with you concerning the corporate sponsorships.  Olberman and other lefties are responsible for saying this w/o any proof.

Okay, so you are not angry, but you strongly dislike conservatives?

 

Link or slink

Really?  Big corporate sponsors?  Then maybe you can give me NAMES.  One, I think you are full of crap.  Two, IF you are right, some corporate sponsors owe me money. 

Three: all you really know how to do is to vomit the same tired Leftist talking points.  Thanks for the Nancy Pelosi point of view, though.

not very good at protesting?

 i guess in 'liberalese" that means no one burned anything, stole anything, and no tear gas or water hoses were needed to control the "protesters"...eh dutch?

That was thoughtful.

Reserving your hate for the Vice-President was awfully considerate.

Were you at a Tea Party?  I was, and there was nothing resembling hate on display there.  I've seen reports from one end of the country to the other, and there was no hatred floating about.  The antagonism in Chicago, however, was precipitated by the "reporter" who decided to make herself the story by acting as an Obama-cult apologist.  

In her--both on-air and off-air--we did, indeed, see hate.

of work to do, so sit back and relax a' while, ya' here?"

Yea, you let us all know when that happens so we're all sure not to miss it.

By the way, you keep using "we". What exactly are you, specifically, doing to "straighten" things out?

Fighting the good fight here on NB?

While you Democrats are

While you Democrats are cleaning up this mess, make sure you jail the people who caused this financial collapse through the "subprime" mortgage market.  That shouldn't be too hard for you, since they are all Democrats.  Jaimie Gorelick.  Franklin Raines.  Jim Johnson.  Barney Frank.  Chris Dodd.  Barack Obama.  

And while you are at it, you could also jail all the tax cheats and other crooks Obama has appointed to high office.  You can start with Geithner, a lying, conniving, shyster if there ever was one.

Flying_Dipstick, I hate to break it to you...

...but George W. Bush wasn't the one who told UpChuck Shumer to go out and run his mouth, which caused more than a riplle throughout the banking industry.

It wasn't George W. Bush who was running Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, either. Those were being run by dem cronies, one of whom was swapping spit at night with Bawney Fwank, and another who ran off with $90 million in ill-goten bonus money.

Incidentally, Bawney and his merry band of idiots are going to let the FM's do exactly the same thing all over again.

These are the people responsible for the world economic decline, and yet you are stupid enough to believe that the same people who broke it are going to actually clean it up.

No, they are going to make it far, FAR worse.

This coup has gone on long enough. The time to put it down is NOW.

I'm not a Ward of the State like you want me to be

Geeze guys, put your feet up, have a beer (or a birch beer, as the case may be) and let us Democrats straighten out the economic/civil/financial/global messes that ya’ll have gotten us in to from Reagan on.  No.  I know that you cannot function, cannot breathe, or even awaken in the morning without a Nanny State, but you see, I have no desire to be babied by a Nanny State.

Just because you are too weak/lazy to get off your a**, roll up your sleeves and actually work, and figure out your own problems and issues and work to resolve them does not mean I am.  If people like you get the hell out of my way and leave me alone, I will do just fine. 

I simply do not have this deep aching and desire to be a Ward of the State as you do.  So you will be politically opposed every step of the way.  So do be a good sport about it.  I would submit the ONLY reason you won in November was because the competition was too pathetic.  But just because you won doesn't mean I roll over and die and let you do anything you want.  You may want to reread the Constitution again.

"Definite anger?" Since when

"Definite anger?"

Since when do people protest when they're happy? 

  There were more sign's

  There were more sign's and placard's displaying the reason for the protest than specific anti-Obama sign's, if you'd actually attended, you would know that. Plus the speaker's I heard pinned this baby squarely on both parties. With that said, he's the president, so he get's to wear this baby. He's managed to rack up more debt in his first 100 day's than all president's combined up to him.

Along with killing the unborn, now he want's to tax them,..... for generation's.

It's this simple (to me anyway).

The libs got an unprecedented victory in this election and are now looking at this as their opportunity to make as much radical change as possible before the NEXT midterm election comes around in 2010 and we vote these SOB'S out and a Repub. majority congress makes them change everything RIGHT BACK. So you can perhaps understand the urgency these douchestuffers feel in trying to make as many changes as possible in such a short period of time.

Advocate, Nice video. I

Advocate,

Nice video. I found the following to be interesting:

  • No one burned the American flag. Unlike leftists.

  • No one had signs hating the United States, or calling Obama names, or wishing death to him. Unlike leftists.

