Watch this video as CNN reporter Susan Roesgen is openly contemptuous of the tea party movement. She badgers the man she interviews and repeatedly cuts off his answers, bashes Fox News, is sarcastic and rude the entire time, and then says they need to cut the feed because it’s not suitable for “family viewing”.
Yet she doesn’t seem to understand why that attitude would cause the crowds to be unfriendly to her. Gee, I wonder why.
Of course, this isn’t suitable family viewing. But, as Michelle pointed out, a man wearing a Bush mask with devil horns and a Hitler mustache IS, was suitable for Susan Roesgen, because it looked like him.
Even the anchor at the end of the clip was contemptuous. According to her, this is indicative of what they’re following across the country, and she said that Susan showed “plain and clear… what she’s dealing with”. You know, because dealing with us ignorated, uneducated hicks who are part of the right wing, conservative, Fox-funded/anti-CNN network is so hazardous. People couldn’t have possibly been so unfriendly and angry towards her because she was being an obnoxious, sarcastic, stuck-up little bitch, right?
Oh wait, that probably was the reason.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is what passes for responsible, unbiased journalism in today’s mainstream media.
Hat Tip: Hot Air
I’m surprised Roesgen didn’t mention that ‘95% of Americans are getting a tax cut’, because it sounded like she had a few Obama campaign talking points to dish out. That is, until she cut the interview short to save children from the horror of watching tea parties!
I never, ever watch CNN voluntarily. Ever since their days of cozying up to the Saddam Hussein regime, I have steered clear. The American people would be better informed about world affairs by simply living in caves and ignoring CNN, MSNBC, CBS, and the rest of the usual suspects altogether.
Bobv says: “Why do you say he’s a fascist, he’s the president of the United States”. . . “Do you realize how offensive that is?” . . “Why be so hard on the president”
So, where was she for the last 8 years?
Mark says: CNN is pure crap! I don’t even have it on my preferred list of TV channels.
Roxeanne de Luca says: So it’s offensive to call Obama a fascist, but is not offensive to do the following things: call President Bush a fascist, a hick, an idiot, a Nazi; call all of Obmaa’s opponents a bunch of uneducated racist hicks; or call Sarah Palin any number of names.
Double standards, much?
Melinda P says: We can all guess who she voted for because it’s obvious! It wasn’t family viewing because she was right up in that man’s face badgering him! CNN needs to get their heads out of the sand and realize that we the people aren’t as dumb as they think we are! Oh wait, their not going to listen to us as long as the government is dumping money into them.
And here is a little interesting point. The dipshit reporter in question had applied for Fox News not once, but twice. Guess there’s a little sour grapes that she didn’t get a job there.
Also, does anyone wonder why CNN is dead last in ratings for the cable networks?
