Ms. Roesgen's antics (along with Anderson Cooper's) were a grotesque travesty of news reporting. CNN defense of her makes them a grotesque travesty of a news network

The "Mainstream" Media: By liberals. For liberals.

The reporter's bias, hostility, and disrespect is obvious. No need to comment on her behavior, since it speaks for itself.

But I don't want to skip the editors. This wasn't one reporter's view. Some producer and editor put her there, knowing full well what she was going to do. That's why they put her there.

This was CNN as a whole, displaying contempt for these citizens protesting. CNN is happy when citizens protest, so long as the protest is liberal - but when conservatives protest, they go out of their way to frame it negatively.

Remember this the next time the media claims to give a damn about you. Remember this the next time they promote their right to free speech; they've proved that they care about their own free speech, but no one else's. Remember this the next time they claim to report the news without bias.

to see any footage of how CNN reporters questioned Cindy Sheehan and Code Pinkos when they were protesting.

and pick up her counter-demonstration sign and step to the other side of the sidewalk (or whatever the legal designation for number of yards between counter protestors.)  She had no business "interviewing" people.  She's harrassing them.

I await the rebuttal from our NB devil's advocates (aka, "liberal-bias deniers").

To be honest, I don't believe Roesgen deserves all this attention. What an ignorant hack. It appears she was hired for her looks. That's the only explanation that makes sense. A high school student could have done a better job covering the rally. Be that as it may, why is it that chicks like her feel they need to defend the honor of the Dear Leader? How emasculating is that? 

Further, it's laughable for example, to compare the sort of fawning coverage on the likes of CNN for the illegal immigrant rallies to the Tea Party rallies. In the case of the illegals, we have people giving status to those who have broken the law. In the case of the Tea Party coverage, we have the MsM demonizing honest American citizens who are merely defending the Constitution. Or how about the sympathetic treatment of Cindy Sheehan - who anyone with a scintilla of intellectual honesty would consider a certified nutjob. Who in the mainstream media ever asked her whether or not she thought the things she had to say about Pres. Bush were disrespectful?

IMO, the MsM coverage (or lack of coverage) of the Tea Party phenomenon is by far the most blatant and ignorant example of media bias to date.

Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage's whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of the tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men. - Ayn Rand

Remember the anti-Bush march in NYC the day before the Republican convention? Bush was portrayed as evil in every way possible. I don't remember CNN asking the protestors if they thought it was offensive.

The left will try to point us out as lunatics.  As said at the Dallas Tax Day Tea Party yesterday, "We will be called haters.  And we are!  We are haters of big spending liberal politicians!  We will be called racists.  And we are!  We are members of the human race!  We just prefer those who are responsible!

The tea party movement will continue to grow as the conservative sleeping giant is now fully awake and hungry.  Feeding time is November 2010.

be surprised.  Because of people like her, I stopped watching the main stream media years ago.  No one, except a masochist, likes to slapped across the face while watching what is supposed to be "news reporting".  To quote Rush, "These people are hideous" and I agree.  Jim Webster

I thought Bush's lookalike was Alfred E. Newman.

The only problem is that man who said Obama is a fascist should have been able to argue his point better than a 10-year old. If I were to hold that sign I'd have had my talking point ready.

"Obama is a fascist because he is taking away our freedoms, while pandering to those who helped get into power. Like many fascists these people will do anything to keep power, and will rise to any criticism."

I keep telling my friends, just wait. There is going to be a law passed, and the media will jump up and down to support it, which will make it a crime to mock the president.

Oh the horror, someone compared the president to hitler..

Get over it bitches'.

Michelle Malkin covered this blatant hypocrisy on her Web site as well, giving credit to NewsBusters for uncovering the 'Bush as Hitler Lookalike' clip from over 3 years ago. 

Love seeing NewsBusters credited for their body of work.  The average viewer isn't going to remember a supposedly impartial reporter thinking the comparison of Bush to Hitler is a big joke.  But thanks to NewsBusters, all one has to do is see a reporter make an a$$ of themselves on national television, search the archives and say, 'oh yea, she was an incompetent a$$ years ago too!'

Make no mistake, people who think it is appropriate to compare ANY of our leaders to Hitler are juvenile clowns.  Last I checked, neither Bush nor Obama created a holocaust.  Criticizing ideology is fine, hyperbolic comparisons are not. 

What Roesgen doesn't realize is that by finding the Bush/Hitler comparison to be nothing more than a lookalike, but the Obama/Hitler comparison is just too much to bear, and 'offensive' to so many people, she is no better than the man in that video clip.  She is at that low level.  Problem being, she is supposed to be a journalist, a professional.  Unfortunately, with yesterday's reporting Roesgen demonstrated that she is neither. 

On the other hand, here's hoping Susan Roesgen keeps providing biased comedy bits for those of us who realize that CNN is nothing more than a perpetual punchline anyway.
