Heart-ache: Tea-party-hating superhack out at CNN

TVNewser has learned CNN correspondent Susan Roesgen’s contract will not be renewed and she will be leaving the network…
When TVNewser asked whether Roesgen’s comments at the Chicago tea party rally had anything to do with her not being renewed, a CNN spokesperson said, “I can’t comment on personnel matters.”
Let’s see what we can glean from her most famous assignment. She’s openly contemptuous of conservatives; she eagerly recycles Obama talking points; and she uses “Fox” as if it’s some type of invective. Golly, I wonder which cable news network she’ll land at.

Revenge…best served cold.
coldwarrior on July 16, 2009 at 5:02 PM
MSNBC, here I come.
Thunderstorm129 on July 16, 2009 at 5:02 PM
Has MSNBC given her her own show yet?
AZCoyote on July 16, 2009 at 5:02 PM
awesome
Green Muse on July 16, 2009 at 5:02 PM
MSNBC?
What do I win?
Youngs98 on July 16, 2009 at 5:02 PM
I’m sure Olbermann and Maddow already have her on speed dial.
redfoxbluestate on July 16, 2009 at 5:02 PM
I hear that Team Barry is hiring. She’s a ‘natural’.
GarandFan on July 16, 2009 at 5:03 PM
How can this firing be spun as a job saved?
cyclown on July 16, 2009 at 5:03 PM
She voted for unemployment, well now she’s got it. Hope and Change, baby, yeah!
jimmy2shoes on July 16, 2009 at 5:03 PM
She’ll fit right in at MSNBC. And ironically more people will watch her than if she remained at CNN.
Doughboy on July 16, 2009 at 5:03 PM
It’s either MSNBC, or else she ends up as a journalism professor at Columbia U.
AZCoyote on July 16, 2009 at 5:03 PM
She HAS to go to MSNBC. Even if she was a staunch conservative, she isn’t good looking enough, or smart enough to be at Fox!
Star20 on July 16, 2009 at 5:04 PM
I can see republicans like revenge but they hate it when DOD fired the guy who challenged Obama’s placed of birth.
equality on July 16, 2009 at 5:04 PM
I’m thinkin’ a Point-Counterpoint show, much like the one with Jane Curtain and Dan Aykroyd, when Saturday Night Live didn’t suck.
The same personal insults, too.
I’d watch it.
OhEssYouCowboys on July 16, 2009 at 5:04 PM
Ruh Roh…I just assumed she was going to be kicked up to management.
d1carter on July 16, 2009 at 5:04 PM
“Mmmm, Susan, Larry Flynt on line 2.”
coldwarrior on July 16, 2009 at 5:05 PM
Let me quote the fawning Obama MSM reporters, Cool………..
hmfearny on July 16, 2009 at 5:05 PM
Soon to be a roving reporter for Olbermann, no doubt.
pseudonominus on July 16, 2009 at 5:05 PM
How are the two related?
lorien1973 on July 16, 2009 at 5:05 PM
Oh, and their hairspray budget better be goin’ up.
OhEssYouCowboys on July 16, 2009 at 5:05 PM
The White House News Network? Whatever happened to that? Have they covered anything since that women’s basketball or volleyball or whatever team came to the White House?
Joe Caps on July 16, 2009 at 5:05 PM
Don’t let the door hit yer azzz on the way out.
I’m such a right-wing hater, aren’t I.
Maybe Olby or Rachel Maddow need an intern.
RobCon on July 16, 2009 at 5:05 PM
Karma’s a b!tch.
txag92 on July 16, 2009 at 5:05 PM
She can just fill in for Olby and Maddow. Perfect fit.
JetBoy on July 16, 2009 at 5:06 PM
All networks are liberal. She will have a job soon enough. Maybe Shep will hire her as a roving reporter.
faraway on July 16, 2009 at 5:06 PM
Well, she could go and work for the Obama Administration.
Officially.
Let’s see:
(a) MSNBC
(b) Academia
(c) Lefty blog (Media Matters, Think Progress)
(d) Obama Administration
(e) all of the above
SteveMG on July 16, 2009 at 5:07 PM
Forget MSNBC. Robert Gibbs needs to watch his back.
Mr. D on July 16, 2009 at 5:07 PM
Maybe Playboy will do layout on pompus media babes.
Then again from the looks of her….better make it Swank.
RobCon on July 16, 2009 at 5:07 PM
Might want to get your facts straight there.
Oh, wait, as a liberal, facts are irrelevant to you.
malclave on July 16, 2009 at 5:07 PM
Sci-Fi. She heard they get a lot of footage of aliens getting killed. Boy, won’t she be surprised when she learns they aren’t “that” kind of alien.
BobMbx on July 16, 2009 at 5:07 PM
1 down, thousands more to go…
katy on July 16, 2009 at 5:07 PM
Maybe she can replace Gibbs?
cannonball on July 16, 2009 at 5:07 PM
How is that a personal matter?
Did she mean that she can’t comment on confidential matters or something?
blink on July 16, 2009 at 5:08 PM
Don’t worry…Obama will save you.
RobCon on July 16, 2009 at 5:08 PM
personnel means employee related matters.
lorien1973 on July 16, 2009 at 5:08 PM
Watch out, Robert Gibbs.
OhioCoastie on July 16, 2009 at 5:09 PM
Good
f*cking
riddance
you stupid
dumb
moron
f*ck
blatantblue on July 16, 2009 at 5:09 PM
Safe to say she burned bridges at FOX.
RobCon on July 16, 2009 at 5:09 PM
Buh-bye.
CP on July 16, 2009 at 5:09 PM
i heard the economic downturn is forcing some women to the strip clubs. she can try that.
she’s gonna go hungry though.