  • People dressed nicely. They weren't dirty. And the whole place seemed to be clean. Unlike leftists.

  • Although they must have been there, I didn't seen any police. In riot gear. With rocks being thrown at them. Unlike leftists.

  • No profanity. People used regular language to get their point across. Unlike leftists.

  • The signs were polite. And not "group-made". Unlike leftists.

I did note one similarity. A lot of the music was lousy. Like leftists' music.

Too bad for you...

The San Antonio Tea Party cancels out that point.  A sign posted at a gazebo in Alamo Plaza laid out the basic rules of engagement for the protest.  One of the biggies was "Respect for the Alamo".  I have yet to see this at a Leftist protest.  When the guys and gals dispersed, not a window was broken, not one business was vandalized or attacked. 

But then, San Antonio knows how to do things like this.  I can't remember a serious incident resulting from the Spurs NBA Championships (except for one injury in 1999). 

Great, so you found ONE city with issues out of something like 300 Tea Parties coast to coast.  You Leftists have given us Seattle 1999, Quebec City 2001, Genoa 2001, and London just a few weeks ago.  When I visited Calgary in 2002 it had an extremely tense atmosphere thanks to the army of professional protesters the Leftists have. 

You are going to have to try A LOT HARDER.

Oh Wow!

Someone vids a rally, using his own quotes, "the taxes were higher under Reagan than they will be under Obama".  Really?  Don't suppose you could substantiate that, Protocol?  

By the way, I just found out today that the wife and I are two of those rotten, dirty capitalists that Obama is punishing.  She got her pay stub today, guess what?  No increase in take home pay.  Didn't the Obamunist promise that only the rich wouldn't see an increase in take home pay?  

Prot_9 I've viewed your two videos... ???

What is the point?  Do you have one?

Advocate, Thank you!

I was so confused until I saw this.  I was beginning to think I had only dreamed that I attended the Chicago tea party.

My family and I thought the tea party started at Daley Center at 12:00, but when we drove by at 11:50 a.m. there were only a handful of protesters walking away (we almost went home).  Then we found out it had been moved to the Federal Building so we went there.  I was beginning to think I was nuts since I neither witnessed the CNN interview or so-called "angry" protesters.

There were far fewer at the second location, but everyone at the Federal Building was talking amiably and complimenting each other on their witty (not vulgar) signs.  In fact, it was kind of subdued and, dare I say it, boring.

Daley Center must have got started early since your shots of the Picasso are clearly from Daley Center?      

come on lefties

Please show up  here and explain how this is not an example of bias.

Certain lefties here complain about Fox anchors attacking NBC. Now we have a CNN reporter calling Fox News a right-wing group and implying that Fox had a hand in pushing the parties. Then after labeling it a conservative thing the reporter has the nerve to say she's not portraying it as a partisan movement.

When we invaded Iraq, CNN spent most of their time showing protests. They stressed the point that mainstream soccer moms showed up and portrayed the protestors as patriotic folks who loved their country.

Check out CNN's coverage of an immigration rally two years ago that was much more sympathetic toward the protesters.

 

Don't know if you consider me a lefty candance

.....but that was pure bias on the part of CNN, they did not portray the full picture and want to portray only one side.

She liked to belittle the people and was very smug in her stance, which is like many of the posters on NB, conservative and democrat alike.

Hi JWF

I'm not sure what you saying, but I clearly agreed that the CNN reporter was biased.

I am saying the attitude of this reporter is very much like many posters on NB democrats and republicans alike.

It does not matter who does it, being an a$$ and a forum troll just makes things hard for everyone else.

You were not one of the lefties I had in mind, but I'll take your input anyway. :-)

and not just a CNN hack implied Fox

Her Magnificence Queen Pelosi herself said that the protests were totally astroturfed and were in no way a grassroots thing.

Where Was Faux News, I mean Fox News?...

I didn't see any faux news host at any anti war protest rally. I never heard any faux news anchor remind its viewers about any anti prop 8 rally's in california. I never saw sean hannity broadcasting his show live from an anti prop 8 rally.

Trix are for kids, fox is for fools.

*yawn*

I'm very sorry Fox News can't be bothered to cover every tedious protest in the country. But when you have 250K attending rallies in every state capital, it's a bit different.

Besides, even when Fox does show up to cover lefty rallies this is how they are treated, so I don't blame them for staying away. When a Fox consultant like Michelle Malkin is threatened with murder when she shows up to report lefty events, again I can't blame her for leaving.

