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.

Biden – “We have to spend money to keep from going bankrupt”
On Drudge now. LOL
lorien1973 on July 16, 2009 at 5:32 PM
Her main problem is that she is just not very good at her job. If she were hot, she could probably get away with it. But she is not hot. Not at all.

See ya! Wouldn’t want to be ya!
No great loss since ‘reporters’ like her are a dime-a-dozen on all the networks… but it’s a start.
SilverStar830 on July 16, 2009 at 5:34 PM
I always have a warm place in my for a ‘gotcha’ against a lib. Not that I’d hire her to clean my apartment and wash my dishes, of course. Minimum wage is more than she’s worth.

Dang it! Her show was the most entertaining part about CNN.
CynicalOptimist on July 16, 2009 at 5:35 PM
I’ll try again.
I’ll tell you how I really feel
These people in the “journalism” industry make me fcking sick to my stomach.
They are, seriously, some of the most self-absorbed people I’ve EVER had the total fcking displeasure of being around.
They carry this smug, “I’m the F*CKING MAN” look on their faces at all times, and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve literally died inside from desire to slap it off of them.
Journalism 101 was a root canal without novacaine. It was torture (you wanna talk torture?) sitting near the editor of Newsday, a putz from TIME, a schlep from Newsweek, and listen to guest lecturers from places like CBS.
All they did was pat themselves on the back about being the “watch dogs of government,” and finding some supposed “truth for the American people.”
I laughed in lecture when they went on about the “journalistic process,” and process of verification.
How in the f*ck do they expect me to believe that?
Dan Rather anyone?
Whatever — they are a bunch of self aggrandizing morons. They all need to see proctologists, precisely because their heads are so far up their own a$$es.
We were required to write a course evaluation letter to the professors at the end of the semester. I tore them a new orifice. Totally worth the subsequent C- I received.
blatantblue on July 16, 2009 at 5:36 PM
I used to be all into Newsbusters.org and stuff, keeping tabs on the lapdancers and democratic d*ck suckers in the media.
I gave up because I became numb to it. However, every once in a while it comes up and I get angry. These folks suck
blatantblue on July 16, 2009 at 5:37 PM
good riddance to this woman

blatantblue on July 16, 2009 at 5:40 PM
I agree with everything you said, BB.
txag92 on July 16, 2009 at 5:41 PM
CNN’s ratings are abysmal. Losing someone like this condescending nutjob will not reflect any degree of cmpetence on CNN. Just having someone of her caliber represent you proves a lack of competence in the whole network.
volsense on July 16, 2009 at 5:41 PM
Seriously, blatantblue, catharsis is a good thing. :)
I’m going to live vicariously through you, okay? Your unabashed anger is oddly refreshing.

Well… at least she’s still got that $400 dollars coming and some soon to be free health care…

No doubt she’ll land a gig as an Obama hack somewhere.

What’s a “cheap ham radio”? I wasn’t aware such an animal existed.

Have Helen Thomas mentor her and then they could see Thomas get Norvilled.

Wow Allah, Michelle, Ed, when did Hot Air start allowing f bombs and oral sex comments? The comments are really getting course.
Zorro on July 16, 2009 at 5:51 PM
Did she have her own show? Or was she just a field reporter?
OmahaConservative on July 16, 2009 at 5:52 PM
Plenty of local stations r looking for someone w/her experience, she was probably reworking her resume for months anyway. She’ll be reporting in some small liberal market in weeks earning in the 20s. Her net career is done though, and the T party was probably just the final nail in the coffin. Christianne IamPoor she isn’t.

She’ll be okay and fall into a job working for BO’s media. Since she has the maturity of a 12 year old, she will fit right in with Gibbs and company.
jbh45 on July 16, 2009 at 6:01 PM
Awww, poor “Nips” Roesgen. I can’t say I feel the least bit sorry for her.
Lay-Z on July 16, 2009 at 6:02 PM
I can remember when a WTCG television host fed a starving German Shepherd peanut butter on live TV…in the earliest days of the Turner television network…when it first ran 24/7 out of Atlanta.
And, frankly, they haven’t improved much beyond that.
coldwarrior on July 16, 2009 at 6:02 PM
She may wind up at MSNBC and may turn Chris Matthews and K.O. straight.
Naa but she will probably go to Msnbc

I am glad that Roesgen’ contract was not renewed, but just who was the Journalist that you were talking about?

