Update: CNN Susan Roesgen Report at the Chicago Tea Party

Wow!!  CNN will go to any length to hide the bias of its reporting and its reporters.  In this case, Ms. Susan Roesgen.  If you reference my earlier post CNN's Susan Roesgen Picking on the Tea Party you can see that CNN had no problem letting You Tube continue to carry the videos of their now most famously agitating and biased reporter.  That's because she was not called to task or challenged in those video posts.  Roesgen had the upper hand and CNN had the upper hand by controlling what was aired and what people were able to view.

Now it's CNN's turn to be in the crosshairs of public opinion.



However, once CNN caught wind of the immense backlash from an online blog report courtesy of Founding Bloggers CNN was able to get the video yanked.  The video link from You Tube now says, "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Cable News Network, Inc.."  You can see it when clicking on my earlier post, or by trying to load the video directly here.

Ironically, if you click on any of the other videos I posted in my prior post, CNN's Susan Roesgen Picking on the Tea Party,  not one of them have a copyright claim by CNN!  Those other videos were not posted by CNN on You Tube, but by other individuals.  Just like the Founding Bloggers video.

This is a blatant attempt by CNN trying to shut down criticism of them, their reporting techniques and their reporters.  Don't worry, though.  For those of you that can no longer access the video of the Tea Party goer standing up to CNN's Susan Roesgen, I have found another post on You Tube of it.
 



This version has roughly 6,300 views and coupled with the approximately 184,000 views the original video post had makes this whole exchange quite impressive.  It shows that CNN or any other network cannot stop the everyday person from having their voice heard.

Here is an interesting follow up article about Ms. Roesgen's report courtesy of TV NEWSER, Partied Out CNN Reporter Takes a Break.

Yeah, like I'm going to believe Ms. Roesgen had a "scheduled vacation."  Maybe she took my advice and headed to Cuba?