“Thanks Jane, you miserable slut.”

BobMbx on July 16, 2009 at 5:10 PM
I have no patience for sheeple such as this journalist
lapdancing fool — doing everything she can for Obarfy.
whos placing bets on Administration placement?
blatantblue on July 16, 2009 at 5:10 PM
Mark one for the good guys.
RobCon on July 16, 2009 at 5:10 PM
yea, drink up.
faraway on July 16, 2009 at 5:11 PM
It’s not nice to mess with the Middle America crowd: (See also Letterman’s loss of sponsors).
TN Mom on July 16, 2009 at 5:11 PM
Well, three of the first five commenters chose the obvious – PMS-NBC. But GarandFan sees the Audacity of Propaganda more clearly:
Look for yet another to make the tiny step from Media Supplicant to Obama Knob-Wench.
Jaibones on July 16, 2009 at 5:11 PM
Well, I am sure that some of those millions and billions of dollars that Obama is sending to Illinois or wherever will take care of her. Hope and change and unemployment.
Terrye on July 16, 2009 at 5:11 PM
It seemed awful at the time but the guy with Obama is fascist poster makes a “little” more sense as I read more about Obama care and his “Science Czar”.
RobCon on July 16, 2009 at 5:11 PM
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer lady…..
DL13 on July 16, 2009 at 5:11 PM
Crow for you , schadenfreude for me.

SHARPTOOTH on July 16, 2009 at 5:12 PM
and on a happier note…3 more cats will get adopted from the animal shelter tonight.
CMonster on July 16, 2009 at 5:12 PM
(Afterthought – what tier do I get dropped down to for saying “Knob-Wench”? Damn…)
Jaibones on July 16, 2009 at 5:12 PM
Just like a thousand Lawyers at the bottom of the sea…It’s a start.
birdhurd on July 16, 2009 at 5:12 PM
crow meet journalist, er former
tarpon on July 16, 2009 at 5:13 PM
Olby needs a new c.offee gofer
RobCon on July 16, 2009 at 5:13 PM
A more appropriate title for this story: CNN Reporter gets “Tea-bagged”
Blue_State_Blues on July 16, 2009 at 5:13 PM
I’ll bring a bag of dimes.
RobCon on July 16, 2009 at 5:14 PM
She should sue CNN for employment discrimination. They clearly only fired her because she’s a female. It’s obvious CNN doesn’t give a damn about journalistic integrity, political bias, or on-air decorum, or else they wouldn’t have kept Anderson Cooper around after he showed us all his a$$ during the Tea Parties. Cooper’s sneering condescension toward tax protestors, and his incessant jokes about “teabagging” were every bit as unprofessional, if not more so, than Roesgen’s behavior.
It’s clearly a gender discrimination thing. Where’s Gloria Allred when you need her?
AZCoyote on July 16, 2009 at 5:14 PM
You mean something like “Susan, you ignorant slut. Your inability to get the facts right is almost as bad as your inability to achieve orgasm!” ?
Patrick S on July 16, 2009 at 5:14 PM
How’s that hope and change, chick?
SouthernGent on July 16, 2009 at 5:15 PM
Didn’t that stupid idiot dad realize he was eligible for a $400 tax credit?
Igrate.
guntotinglibertarian on July 16, 2009 at 5:15 PM
The White House News Network? I thought that was MSNBC
Steven W on July 16, 2009 at 5:15 PM
Like a 1000 lawyers at the bootom of the sea…
It’s a start.
birdhurd on July 16, 2009 at 5:16 PM
She’ll get a gubmint spokesperson job. Journos and press depts. are incestuous cesspits.
JAM on July 16, 2009 at 5:16 PM
That giant Hoover sucking sound is the NEXT evil twit CNN is filling this woman’s job vacancy with.
As for Roesgen…even Celtic Diva has found a place occupying as Queen Pimple on the Ass-end of The Great Society.
bluelightbrigade on July 16, 2009 at 5:16 PM
Maybe she can walk the dog at the White House.
RobCon on July 16, 2009 at 5:16 PM
I understand there is a trend for unemployed professional women to become strippers…
I’d be happy to slip a Susan B. Anthony dollar into her g-string.
guntotinglibertarian on July 16, 2009 at 5:16 PM
I got nothing!!
Cindy Munford on July 16, 2009 at 5:17 PM
I’d like to welcome Susan Roesgen to join the ranks of the rest of us who don’t have a camera crew and microphone following us around.
gatorboy on July 16, 2009 at 5:18 PM
Be patient. Ogabe will get ’round to you just as soon as he’s done filling up Peggy the Moocher’s gas tank.
guntotinglibertarian on July 16, 2009 at 5:19 PM
I guess even CNN has a line that is not to be crossed.
Seeing as how she proudly did this to herself, her future career plans will be entertaining. Both from the standpoint of who she tries to get a job with, and who will hire her. I wouldn’t put it past FOX to hire her just so they can tease her for a while then dump her for not being good at her job.
I am not always above schadenfreude.
cozmo on July 16, 2009 at 5:19 PM
awwww. Well, maybe she had a reason to support the expansion of the welfare state. But she’ll probably end up being the “Tea Party Czar”.
hawksruleva on July 16, 2009 at 5:20 PM
No no…that’s SyFy now…
JetBoy on July 16, 2009 at 5:20 PM
That’s cause you haven’t bent over yet like half the country has
We’re all going to be taking it pretty hard from the Obarfuck administration.
blatantblue on July 16, 2009 at 5:20 PM
She’ll have to return those “I (heart) Obama” kneepads.
locomotivebreath1901 on July 16, 2009 at 5:20 PM
She will end up at Al Jazeera.
Mark1971 on July 16, 2009 at 5:21 PM
Her living room has plush carpet.
That’ll do.
blatantblue on July 16, 2009 at 5:22 PM
Yhanks for sharing that, kid. Now run along, the adults are in charge on this thread. getalife.