But that stuff doesn't appear on HuffPo, does it?

Hypocracy

Candance Wrote: "I'm very sorry Fox News can't be bothered to cover every tedious protest in the country. But when you have 250K attending rallies in every state capital, it's a bit different."

So its ok for a news organization to promote certain protest rallies, but not others? I thought faux news was suppose to be "fair and balanced". Also, considering faux news promoted the tea bag protests for at least a month before they happened...250K is pretty pathetic. The anti iraq protests drew in more than that and that was without the help of news organizations promoting it. Hell, even the most recent million march, which didn't attract a million people, attracted double what the tea party protests attracted.

By mistreatment, do you mean when bill o' reilly stalked amanda terkiel from thinkprogress.org for daring to report something that bill-o didn't agree with...or when rush limbaugh and sean hannity called anti iraq war protestors "traitors" and "america haters"...or when glenn beck called katrina survivors in new orleans "scum" and said "it took me about a year to start hating the 9/11 survivors and the victims families"...like that mistreatment?

Trix are for kids, fox is for fools

Very very weak, as usual

 By mistreatment, do you mean when bill o' reilly stalked amanda terkiel from thinkprogress.org for daring to report something that bill-o didn't agree with...or when rush limbaugh and sean hannity called anti iraq war protestors "traitors" and "america haters"...or when glenn beck called katrina survivors in new orleans "scum" and said "it took me about a year to start hating the 9/11 survivors and the victims families"...like that mistreatment?  One, like most people who mindlessly hate Fox News because they are told to, those are ALL commentators you quote.  Two, it is NOTHING like the mistreatment the Fox reporters got covering various events.  The interspersed links show this. 

So its ok for a news organization to promote certain protest rallies, but not others?  How exactly did Fox News promote this?  And I see you LOVE to whine, bitch and scream about the evil Fox News (I have yet to meet a Leftist who can handle or tolerate the existence of another point of view; since Fox News is actually remotely interested in how Rightists see things and acts accordingly it fills you with rage) but not about, say, this

Also, considering faux news promoted the tea bag protests for at least a month before they happened...250K is pretty pathetic.  One, I fail to see how Fox "promoted" this.  I found out about my local Tea Party on the Internet.  Two, you should know that Rightists make pretty pathetic revolutionaries.  You see, we know that one, we won't eat it we don't work.  Second, we know that people such as yourself who either live parasitically off of the nation's producers or WANT to need the tax money.  And third, due to things like this, we lack a class of professional protesters like what the Left has.

You Need To Be Fair

I don't deny that there have been some wackos at liberal protests. However, there are just as many wacko conservative activists as well. I mean, how many abortion clinics have been bombed by some far right religious nut? how many gay rights supporters have been attacked by anti gay rights activists? Just because a few fox reporters got roughed up at a protest rally doesn't mean that they should ignore protest rallies that they don't agree with. There will always be a certain amount of risk when reporting from some sort of protest rally, but thats the risk you take. If you're not willing to take that risk then what the hell is the point of even being a news reporter?

I hate fox because of the contant lies and distortions that it promotes. Also, the constant attacks on liberals while giving conservatives a free right doesn't sit well with me either...but, I digress. Yes, fox news did promote the tea party rallies. They had been promoting them for at least a solid 3 weeks before the event took place. Many fox news commentators kept reminding their viewers of the events. Commentators constantly told viewers which websites to go in order to learn more about the protests. Also, many commentators filmed their shows live from the tea party rallies. If that doesn't scream "promotion", then I don't know what does. Also, I love the same lame ass sentences that come from all the conservatives I talk to..."liberals are just lazy, they don't work, they just want handouts". Makes me wonder if you take your orders from sean hannity and the rest of the folks at fox news.

 

Trix are for kids, fox is for fools

There is not a single truth

In your whole post, Soro's tweeks your string and you bellow like a stuck pig. Since we have a whole site here dedicated to proving you are a wrong, you will have to do more then just say it. 

BTW how many arrest were made at the 800 or so Tea Parties? How many at the relatively small Prop 8 protest.

What is this "fair" of which you speak?

Um, fair?  What is this "fair"? 

Word to the wise: "fair" is the most subjective word in English. 

