CNN Tea Party Protest Video
April 25th, 2009
Idiot protesters, and idiot reporter.
The first guy is another Joe The Plumber. He throws around words and labels where he doesn’t even know what they mean; nor why he thinks what he thinks. He just thinks whatever Rush Limbaugh tells him to think; a typical, retarded Ditto Head.
But in the interview with the second guy, the reporter showed herself to be as big a zealot for her narrow-minded view as any one else at that rally is for theirs. “Sir, do you know that the state of Lincoln gets 50 billion dollars out of this stimulus package”; what a logically fallacious, irrelevant, non-response to what the guy was saying (which she didn’t even let him get out of his mouth).
Her non sequitur of a pretend ‘I got’ch ya’ that he should not be upset with tax policy because one government is taxing you to give huge gobs of money to another government, is embarrassing.
Not to mention that “journalist” are supposed to present there reporting in a non-biased fashion; and she wasn’t even playing devils advocate, but clearly taking a personal position. It’s pathetic, and it’s disturbing that this is what we have as a media; and what passes for journalism these days.
Now take a look at this next video . It keeps going after the CNN segment ends.
Note, I did not see this video until after I typed my commentary above, yet it confirms what I said about the reporting, and the person taking the reporter to task even echoes some of my sentiments.
You can see here the fake left/right bull that the media purposely gens up for entertainment instead of doing news.
I finally realized (not paying attention to the reporters name previously) that this reporter is Susan Rosgen. I know her as the person who did the first television report of the Jena 6 that I’d ever seen on tv back in late August of 2007; and her reporting was so flawed and vacuous that I wrote her a point by point letter correcting her (I referenced the letter here)
Clearly this woman is a complete hack!

“I seen a sign that said Republicans suck too, your right the first guy was a loser. I felt sorry for the guy with the babe in his arms, that lady reported and CNN correspondent in the studio should be ashamed of themselves. This is why people are going to sites like yours Boswell because a person can’t get the news anymore without it being spun at an attempt to brainwash the masses.”
The “news”, especially on television, is mostly propaganda. The corporations that run these outlets just want to keep us spinning and fighting each other so that we don’t take a proper look at the super elite class and what they’re doing to us.