Not only that, after Obama you have -$450,000. Congratulations.

Don’t encourage the lad. He’ll be talkin’ ’bout Helen Thomas any moment now. :-)
coldwarrior on July 16, 2009 at 5:24 PM
Joe Biden sees a job created or saved for her.

ROTFLMAO!
txag92 on July 16, 2009 at 5:26 PM
Waiting for a CNN defender to come along to tell us how they’re great and Faux News sucks.
Once again, C-NN proves it’s THEmost BUSTEDname in news.
Del Dolemonte on July 16, 2009 at 5:26 PM
Ten flavors of awesome right there!
RedNewEnglander on July 16, 2009 at 5:27 PM
Hey
HEY
Don’t hold back, BB, tell us how you really feel…
ladyingray on July 16, 2009 at 5:27 PM
I’ll tell you how I feel.
I f*cking HATE these “journalists.”
I hate the word and what it has come to represent.
I HATED sitting in Journalism 101 a year ago, listening to these self aggrandizing PRICKS sit there and talk about how great their community was — how they were the “watch dogs of government,” finding the “truth for the American people.”
I hated how they continually patted themselves on the back.
It made me sick to my f*cking stomach having to sit near an editor from Newsday on Long Island, a pukestain from TIME, some other moron from Newsweek.
It pained me to have to listen to guest lectures from producers from CBS and other outlets.
They are some of the most self absorbed, spiteful, jerks I’ve ever been around.
They talked about the “journalistic process.” I laughed out loud in spite of their pathetic dronings on about integrity, fairness, and balance.
They really make me sick. I’m glad I dropped journalism as a minor, and the letter I wrote to them (as part of the final), savaging them as the pathetic snobs they were was worth the C- I got as a result. I’d do it again any day.
blatantblue on July 16, 2009 at 5:27 PM
Don’t encourage the lad. He’ll be talkin’ ’bout Helen Thomas any moment now. :-)
coldwarrior on July 16, 2009 at 5:24 PM
Oh, sorry. :)
txag92 on July 16, 2009 at 5:28 PM
Sorry, I feel sorry for her… who knows what things were said to her just because she was a reporter…

Filter worthy, eh?
txag92 on July 16, 2009 at 5:29 PM
This is all our fault!
Heh! :-D
SouthernGent on July 16, 2009 at 5:30 PM
I don’t know.
I’m thinking she should go back to school and do something else…decorate houses?
bridgetown on July 16, 2009 at 5:31 PM