 I don't deny that there have been some wackos at liberal protests. However, there are just as many wacko conservative activists as well. I mean, how many abortion clinics have been bombed by some far right religious nut?  Well, it is good of you to acknowledge the Left's penchant for destruction.  I have noticed that whenever Leftists smash other people's property, as in the anti-capitalist riots led by its groups of professional protesters, I WILL NOT HEAR A PEEP FROM YOU.  how many gay rights supporters have been attacked by anti gay rights activists?   OK.  How many conservative speakers have gotten heckled by Leftists for DARING to show up? (Yeah, those nice, tolerant Leftists.)  Just because a few fox reporters got roughed up at a protest rally doesn't mean that they should ignore protest rallies that they don't agree with.  Well, I'd take a long, hard look in the mirror.  When you and your ilk stop treating them with the extreme hostility that is evident here, I'm sure they'd be more than willing to show up.  Hell, why don't you welcome them in to your protests?  It wouldn't hurt.  But no; you guys just want the issue in order to demonize one harmless little network whose greatest crime is to report the conservative point-of-view and doing so as if conservatives just might have a legitimate point. There will always be a certain amount of risk when reporting from some sort of protest rally, but thats the risk you take.  Susan Roesgen didn't take much of a risk.  She may have had a few hairs screwed up but that's something a little hairspray couldn't fix.  And, if she hadn't stood there and lied and attempted to scream down people, the reception she would have gotten would have been quite warm. But she chose her path.  If you're not willing to take that risk then what the hell is the point of even being a news reporter?  You tell me.  I wonder what is the point in having CNN around anyways.  With people like Susan Roesgen on the payroll, who screams down the people she disagrees with - errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! - wishes to report on, and then lies through her teeth about said people, what makes CNN different from Neues Deutschland

 I hate fox because of the contant lies and distortions that it promotes.  Yet, here's betting you love MSNBC for "accuracy".  What lies, what distortions?  I need specifics.  You think I'm letting you off the hook that easy?  Also, the constant attacks on liberals while giving conservatives a free right doesn't sit well with me either...but, I digress.  Really?  Fox News is allegedly the locus of pure evil for DARING to allow a Rightist or two a nanosecond of air time, all the while treating them as if their perspective is worth listening to...yet, Leftists sure as all hell cannot wait to appear on that network.  Why is that?  Let's face it.  You really hate Fox because you hate conservatives so much you wish they had NO outlets at all.  You demand that they SHUT UP, completely and entirely.  The sad part?  I can't tell you the last time I watched more than, say, five minutes of Fox.  I don't have the time and prefer other media outlets, mostly from outside the United States.   They had been promoting them for at least a solid 3 weeks before the event took place.  Really?  You have YET to respond to this, which happened well before THAT.  Yet here you are, not blasting away at CNBC, but at Fox News.  Many fox news commentators kept reminding their viewers of the events. Commentators constantly told viewers which websites to go in order to learn more about the protests. Also, many commentators filmed their shows live from the tea party rallies. If that doesn't scream "promotion", then I don't know what does.  You are so blidly devoted to both your hatred and your ideology that you fail to see something here.  The word is "commentators".  Commentators.  One, I expect and demand a commentator to be biased.  I don't like watching wishy-washy commentators, do you?  Two, those commentators promoted their shows.  They HAVE to.  Are you familiar with the concept of ratings?  And while you whine, bitch and scream about Fox, I can still further point to the shoddy journalism of the other networks.  Why didn't they show up here with THEIR programs?  Like it or not, this was a pretty big news event.  Say, can you name a commentator that filmed their show?  If you can, I'd like to know, because film has long been dispensed with, in this age of live broadcast and video. Also, I love the same lame ass sentences that come from all the conservatives I talk to..."liberals are just lazy, they don't work, they just want handouts".  Just as I love all the same lame ass sentences that come from all the Leftists I talk to, like:

The Holy Shahinshah's, President Wonderful's, the Lightworker's, The One's keen eye is the astrolabe of the substantive sun - His truth-discerning heart is the celestial observatory of Attributes - He is of noble lineage, of joyous countenance - of the model, most loving marriage - of right disposition - of open brow - of well-proportioned frame - of magnanimous nature - the honey-tongued teacher of the English language - of lofty genius - the inciter of thrills and tingles - of pure purpose - of enduring faith - of perfect wisdom - emitter of the most fragrant, sweetest flatulence - begirt with varied talents - of wide capacity - of high honor - of the most masterful, soaring oratory - of splendid courage - with the unimpeachable reputation for integrity - of the greatest political savvy - of right judgment - of choice counsel - of  networked genome - of generosity unfeigned - the emblem of the American people - astonishingly ambitious, brave - of boundless forgiveness, abundant in graciousness - the most careful thinker - at peace with all-compendium of dominion - lucid, impeccably centered - of elegance unmatched by mere mortals - true American royalty - our own personal Jesus - of plenteous sincerity - multiple of single-minded warriors - of chiseled pecs - abounding in wealth - accumulator of the world's rarities - sophisticated - of pure heart - unspotted by the world - leader of the spiritual realm - elegant, articulate, Zen-like - of enduring alertness!  How has He been gathered together into one place?  Or how doth a single body upbear Him on the shoulders of genius?

