CNN's Susan Roesgen, whose anti-TEA Party pseudo-reporting made her a legend in her own mind, and a biased Obama-flack hack in ours, is in the news on her own (de)merit again today.
One peculiar line from one of her peculiar rant-filled reports was that the TEA Parties were being "anti-CNN" because they were "highly promoted by the right-wing conservative network Fox."
Well it turns out she wasn't always so anti-Fox. According to Gawker, Miss Roesgen not once but twice applied to get a gig at the EEE-vile Murdoch machine.
From the Gawker:
Back in 2005, though, according to a Fox News source, Roesgen really wanted to work for that right-wing conservative network. She sent a tape of her on-air work to Fox's then-programming chief Kevin Magee in January 2005, and followed up with another reel to Magee's successor Bill Shine in September 2005. Needless to say, she didn't get the gig.
Sour grapes for the Lass, perhaps? It seems the old adage, amended slightly, holds true; Hell hath no fury like a reporter scorned.

April 17, 2009 - 13:47 ET by Indiana JoeJust proves that so-called "journalists" are pretty much willing to go where the bucks are, principles bedamned. So, which way does she really swing? It could be a sign of "no bias," but the Fox-bashing just makes her sound like a sore loser. And a hypocrite, to boot!
Hoist with her own petard. Ya gotta love it!

April 17, 2009 - 13:54 ET by ConservativeRexIt seems newsreaders are not much different that actors or actresses. They have an ax to grind for percieved wrongs in life and they project them onto any target they can hit.
Most actors/actresses come from totally disfunctional families or are completely disfunctional in their own life.
It appears there are a lot of talking heads in/from, the same boat.

I wish there was an anti-cnn
April 17, 2009 - 13:59 ET by obxrayI wish there was an anti-cnn and msm protest. They are the one's to target in my mind. And no I don't mean shuting them down but for them to do their job in reporting fact's, ect..Remember folk's ,most people get their new's from msm.
They were yelling at her...
April 17, 2009 - 14:02 ET by StarAZFoix helpfully pointed out that the partiers were yelling "You are not a reporter" at her!
That was not protesting her.
April 17, 2009 - 14:08 ET by obxrayThat was not protesting her. They were saying that because she was doing obamy talking point's not reporting.
What?
April 17, 2009 - 14:50 ET by StarAZHow is that not protesting her? Also, they showed two people with no signs telling her something like we don't have signs, this is why we are here etc. Some people did take her on.
Who cares, she was a rude
April 17, 2009 - 20:49 ET by general companyLittle witch, she deserved what she got. She failed her profession as well, her family, and her inlaws, you know, the Palin standards.

Until we get serious and start attacking their pocketbooks . . .
April 17, 2009 - 20:41 ET by CKA in Red State USA. . .they've no incentive to change.
When we begin to collectively press their advertisers, maybe then we will see some turnaround in what CNN and the rest of the advocacy/adversary media are now.
Meanwhile, we're pretty much just blowing hot air their way.
Of course, if their ratings continue to drop as they are, they won't be around much longer.
But it's about money, not fairness, honesty, honor, whatever.
They know and we'd better awaken to that.
BTW: We've taken their bait if we attack them. They've made themselves news and we've helped them.
Not smart at all.
This is exactly what needs to happen.
April 17, 2009 - 22:04 ET by pahuberThe question is whether or not conservatives are up to voting their pocketbooks or continue down the same tired path of complaining w/o action.
Godspeed.

Why? So they can get a news surge from us?
April 17, 2009 - 20:45 ET by CKA in Red State USAOr so they can play the victim card even more?
With respects, we should do nothing to help them make themselves even more news that they already have tried.
That's part of what they did in the Chicago Tea Party and it's worked pretty well for them.
IMO.

Court TV next
April 17, 2009 - 14:51 ET by slickwillie2001When talking heads like Roesgen are on their way down and out, Court TV is generally the last stop before they go to work for the TV station in their hometown. After her display this week, I suspect that CNN won't be renewing her contract whenever it ends. I don't see them firing her immediately though.

A credit to Fox
April 17, 2009 - 15:15 ET by TheCynicThe fact that they didn't hire her is a real credit to the Fox vetting process. They must have sensed that she sucked at her job, and hey, look, they were right.
This revelation about her
April 17, 2009 - 15:25 ET by Bruce_in_KCThis revelation about her job seeking past just shows that the lines of distinction between members of the mainstream media and members of the world's oldest profession are quickly blurring.......

Roesgen Applied to Fox
April 17, 2009 - 15:44 ET by nandrelliReminds me of the old joke about the man who asks his secretary:
"Would you have sex with me for a million dollars?"
"Of course!!" she said.
After a few seconds of silence, the man asked "Would you have sex with me for $20?"
Shocked, she says "Of course not. What kind of a girl do you think I am?"
He says "We've already established that. Now we're just negotiating for a price."
Obviously, Fox News wouldn't match Roesgen's price, so she ended up with CNN, which gets about one-third the prime-time ratings that Fox does.
Oh, I LOVE this!!!
April 17, 2009 - 15:52 ET by PrairieSkyWell, well, well...Isn't this interesting???
That stupid, hypocritical piece of garbage tried to get a job with Fox, even given how she clearly feels politically? Roesgen must have needed a job awful bad to lower herself, not once but twice, to send a reel of her, uh, I guess we can call it, work, to the evil Fox News...
I just LOVE this...

April 17, 2009 - 22:26 ET by VinncyGNever, ever trust a Lib for truth or fairness. I really don't understand her position against conservative Fox Network? They gave her all the consideration her application deserved, It was clean up the bathroom floors or don't bother us again, go to CNN where no talent bums are the main course and only your mother will watch.
Libs, they are sooooooo fair.
These elitist are great
April 17, 2009 - 22:41 ET by general companyI guess it is safe to say she will never be getting the job at Fox, not even the mailroom is avalible for her. Talk about just deserts.

Rejection by Fox News
April 18, 2009 - 18:15 ET by wjneillSo, when did denial of employment by Fox News become detrimental to one's career advancement?
Just seeking employment at Fox News would be indicative of one's absence of professional capabilities and inability to obtain gainful employment in the real world.
