Unbelievable. CNN is a joke. Back in the day, we called them "The Clinton News Network" because they were open cheerleaders for his administration.
 
Can't we just agree that all news networks are biased and hardly even report news anymore so we can just IGNORE THEM?

Thanks.

point of what? this video?

this reporter is not a reporter reporting the news. She's coming in and ARGUING with protesters. What kind of credible journalist pulls this kind of shit?
 
Show me one clip of anything like that from a reporter on Fox news, not Hannity or O'Reilly.

What does CNN say about this?
 
I didn't even watch the clip, BTW. :)


I just know that CNN leans left and FOX leans right.

Strange you want to leave those 2 out of it since they are almost the faces of FOX. But here is a couple (plenty more):

You do understand that Hannity and O'Reilly are not reporters, correct? They are advocates for a particular point of view, and are not part of the FOX news department in any way. The woman in the video is supposed to be a reporter, without an axe to grind, and yet there she is, grinding away . . .

Big difference.
 
You are the major tool of the party. :ghoti:

Thanks . . . I don't watch Fox enough to know their true roles. I have seen them both interview people while the network is saying fair and balanced at every commercial break, so it gives the impression they are conducting a "fair and balanced" interview.

That Griff Jenkins is a real piece of work . . . and I think he is a reporter . . . or same thing, he is an advocate for a particular point of view?

And I agree that the CNN reporter clearly had an agenda . . . I agree with hoojacks, both networks have an agenda.

I just watched that Griff Jenkins piece and other than asking over and over if they didn't believe in freedom it is nothing like the original video shown. Not even in the same league, hell not even in the same sport. It isn't anything like the CNN piece in the slightest.

You can agree that Hannity is a douche and not be a liberal ya know?

I will watch the second video later, but I remember having watched that hot brunette stick her foot in her mouth a few times on the air. I have better uses for her. :biglaugh:

I have a nine month old, and I still swear like a sailor. It's amazing how hard of a habit to break swearing is.

There's been a real blurring of the lines, to the detriment of the media. To use the Oregonian as an example, John Canzano is paid to present his opinion, Jason Quick is paid to report on the Blazers. When Quick starts to present his opinion in his articles (not his blogs), he's overstepping his bounds.

That woman was there to report on the protest. Instead, she became part of the story. You don't have to be a Columbia Journalism grad to know that's a serious violation of journalistic ethics and standards.
 
So this woman being employed by CNN disallows her from having an opinion? I didn't see anything biased in the part that actually aired. Seemed to me like she realized that she picked the wrong guy to interview and tried to move away from it as quickly as possible. And CNN is not responsible for what she says off air, so anything else she may have said is pointless to even bring up.

Are you joking? The woman was clearly taking up a position and arguing with the protester. That has NEVER been part of a reporter's job. Reporters are supposed to be "neutral" and take no side in any debate they are covering. This is journalism 101, and everyone knows it.
 
Personally, I get all this bitching by the right. It's wierd to see the shoe is on the other foot, but the left has complained about Bush and everything he has done for years.


It only seems fair . . . or at least consistent . . . that Obama gets scrutinized for every move he makes. As long as I am still in favor of Obama, it is easy for me to sit here and read all the complaints about Obama and actually get a sense of pleasure that maybe the right will know how the left has been feeling for the past 4-8 years.

Of course if I start to dislike Obama, I will once again be in that group disgruntled with government and it won't be quite as amusing to me . . .

I guess you're right to an extent. I watched it again, and she does do that. I thought she had asked him a question and instead of answering it, he went on a rant. But upon second viewing, all she said was "why are you here today?"

Not only that, you could clearly see how disgusted she was by the whole protest. It was written all over her tone of voice and her body language. She was trying to give off clues to anyone who was watching that these people were ignorant rednecks.

We need more citizens with this type of attitude. The attitude that you would rather see the opposing party angry and "know how the left has been feeling", than have our President do what is best for the country. Bravo.

Uh, see the above posts.

Two days after Susan Roesgen's much talked-about Chicago Tea Party live shots, we are learning more about what happened off-camera.

Sources close to the situation tell TVNewser as Roesgen was reporting her 2pmET live shot for CNN, she heard shouts from the crowd including "Damn CNN" and "Shut up, bitch."

As we now know, Roesgen wrapped up the live shot, saying "I think you get the general tenor of this," that it was "not really family viewing" from an "Anti-CNN" crowd.

Our source says Roesgen received an avalanche of email messages, some supportive, and some "vitriolic with crude insults."

CNN denies reports that Roesgen's email was shut down. A spokesperson tells TVNewser many people were emailing what they believed to be Roesgen's CNN account, but it was actually a non-existent inbox. Her email account was and continues to be active.

So far Roesgen is not talking publicly about the situation. CNN tells us she's now on a previously-planned vacation.