Of course, if I disagree with ANY of this, no matter how substantively, I am called a racist bigot or an evil cold heartless bastard or something or other.  Or, for instance, Leftists who spew the same lame ass sentences like "Wahhhh!  Fox News sucks!!!"  or endless whining about how life's not "fair" or other aspects of your orthodoxy.  I am also tired of whiny Leftists like you clueless as to how to deal with an opposing viewpoint. 

Makes me wonder if you take your orders from sean hannity and the rest of the folks at fox news.   That's because, you being a Leftist drone and fully in tune to the Leftist collective, you can't POSSIBLY IMAGINE that someone might come to these conclusions on their own!  As I said before, sweetie, I may have seen all of five minutes of your object of hatred all year long.  Why don't I care for Fox News?  It's an American network.  It doesn't talk about much going on outside the United States.  No American outlet does.  I avoid them as a result.  I probably watch more CBC than I do even local channels.  

Your whole post, and your contribution to this thread, if I can call it that, is merely a testament to your intellectual bankruptcy and your steadfast refusal to critically think (and your unrelenting need to attack those who do critically think).  When you hit the board again, please be sure to bring the B-game at least.

you guys were calling liberals "un-american" for not supporting the iraq war...

I hear from people in the military "I'm fighting for you, I'm fighting for your freedom"...please pi** off. I never told you to fight for me, so you can take that "I'm fighting for you" nonsense and shove it up your a**. I also love it when I hear people in the military say that they're making a sacrifice for america...seriously, does it really look like I give a s**t?

LOL!!! Please, spare me the "they died for your freedom" b.s

I've never said that a country shouldn't have a form of military, I just don't particularly care about the soldiers who are in the military.

So its ok for a news organization to promote certain protest rallies, but not others?

Fox sent reporters to cover the DNC convention rallies and has appeared at other lefty events, including immigration rallies. Of course you don't want to talk about the infamous story of Geraldo Rivera on Fox pushing for immigration reform and saying he wanted to spit on conservatives.

The anti iraq protests drew in more than that and that was without the help of news organizations promoting it.

Ah, but it was with the help of bus drivers and professional organizers . All you got on the tea party is some vague complaint that Fox News pushed it. And the anti-war rallies didn't have a month of CNN and MSNBC mocking them with homosexual jokes and saying it would only be a bunch of Limbaugh dittoheads.

By mistreatment, do you mean when bill o' reilly stalked amanda terkiel from thinkprogress.org for daring to report something that bill-o didn't agree with.

Nice logic here. You ask me why Fox doesn't show up at lefty events. I give you proof that they have. Your basic reply is that Bill OReilly is a jerk and then you ask me all over again why they don't show up at lefty events.

or when rush limbaugh and sean hannity called anti iraq war protestors "traitors" and "america haters"

Please learn the value of a little thing called context. Neither of them ever said that normal people protesting a war were traitors. I suppose next you will tell me Jesse MacBeth was a real soldier.

or when glenn beck called katrina survivors in new orleans "scum" and said "it took me about a year to start hating the 9/11 survivors and the victims families"...

Oh, you mean when he was specifically talking about those survivors who rioted at a FEMA office because the government wasn't handing out ATM cards fast enough? Or you mean when he said it wasn't about all the 9/11 families, but about ten of them who keep causing trouble? I saw the full quote on MediaMatters, with the juicy tidbits highlighted for easy reading. 

My dear I am saying this will all sincerity. You are repeating sound bites from lefty websites with no context, and I don't like it. If you want to debate us, please come armed with better information.

How About This?

Since you claim that bill o' reilly stalking an innocent woman for disagreeing with his views is perfectly fine, perhaps this will help. You claimed that liberals were screaming "kill michelle malkin" at some sort of liberal protest...what about the people at the mccain rallies who were screaming "kill obama!!!"? I suppose thats alright with you, unless a liberal does it...then its just horrible.

Trix are for kids, fox is for fools

yeah, about that..

excuse me?

