CNN Tea Party Push-Back: Tea Parties ?anti-CNN?

By Phil

SHOCK! CNN taking the tea parties personally (via MediaBistro; @PoliticalSurf):

CNN correspondent Susan Roesgen could barely get through her live shot at the Chicago tea party this afternoon. Over shouts of, “You’re not a reporter,” Roesgen quickly wrapped up an interview with an attendee, then said, “I think you get the general tenor of this. It’s anti-government, anti-CNN since this is highly promoted by the right-wing conservative network Fox.”

FoxNews responded:

A Fox News spokesperson responds to TVNewser, “Judging by their lack of ratings, everyone seems to be anti-CNN.”

Also, Shepherd Smith and Neil Cavuto briefly mention:

While this has not been the only reporting done by CNN, this is yet further evidence that the mainstream media (of which CNN appears to be the top source) is, quite obviously, exceptionally elitist and couldn’t care less about what concerned citizens without a title have to say about reality in America.

Seriously — where do they get these reporters? That wasn’t a report; that was a journalistic hit job.
