What you DIDN'T see on CNN : UPDATE

I've turn off the TV so I get all my news online. I had no idea what the tax protest coverage was like that.

That CNN woman was... well in the interest of keeping this post family friendly lets not say.

Kudos to that lady who took her to task afterwards, the guy who interceded halfway through the interview to keep the reporter from badgering the man with the child, and, of course, whoever who filmed that.

Post this thing far and wide. Keep 'em honest.

got it RIGHT!

But they are not listening.

The reporter tried to goad the woman into admitting she was some right-wing fringe fanatic who spends all of her time on right-wing fringe internet sites. BUT in fact this woman represents mainstream America...or at least those in America who care enough to listen and speak up.

So glad she said it wasn't a Republican/Democrat/Bush/Obama specific issue. It's the whole lot of them. They're all reading from the same script.

You go girl!

The CNN reporter's attitude and motives is/are frightening.

For the exact same treatment.

This is getting old.

knocked the guy with the baby off his balance pretty easily but then ran into a buzz saw with that woman who just took her to school. Talked to her like a child.

"It's just one big club... and WE ain't in it!"

provocateur. I wish I were there to smack this stupid hat off his head. As for the reporteress from CNN... oh she just didn't know :(

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!

They are attempting to frighten the sheepish into fearing us, and shunning us.

Too much dissent.

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. "

She pathetically failed at trying to categorize, group, and create associations. Freedom is popular and brings us together, their divide and conquer tactics are getting old.

She heard about the Tea Party by being a Ron Paul supporter.

Then try to discredit her.

I would have personally had my many Ron Paul buttons staring her in the face.

That CNN wench is too stupid to know right from wrong. But she was most likely educated in a government run school.

the screen and attacking that b*tch! "You don't have to be so antagonistic"? Way to go "suburban self-employed" lady, for speaking up so clearly and schooling that antagonizing wench!
(i wouldn't have really attacked her, but BOY, that made my blood boil)

~
I also love it when at the very end the woman accentuates her point by pointing to that divinely inspired sign,

Republicans SUCK, Too!
End The Fed

GOLD!

Then the reporter says "What does this mean?" and the young girl says, "It means that you're trying to tell them that we're (points to self) bad people!"

Can anyone catch the exact wording?

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:

http://www.pjtv.com/video/Afterburner_/The_Cost_of_Media_Bia...

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.

it's time we start snubbing the mainstream media.

when she comes around with a camera, ron paulers should say "go away, fringe loony!"

They haven't yet commented on it on their site.

we could try to be more effective in explaining our cause. Get straight to the point.

We may get really frustrated and annoyed with these media people who consistently try to marginalize the cause, but anger and frustration need to be controlled, otherwise one would simply be an example of an angry extremist. That is not the face of liberty, nor the way the message of freedom influences you.

Look at the extra anger generated, and no advance. The only thing the reporter got right was that it isn't helpful to antagonize, if the goal you want to achieve is to get them to understand and stop them from antagonizing us.

And that reporter just wants to run over the conversation. But I think it is better to be restrained but firm and try to get the message across. Reporters seem to try harder to interrupt when you give them the chance, and you're not clear.

Finally, I would have been overjoyed to see a reporter trying to interview people. As ridiculous as it may seem (especially if one has been fired), I think we have to make it sound like "family viewing" or else people aren't going to listen. People appeal to emotion, and we got to take advantage of that.

at him because he thinks lincoln was for freedom and liberty, and her cause she is a twit. If the two of them stopped fussing and just listen to each other they would realize that they are both the same, he is a big government lincoln worshiper and she is a big government obama worshiper. And they both don't have a clue.

Change from a fascist republican to a fascist democrat is not change.

That guy is rightly upset that his two-year old son is in debt for the next 20 years because of this looting of the treasury, and then he has some idiot CNN reporter in his face because he dared to oppose the establishment. It is an insane world we are living in people. Honestly, death would be too good for these traitors.

CNN only has time for sound bites and yes they do try to slant the news to make it look like its the Dems vs. Reps..

The reporter asked the lady,"what do you say if I say the politicians were elected?".

I would say our elected officials voted for the socialist bail-out against the wishes of their constituents or in other words against the consent of the governed. But, I have seen reporters in the MSM saying the people who by the thousands E-mailed their congressman and asked them to vote against the bail-outs suddenly had a change of heart and now about 70% of Americans favor the bail-outs. To tell this to the reporter would have taken too long for a sound bite and it's not what they want the people to hear. If the people hear over and over again on the news that people like the bail-outs eventually they will learn to like it too and go back to sleep. We can't have Americans getting all upset now. So, just tell us everything is going to be all right and everybdy loves the bail-outs.

The federal government is just a great scam to transfer wealth from the majority to themselves and their cronies, like the bankers and Wall Street. Lots of people don't necessarily understand how this works, but they know this take over of most aspects of life by government is not good.

People are angry, and it is only going to get worse. Unemployment is double what the government reports. We are entering an economic dark age which will finally motivate people to act to throw off the burden of carrying government and special interests on their backs.

Watch these tea parties. If the next one on July 4th is larger and angrier, (in the hot weather), the potential for disruption is even greater.

I think all revolutions move through stages. The most peaceful part of the Revolution started with Dr. Paul's run for the Republican nomination. That didn't work, but he has moved to national prominence. We are in the peaceful protest stage now. Peaceful protests can easily give way to violence and counter violence, but not open revolution. Repression increases (look at the homeland security report warning about the "white-wing") as government becomes more fearful of the citizenry. What seems like a meaningless gesture on the part of states to pass resolutions to assert the 10th amendment, has already led the Texas governor to use the word, "succession". What starts small can become very large.

I think we are approaching 1776, give or take several years. I don't know if I should feel excited or depressed. I just hope the federal government does what the Soviet government did and that is just liquidate itself peacefully, but I fear that we more likely will end in a violent Civil War. The tea parties are a marker on the road toward that end.

Looks like many presumed CNN practiced objectivity, well let's hope that fallacy has been laid to rest now.

The MSM has an agenda and if by chance they had a rogue reporter who woke up one day and decided to have a moment of conscience and report the truth, they'd be looking for work the next day.

That woman was amazing!
She spoke intelligently, made sense, and spoke with conviction without personally attacking the reporter. Good for her. If every American were like her, we'd be living in a very different country.

"Get to the choppa!"