What part of my post defended BOR? Please copypaste anything I've ever said on NB to assert that BOR is justified in hassling people? I don't even *like* BOR and am TIRED of having to explain that. Why do you people always assume that conservative = BOR fan?

BOR's treatment of that woman was never the point of anything. *You* brought it up as a distraction. I showed you footage of Fox reporters being heckled at lefty events, and your only line of defense was that BOR is a bully. Yes BOR is a jerk, I don't care, but that has nothing to do with your original question about Fox News appearing at lefty rallies.

And what about the "people" at McCain rallies yelling kill Obama? You mean that one news article where that one reporter claimed to have heard one person say it but there's nothing else to corraborate the story and even the Secret Service said it probably didn't happen? You mean those people?

Apparently you didn't even bother looking at my link in regard to Michelle Malkin. I wasn't "claiming" anything, I was showing you the actual video tape from the DNC convention in Denver.

You're amazing william. Just amazing. Once again, it's nothing but verbatim talking points you pick up from everyone else. Next time save your fingers the trouble of typing and just start copypasting stuff from DKos.

For candance...

What's more amazing is william's accusations about Rightists taking marching orders from Fox News when he keeps vomiting the same tired talking points from the Leftist collective.  Who is taking the marching orders from who here?

I can't think of many at NB who watch BOR much, can you?  I got tired of his act in 2006, and even then I was watching sporadically!  Yet according to william, since we are conservatives, we ALL HAVE to be watching BOR constantly. 

Good job with him, but methinks it's just casting pearls before swine.   He has his pre-programmed talking points and soon his masters will pull the string on his back to get him to start typing out responses again...

of course unsane

He'll return in a day or so with another list of off-topic accusations. I know I won't make a dent in his mind, but at least it'll force him to get more creative with his whining.

Besides...

Who gives a crap about michelle malkin. I mean seriously, you might as well be whining about the death threats that ann coulter gets. Please forgive me for not shedding a tear for ann coulter or michelle malkin. Yeah, death threats are no fun...but, you know what?...you recieve what you project. If you project hate, you're gonna get hate in return. What can I say? karma is a b**ch.

 

Trix are for kids, fox is for fools

so william

Do you have anything to add to this thread besides accusations hurled at conservatives? Anything at all? You ignore all of my points at every turn and just shoot back with a list of complaints about random people. Now you're whining about Ann Coulter? Really?

That is why people call you a troll. You don't want to debate things. You don't want to consider anyone else's side. You showed up here only interested in attacking in Fox News. Now that you've shot your wad on that, it's on with the list of complaints about everyone else. EXACTLY what I predicted to Unsane because it's EXACTLY what we see from every other HuffPo robot who comes here.

I am officially done with you. Henceforth I will regard you as a troll until you prove that you can act otherwise. I encourage my fellow NBers to treat you the same.

lol williams

as you say

you recieve what you project

Bring your C-game

 Having read Michelle Malkin and Ann Coulter (who I am not a big fan of by any stretch), I fail to see where they are hateful.  I sure would like to see some specific quotes where they are hateful.

Until then, you have just peeled back the curtain a little bit more in exposing your character.  Not only are you intellectually bankrupt and hopelessly imprisoned by your stereotypical view of the world, you are an extremely hate-filled person who simply cannot tolerate ANY disagreement.  Basically, it fills you with total rage that conservatives are permitted to breathe, much less say ANYTHING at all.  From everything you have posted, it is all quite evident.

Maybe it is too much to ask you bring your B-game here.  Try the C-game.

Then, if I was foolish enough to believe in karma...

...I'd make it a point to stay far away from you.

Neither Ms. Malkin nor Ms. Coulter are the mongers of hate you wish they were.  However, we get daily movements from the bowels of the liberal Obamarazzi that demonstrate hate on a Wagnerian scale.

nonsense

If that clip doesn't make you want to just bang your head against a wall I don't know what does.  This is all so frustrating.  Down with socialism and down with the liberal media that are bold face lying to people! 

  Yea and what's even more

 
Yea and what's even more disgusting is the nation's largest newspaper, where most of the MSM get's it's headlines for the day, is not running one story or printing word one about the protest's, even though one was put on in central Park and had Newt Gingrich as a speaker.

The Grey Lady can't die fast enough for me.

You're right, Blazer. I

You're right, Blazer. I finally found this buried in the Politics section. The NYT's main point?: Although organizers insisted they had created a nonpartisan grass-roots movement, others argued that these parties were more of the Astroturf variety: an occasion largely created by the clamor of cable news and fueled by the financial and political support of current and former Republican leaders.

