Ms. Roesgen's "contract will not be renewed and she will be
leaving the network," Chris Ariens, managing editor of TV Newser,
wrote in an exclusive report. According to Ariens, a CNN
spokesperson was not authorized "to comment on personnel matters"
regarding Ms. Roesgen, who joined the cable-news channel in 2005.
While covering an April 15 "Tea Party" protest in Chicago, Ms.
Roesgen got into an on-camera argument with one protester
who criticized the Obama administration's economic policy.
According to a
transcript of the live broadcast, Ms. Roesgen told the
protester, "Sir, what does this have to do with taxes?… Did
you know that [Illinois] gets $50 billion out of the stimulus?
That's $50 billion for this state, sir." Ms. Roesgen then told
CNN anchor Kyra Phillips, "Uh, it's anti-government, anti-CNN,
since this is highly promoted by the right-wing conservative
network, Fox."
Subsequently
interviewed on a radio program, the protester said Ms.
Roesgen's comments "confirmed something that I knew all
along" about "liberal bias that's been going on in the media."
In the wake of the incident, Ms. Roesgen "took a break for a few
weeks," according to TV Newser, and more recently reported
from Los Angeles about the death of pop singer Michael
Jackson.
Many conservative
sit blogs responded gleefully Thursday to the reported
end of Ms. Roesgen's CNN career. although veteran blogger Dan
Riehl wrote: "Actually, I hope she gets another gig. Out of work
is still out of work."
Susan's a disgrace. Perhaps she'll learn something valuable from
this experience and will attempt impartial reporting in the
future.
One can only hope.

The Tea Protestor dad spoke of principles and values where
Roesgen's response to it was about bribery...now how
mindnumbingly pathetic is that.

Roesgen IS a nice replica of an actual reporter, until she opens
her mouth. Now she can get that job announcing "blue light
specials" at her local Wal-Mart.
I'm sure the Pretenders administration will find her a position.
Assistant to Gibbs maybe. I've got it they can make her the Press
Czar (Czarina?) to save the newspapers and find a way to shut
down talk radio. If she's behind on her taxes she's a shoe in.

Hey, take a few of the other losers with you, while you're at it.

Now, if the ENTIRE MSNBC network would simply become ELIMINATED
due to salious biasness.....!!!!!!!!!!!

She should be the Czar of Propaganda for the CrockObama
administration. As pathetic she was during the tea party
telecast, she is exactly the type who supports CrockObama;
uninformed uneducated, unfair and undeniably stupid.

Kudos to CNN for making the right move. Now if they'd just shut
down the rest of the network....
I am a firm
believer in the value of internationalization. When I was in
college my experaince working with students and staff from other
nations really opened up my
mind to working outside of the US. I now live in Panama and run a
successful buisness here.
