What you DIDN'T see on CNN : UPDATE

The news we get these days is bought and paid for by sponsors. I think the news outlets are more in the business of doing what their sponsors want to ensure that the sponsors sell their products. Of course, the news outlets want their own ratings to go up as well. If we want true and fair reporting, we have to do it ourselves. And I think it is a particular challenge to present any news without bias.

I also believe that there was a very real, concerted effort to distort the message of the Tea Parties from a number of different news sources. It is as though the media cannot imagine that American citizens might genuinely be fed up with the shenaigans of their government and that those same people come from across the political spectrum. They are missing the real story and what a great story it is!

UPDATE: Woman in Video confronting the CNN Reporter has posted a response on why she did it:

"I am the woman scolding the reporter in the video for her ridiculous confrontation with the protesters, and her biased reporting. Something that all of us conservatives must remember is that the left-wing media will do whatever it takes to marginalize us, degrade us, and disenfranchise us. Although I didn't know that a blogger was videotaping the whole thing, I am glad that he did. I'm also glad that this video has gained so much exposure on Fox and the internet.

All of us conservatives must continue to educate ourselves on the media lies and distortions, and we MUST stay informed on what the government is doing to us. When our liberal friends and relatives accuse us once again that we didn't complain when Bush was overspending and piling up debt, we must answer them. I routinely remind liberals that the Obama administration isn't just doing what Bush did, he's quadrupling what Bush did! I didn't agree with the debt we were piling up during the Bush years, but we were recovering from 9/11 and we were fighting two wars. Obama's spending is for entitlements, socialization of our country and economy, and he's falsely using the financial crisis to fundamentally change our country.

The mainstream media is helping Obama with this mission. Their corruption is astounding. That CNN reporter zeroed in on one guy who was holding up an offensive sign depicting Obama as Hitler, and she chose to interview him first. I personally believe that man was an ACORN plant, and it wouldn't surprise me if CNN knew that. My beef with her after she got done interviewing him and the gentleman with the baby, was that she was distorting what the majority of us were doing. She had an agenda that had to be confronted. She also showed extreme disrespect for the man with the baby, who was an honest man trying to explain his point of view. And to top it off, she accused me, and others, of being sent to the rally by some organized group and FOX News....as if she couldn't believe that we were just Americans expressing our freedom of speech and disgust with government overspending.

On top of this, Anderson Cooper, Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow spent a week prior to the protests denigrating us by comparing us to a sexual act that they probably invented! So much for Obama's promise of hope, change, and bringing the country together. There's more division, hatred, and vitriol now than there ever was during the Bush years. And that division was a hard act to follow. This is what Obama has wrought with the help of the media.

Lastly, that CNN reporter represented something really vulgar and disgusting about the mainstream media in today's world. They are supposed to be the voice of the people...the watchdogs....the check on the government's over-reaching. They are not supposed to be the shill for the government they want. And that is what they have become. Cheap, vulgar shills. "

Tell CNN Bosses Bias Is Bad for Business

By now you've probably seen the Youtube video of CNN's Susan Roesgen, a reporter who harrassed and goaded attendees at Thursday's Chicago Tea Party. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMxKMr2wnhk

Your outrage has caused CNN to shut down Roesgen's email inbox.

We suggest you now send your emails to CNN Executive Vice President Ken Jautz : ken.jautz@cnn.com and Philip Kent, the Chairman and CEO of CNN: phil.kent@turner.com

Let Susan's boss know you're not going to let off the hook a left-wing activist with a mic who was denouncing a legitimate and honest political movement by hard working Americans. Remind the CNN honchos that there were close to one million attendees at the tea parties.

"The most trusted name in news"? Hardly.

I know that woman wasn't expecting to get her agenda shoved back up the orifice it came out of.

Bill Whittle did a very fine job of shredding her here:

The last time a reporter got caught with their bias hanging out like this was when Dan Rather got caught trying to toss the election to Kerry with a handful of incompetent forgeries.
