CNN Mum on Roesgen
Wondering what CNN did with Susan Roesgen? You know, the CNN reporter who questioned the father with 2-year-old child at the Chicago Tea Party last week, cutting him off mid-sentence, among other rude treatment?
Phillip Kent, chairman and CEO of CNN did not reply to my query on what, if any, actions have been taken regarding Ms. Roesgen’s unprofessional behavior in covering the Chicago Tea Party April 15.

Apparently, Ms. Roesgen is on a “previously scheduled” vacation (tip of the hat to the Berman Post for that tidbit). Very conveniently timed vacation, when Ms. Roesgen’s name is mud to a great many Americans angered by her behavior “interviewing” Tea Party protesters while covering that Chicago Tea Party last Wednesday. And isn’t it ironic that amid the silence from CNN, they have demanded YouTube pull all the video footage of Ms. Roesgen reporting on the Chicago Tea Party from the internet? Don’t you find it hilarious that because Founding Bloggers was there at the scene and has its own video footage of Ms. Roesgen’s reporting skills at the Tea Party in Chicago, that CNN is not, according to at least one lawyer’s opinion, in a strong position to completely obliterate the embarassing behavior of their reporter and anchor at the aforementioned Tea Party?
When Ms. Roesgen comes back from her vacation, wonder if CNN will carry on as if nothing ever happened? Think Americans will have ‘forgotten’ her behavior?

Overall, I think it’s the best encapsulation of the media’s inability to spin the GOP’s shift toward libertarianism. She’s a disgrace as a journalist, and she’s clearly caught up in talking point hysteria. That’s what happens, though when the paradigm shifts, the establishment gets a bit miffed the old narrative has ended. I’m glad our national conversation has shifted toward how best to invest our nation’s wealth, it’s just a real shame that the sloganeering and name calling are still ringing out.
