What CNN Didn't Show you of Tea Party Interviews | "Divide and conquer" | NewsBusters.org »
Posted By tadair919 7 months, 1 week ago in Political NewsCoverage 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.
Mainstream media plays dumb about the real meaning of the tea parties. CNN's "divide and conquer" strategy against the American people backfires.

The old left/right, Democrat/Republican, Liberal/Conservative political paradigm is breaking down. However, the mainstream media has proven itself to have vested interests in its maintenance.

There are few of us who enjoy reading, or even talking about politics. But if there was ever a time that we needed to ditch the left v right duality, then now would be that time.-

"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." -

this anamatronic robot probably imagines he is doing something of great importance. behind his keyboard, he mindlessly clicks away, propping up articles like a good little rank-and-filer. He thinks he is performing a great service but he doesn't see the irony. this person is a prime example of somebody who is so deep in the two-party trance that he doesn't even read past the headlines before voting down an article.

You can take this with a grain of salt, but Gawker claims that Susan Roesgen applied for work at Fox twice in 2005:

"CNN's Susan Roesgen went nuts on the air Wednesday at a Chicago tea party, blaming everything (accurately) on Fox News. But maybe she was angry because Fox turned her down for a job—twice!
Roesgen got snippy with a crazy interviewee while trying to cover the tea partiers, and the crowd turned on her. "I think you get the general tenor of this," she said. "It's anti-government, anti-CNN since this is highly promoted by the right-wing conservative network Fox."
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."
It will be interesting to see if this is an urban legend - or not.-

Moving to Fox is nothing more than a calculated career move for many. It is sort of like a pro wrestler being the bad guy one week, the good guy the next, and back to being the bad guy again before the month is out. The media, including Fox, CNN, etc... are out for one thing, themselves. The adversary relationship is only beneficial.
