Susan Roesgen: Poster Girl for Unethical Journalism

Posted on July 19th, 2010 by admin in journalist ethics | 2 Comments »

Susan Roesgen is a “reporter” for CNN. With all due respect that “R” word has to be in quotes. She is emblematic of how so many in the mainstream media have strayed far away from any semblance of ethical & professional journalism. The majority of the Americans who took the time and made the effort to peacefully protest their displeasure at the massive amount of debt their government is racking up are not “extreme right-wing nutbars” like Roesgen and her colleagues would have you believe. Yet she could not hold back her personal disdain for all of them, including the man she started to “interview” but then rudely interrupted when what he was saying didn’t fall into line with her own political views. What kind of REAL journalist would do that?

The United States of America was founded by citizens just like you see here in Chicago, who were angry at an unaccountable, uncaring government that had grown deaf to their very legitimate concerns. Is history repeating itself? Make no mistake, these people are angry at both political parties and the politicians within. This is not so much a protest at Barack Obama, as it is against the irresponsibility of government as a whole.

As a thought experiment, imagine Susan Roesgen transported back to 1776, shoving her microphone into the faces of the citizens of the original colones and asking them why they were revolting. Then, when not getting the answer she seeketh, pulling away and screaming, “What dost though protest against?! The King of England hath given you so much!”