A very dismissive attitude. Die, Times, Die.

If the Republicans had this kind of grass-roots support, we would be watching President McCain go off to Mexico yesterday.

All of these comments by Pelosi are sour grapes.  How can you believe Madame Nancy who promised the most open and bipartisan Congress?  I am still waiting to see it.

The woman is not a journalist or a reporter of any kind. She is a propagandist for the Obama State Media. Nothing else. lets not use her name, lets just call her yellow tooth

No one needs to question bias in the MSM anymore

Res ipsa loquitor.  The MSM doesn't even care about the breach of objective journalism--this is a clear case in point. Screeming back at the crowd "what about the $400 refund Obame is going to give you" is so shocking that even the extreme left ought to give pause (but it won't). This is a country founded on the principle that elected officials are to serve the citizens and not the other way around.  It is legitimate to have concern about government out of control spending and peacefully attend a rally that protests an out of touch government--OR IS IT?  (CNN--I'm asking that question to you)

She will be working for Obama soon.

"What group are you with that brought you out here" she says.

She is part clueless and part pissed off that she has to go cover people with opposing views and she can't hold back her differences with them and just report like a real journalist is supposed to do.

Don't be surprised if you see this woman leave CNN soon and go to work for the Obama administration like so many other reporters in the "drive by media" have done.

This reporter learned

This reporter learned absolutely nothing in Journo school. If she went at all.

CNN should fire this woman IMMEDIATELY!

Simple as that...I don't care what form they come in.

I saw this stuff yesterday...(not this full report here from Noel and The Founding Bloggers)...but I had to stay off the internet yesterday at a point because of my anger with the msm...I saw Kyra earlier int he morning asking if this was just a stunt...I had other things jotted down to post about...(the site here was having problems so in the end it was probably a good thing I couldn't get there I was so angry by then) ...

Has anybody read the Left-Behind Series ...I did years and years ago...and I cannot believe how much is coming to fruition...yesterday and this morning has reminded me of all of it.

We will not be silenced, cowed, nor intimated...the msm and the politicians are going to be getting a huge wake-up call from here on out until we Take OUR COUNTRY BACK!

CNN should be happy

CNN should be happy to cover these tea parties, they are used to covering anti-war demonstrations where the participants haven't had a bath for weeks.  Also, no giant puppets to put up with.  Or maybe she "gets" the giant puppet thing, I never have.

We need collapsable threads

When some troll sends the comments diving towards the right margin, I end up leaving the thread.  Who can read that nonsense. And who wants to scroll through fifty screens looking for the troll-free zone.

Please, give me collapsable threads to make the interesting commenters better accessible.  (I know you won't, but I still like this idea.)

Liberal: remove all that's Right, and this is what's Left.

The video clip speaks for itself...

This video needs to go viral...It puts to Lie the 'mainstream' medias claims of fair reporting. The smugness of the CNN reporter and her self-evident disdain for the every-day people at this event is exhibit 'A' for the case of worm-tongue journalism...

A critique of this CNN episode

Two dumb sumbiches creating news. I watched the vid 3 times and other than some crass language on a couple of signs, I saw nothing bad. For those who understand the art of propaganda, believe it or not, the CNN reporter(?) did an excellent job. She accused people of doing/saying/ ilegal and/or harmful things. Then she used the voices in the background to paint the proetestors as people of violence.

Wsas this part of the ACORN plan to disrupt th rally?? Does CNN think they did a professional job??

 I will continue to watch Lou Dobbs. I will never watch anything else on that network. 

 

who is...

The mom that the CNN "reporter" is getting schooled by? I would like to shake her hand.

This is great when the

This is great when the cameras are turned around on these Bingo Callers. Why watch the edited version when you can see some raw footage of a partisan pretending to be a journalist. 

Good for her

This shows you the lies and bias,its not even about bias anymore its pure hate from the left to any and all who don't agree with there views.As loog as the CNN person thought she had control she would say what ever she wanted then when taken to task she had nothing but excuses.These people are nothing but lieing lakies for the networks.These people were peaceful tell CNN showed up and made them angre.Talk about insiting a riot.This will turn into an ugly mess if the hate mongers on the left are allowed to continue with this type hate.

CNN

Jessie R. Hamby      That tears it! The MSM is trying to start a war between the PEOPLE. These "hacks" are trying to incite a riot.That is how they operate. Start a fight & record it. Dirty laundry,record it. Low ratings, start a fight & record it. Hell, they could milk that for years. 

