CNN abandons even pretense of objectivity

IMPORTANT UPDATE - 8:23 PM Eastern: CNN has just shut down Susan Roesgen’s email. Instead please email CNN Executive Vice President Ken Jautz at: ken.jautz@cnn.com and CNN Chairman & CEO, Phil Kent at: phil.kent@turner.com

---

By now you’ve probably heard of the shameful actions by Susan Roesgen, the CNN reporter who harrassed attendees at yesterday’s Chicago Tea Party. Instead of reporting on the Tea Party, Roesgen picked people out of the crowd to confront and argue with, before signing off her report by labeling the tea party movement as “anti-CNN” and “not family viewing.”

Many of you have wondered what you can do to register your outrage, and we here at the Our Country Deserves Better Committee are happy to help.

We originally provided Susan Roesgen’s email but CNN shut that down. We suggest now sending your emails first to CNN Executive Vice President Ken Jautz at: ken.jautz@cnn.com

Additionally, please let Susan’s boss know how unacceptable it is for a journalist to become a left-wing activist in trying to defame and denounce a legitimate and honest political movement by Americans who are being robbed blind by our government and spent into a debt from which will be unimaginably difficult to ever pay off.

So please also write to Philip Kent, the Chairman & CEO of CNN: phil.kent@turner.com

Please note at an anti-Bush rally following Hurricane Katrina, Roesgen gleefully reported that a costumed protestor mocking Bush as Hitler was a “Bush look alike” and yet yesterday sought to engage in a verbal sparring match with a protestor who declared Obama’s recent actions have been fascist – in ways similar to Hitler.

You don’t have to agree with that protestor’s view to see that Susan Roesgen’s bias is so blatant it makes a mockery of CNN’s motto: “The Most Trusted Name in News.”

Sorry that the links and the video did not come through. It will take someone much more experienced to place them here.

The left wing media is out of control with their vulgar commentary about ANYTHING OR ANYONE that opposes any policy taken by the current administration. They have completely shut down with any kind of accurate journalism. Except for a few unbiased sources, the American Media is dead. I believe their ratings are so low, and so many newspapers on the edge of filing bankrupcy, that they are absolutely DESPERATE, and will DO ANYTHING for ratings, even perpetuating a circus like atmosphere. Really really sad. They are spinning into self destruction at an accelerated pace, and the only way out of it that I see, is to bring back fair and balanced reporting, and to report everything that is important to the American people, and putting aside their blantantly biased agenda.

Interestingly, this same reporter apparently did not find it “offensive” when Bush was depicted with satanic horns and a Hitler-style mustache:
