A CNN reporter’s selective outrage


Depends on what the meaning of 'offensive' is...

My RedState.com colleague Jeff Emanuel provided a prime example of just how deep the drive-by media is immersed in the tank for Obama, as CNN’s Susan Roesgen gets in the face of an American citizen exercising his Constitutional rights of free speech and free assembly yesterday.

HotAirPundit has a fine example of Ms. Roesgen’s other side. She was all sweetness and light just three months ago when the protesters were left-wingers:

Even more damning to Ms. Roesgen’s credibility, however is this video, which shows the “reporter” accepting a left-wing protester with devil’s horns and a Hitler mustache as just a Bush “look-alike” — but going all ballistic yesterday over a sign that showed Obama dressed as Hitler. Again, she showed her in-the-face style of reporting. This time, she got all self-righteous with the sign’s bearer, challenging him with, “Do you realize how offensive that is?” You decide:

Ms. Roesgen obviously doesn’t realize how offensive her hypocrisy is.

Update: Allah has this video shot by Founding Bloggers showing Ms. Reosgen getting schooled immediately after her encounter with the citizen in the first video above.

AC and Red Eye

Anderson said “it’s hard to talk when teabagging”…. the Red Eye crew was trying to determine if that was an admission and a coming-out for the AC!?!? No wonder why he has so many Barney Frank interviews!

Yesterday, Ms. Roesgen's body language...

Steve Maley (Diary) Thursday, April 16th at 3:55PM EST (link)

…suggested she had been air-dropped into the middle of a bunch of cannibalistic Mau-Maus.

No offense to any Mau-Maus that may read this, of course.

I'm pretty sure that the implied offense is not what you should apologize

janis (Diary) Thursday, April 16th at 4:09PM EST (link)

for, Vladimir. It’s the idea that cannibals of any ethnicity would eat so rank and bitter a meal such as this one! ;-)

I’ve been hoping it would get more notice. It needs to go viral.

The media attacks Obama............from the far left

robmikpet (Diary) Thursday, April 16th at 4:07PM EST (link)

was that sarcasm or serious?

JLenardDetroit (Diary) Thursday, April 16th at 4:22PM EST (link)

An extremely rare mention of how Code-Pink calls Obama on his campaign lies about being against FISA (then voting for it) and things like that, which CNN/MSNBC immediately after apologies and/or excuses Obama for, is an “attack.” …… Now that I’ve said it out loud, it is obvious you must have been being sarcastic! lol

Sorry I should have said "if" they attack it will be from the far left.

robmikpet (Diary) Thursday, April 16th at 9:41PM EST (link)

and it is not really an attack it is more like please move farther to the left.

 

Watch Obermann attack Obama about the so called

robmikpet (Diary) Sunday, April 19th at 2:17AM EST (link)

torture memos – from the left as Obermann says relaesing them should have been just a first step to prosecuting Bush et al for war crimes.

But in a way the segment is back-handed praise of Obama’s level headedness and willingness to overlook things like this to bring us together.

And my “goes without saying” winning comment – Obermann is the biggest moron EVER ( and I mean ever ) to grace television.

Obermann then goes on to rewrite the inter-war years between WW I and WW II by implying that we knew of Germans to prosecute after WW I and by not doing it, it led to WW II. Which is his way of saying because Bush got away with it the “next Bush” will be Hitler.

It has to be a mental affliction or a total lack of morals to go on TV and JUST MAKE STUFF UP. I cannot conceive of how you look at the camera and do it night after night. IT IS SICK!

Tea Party Protests

wow i mean- she should be fired. Anyway i found this video today that shows how different news outlets are reporting the story. It’s interesting to see the difference in perspectives:

Pay no attention to the man standing behind the curtain!

fmaidment (Diary) Thursday, April 16th at 11:16PM EST (link)

It’s all Fox News! They did this! It’s all a bunch of right-wingers, Republicans and Rupert Murdoch!

No intelligent person could ever believe that they have a right to enjoy the fruits of their labors. No real protest would ever happen because people believe in individualism over collectivism. Conservatives aren’t smart enough to figure out how to organize things at a grass-roots level. That’s what liberals do!

So this all has to be organized by right-wing conspirators and Fox News and not individuals who are fed-up with high taxes, wasteful spending and an overbearing Federal Government!

The irony is, Ms. Roesgen has called into question her own credibility and the credibility of CNN (notice no one at the Anchor Desk questioned her behavior). Until there is a public reprimand of Ms Roesgen from CNN/Time Warner, the credibility of all TW media assets is in question.

This hard-news reporter using the tactics of the news-analysis anchor Bill O’Reilly, which CNN claims to hate.

Wow. Just… Wow…