Too bad you can’t express your thoughts in a civil manner.

For the record, I thought CNN should have fired Susan Roesgen on the spot. I have seen more objective reporting on local television stations in Dothan, Alabama.

My guess is MSNBC snatches her up.

She’ll probably end up on MSNBC as Kieth Oberman’s comical sidekick ……
Chimp 6 on July 16, 2009 at 7:00 PM
Silly little girl.
Zorro on July 16, 2009 at 7:04 PM
She needs to take that Kyra Phillips with her when she leaves. Ms. Phillips was copping an attitude about the TEA Parties when Snotty Susan handed it back to the studio. Snots!
redwhiteblue on July 16, 2009 at 7:05 PM
She’s going to be the Journalist Czar.

Real objective there honey. They teach you that at journalism school?
I know another journalism school graduate who has very high standards that you should look up to.

You may have a point about the “f bombs”.
However, every day it is becoming more and more difficult to discuss the words and actions of liberals (such as most media types) in relation to President Obama without referencing the virtual fellatio which occurs.

Truth and justice happen to have a way of working out. It may take time, but it works out.
Great to hear it.
Give her some time to reconsider her rank condescension to a tax paying, American father trying to do right by his family and this country.
ted c on July 16, 2009 at 7:30 PM
Perhaps she can find something useful, like those informative and delightful sideline chick reporters that are there to keep the NFL and the networks out of court for discrimination.
KInd of like those women working the stop & slow signs on road building crews.
Jeff from WI on July 16, 2009 at 7:33 PM
Perhaps she’ll get a job in the new White House News Network!
NickelAndDime on July 16, 2009 at 7:33 PM
I never really understood why the old guy went over and started saying “Sir” repeatedly to shut that guy up. He wasn’t the most articulate, but he was saying what he wanted to say and he was the guy on camera.
thebadoutlaw on July 16, 2009 at 7:35 PM
Roesgen would probably make a great debate moderator for 2012. What kind of awards has she won b/c of this episode?
thebadoutlaw on July 16, 2009 at 7:37 PM
This gal will be perfect for Acorn.
mobydutch on July 16, 2009 at 7:41 PM
This broad is garbage. Good riddance. Unfortunately there are thousands more like her in the MSM, they just try to hide it a little better.
echosyst on July 16, 2009 at 7:53 PM
Some station here in Los Angeles must have hired her because I’ve seen her here lately on local news. She’s not getting or doing any great assignments either…

Laura in Maryland on July 16, 2009 at 8:01 PM
Yes, no doubt a difficult problem, but as George Washington wrote about as a teenager, civility is what sets one side apart from the other. The leftist are heathens, conservatives should show more class.
Zorro on July 16, 2009 at 8:28 PM
Ha! Drunk or sober, calling him a sailor misses the mark.
In his case he’s closer to being coxwain, in Yachtshiting circles more commomly known as a dickhead.

Zorro, perhaps Lucianne.com would be a better place for you. Quite civil over there, you get rebuked for typing in ALL CAPS…it’s considered shouting.
luvstotango on July 16, 2009 at 8:46 PM
I think class is acknowledging that I don’t always know what’s happening in someone else’s life…and giving that person the benefit of the doubt…
ladyingray on July 16, 2009 at 8:48 PM
Tried that. Had no effect on the level of discourse (maybe civility is too complex for liberals?), and this way is more fun.
malclave on July 16, 2009 at 8:52 PM
Sorry about that reference to sailors. Just reflexively using a slang term. Did not mean to impugn the gallantry of our Navy.
J.J. Sefton on July 16, 2009 at 8:54 PM
Now that is funny. I actually logged Radio Plumrose back in the late 1960s.
Never got my ham radio ticket, as I refused to go along with the arcane Morse Code requirement. They finally abolished it a few years ago, but by that time I had to abandon the radio hobby altogether because copper thieves kept stealing my antennas.
Del Dolemonte on July 16, 2009 at 8:58 PM
Yeah, like personally she’s a b*tch.