I look forward

I look forward to the day thye Communist News Network goes bankrupt and airhead bimbos who portray themselves as journalist, but obviously aren't, are thrown out of their jobs.  This is why CNNs numberas are so meager, because they lie and deceive at every turn to protect socialist liberals and the Democratic Party.

I had to sit for two hours yesterday

waiting for a badge at a large military complex.  All they had on the screen was CNN, and all it had on was the arrival of TOTUS in Mexico.  If we were to examine the statistics on CNN, think we might find that they have ZERO real people voluntarily watching?

CNN Reporter Interrogating a Tea Partier

What was interesting but not surprising was this reporter's high and mighty demeanor and obvious sarcasm at being somewhere she clearly didn't want to be--surrounded by a bunch of ordinary folks she looked down her nose at who (in her own little world) didn't have the right to be protesting anything, especially the government, and oh, by the way she asks, just exactly what are you protesting, don't you know that Chicago just got 50B in stimulus money she callously screeched?  She then made a comment about what the heck these tea parties were all about and I had to stop and think about this one for a minute.  Here we have a CNN reporter, reporting on a tea party going on in Chicago with nationwide tea parties going on all over the place and she has no clue that they are going on or what they are about?  Surely there must be some mistake here.  I mean, take a look at this woman, her makeup, her meticulously streaked hair and she doesn't have a clue as to what these tea parties are all about?  She is either (1) smoking something (2) a product of a SIC (Socialist Indoctrination Center aka a Public School) or (3) just one of them "dumb blondes."  No offense to those blondes who do have a brain.  (I still have a little blonde left) Then when this reporter thought the coast was clear and no one would "call" her on her crude, utterly stupid and uncalled for comments, voila! a woman appeared out of nowhere (thank God) and confronted this disoriented, confused, clueless reporter who couldn't figure out where she was or why she was there or what the heck all these people were protesting.  After being confronted by this woman who admitted she was self-employed and was not brandishing a sign, the reporter found herself in a compromising position in which she was forced to admit (what an untruth aka lie) that "oh gee the camera didn't catch the sign that was clearly marked "Republicans Suck" as she was tidying up her neat little bag of adjectives to describe the crowd she was in and smugly getting ready to tie a big red bufoon ribbon around it. 

We are just now beginning to see this kind of stuff happening.  It's not on the news anymore.  It's in our faces.  It's getting more and more personal.  And you know what, WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE.  Thank you to that courageous young father with his babe cradled in his arms.  Interesting that the CNN reporter picked on him first.  Maybe she figured that with his baby in his arms he wouldn't be able to reach her with a swift left hook to the jaw.  Cudos to you young man.  You did good.  And thanks to that young woman who took her on, also.

GOD, FAMILY, COUNTRY. 

To all you liberals who think otherwise, I'll personally buy you a plane ticket to anywhere you want to go as long as it isn't here.  

 

I like your point of view,

I like your point of view, TeeTee. I guess Ms. Roesgen was simply flabbergasted by the idea of a peaceful protest rally in favor of upholding the Constitution. I'm sure she was much more comfortable with the crowd when the illegals held their fiesta in downtown Chicago. At least she knew what to expect.

TT... I couldn't agree

TT...

I couldn't agree with your sentiments more, so beautifully written too.

What also amazed me was when Susan had the audacity to infer to Norman that he should be thankful that Chicago just got 50 Billion from the Stimulus package...where in the heck does she think that comes from and who the heck does she think pays for it...for decades?

These people really are clueless...it is maddening.

   This reporter is cluesless what the man with his child was saying, she thinks fereral money money given to the state is a good thing, who pays for this? Liberals are very stupid  well educated touchy feely moroniric boobs, they realy have a desease of perception! Tea parties where great I attended one in Temecula Ca. it was great, not one reporter showed up there where over the day 300-600 people . I met the nicest people all well spoken kind family oriented, there where no racist, no one used bad language, we are not radicals, look what happens when the looney radical left has demonstrations whith their rent a Mobs, always violence, bad words, broken windows, private property damage, and alway an arrest or two. I love America, not Obamas Amerika! I leave you with Obama and his Radical killer cousin of the same tribe Obinga on Utube, whent goes throught this you will understand what we are up against and how dangerous Obama is to the USA, he really hates America and he hates white Christians the most and he is a true radical illegal alien president born in Kenya who will be removed within 6 months for treason and gross violations of the US constitutions
