The non-newshour anchors, at least the honest ones, admit to their bias, and are entitled to their biased opinions. But reporters are to “report”, they have their own opinions, but are not supposed to air them when they are reporting. They can distort the news by reporting or not reporting them, by interviewing interviewees who have the reporter’s opinions, but they cannot display their own bias while reporting. It’s hypocritical, isn’t it? But we are a country of hypocrites, anyway. We elect politicians whom we know will not keep their promises. We blame “predatory” lenders when we cannot repay a loan that we knew we were not qualified for. We call paying politicians “contributions”, and call pocketing taxpayers’ money earmarks. You know what, in more honest countries, such as China, those are called “briberies”, “paybacks”, and “backdoor deals”.

Ms. Roesgen’s problem was she forgot the hypocrite’s “unbiased” mask.

“btw, James, did CNN ever reply to your letter?”

No, they didn’t. But they probably had to deal with a great many letters concerning her behavior, and I’m not famous enough to warrant special attention.

“It’s not quite correct to compare Roesgen to Aguilar, because Aguilar was on the staff of a Fox affiliate, KDFW, not Fox National. Fox National had no control over Aguilar.”

Very good point! Ed Driscoll pretty much says the same thing, but Gregory beat him to the punch.

Now if it was 2006, she would have been interviewing people engaging in that ultimate form of patriotism, criticizing and mocking the President and his policies.

Exactly so. Firing Roesgen is a cover. She’s less expendable than Anderson “Teabaggers” Cooper.

Campbell Brown had no follow up question, no comment, nothing to Areu’s outrageous statement: that The Wise Lie-tina (Sotomayor) really meant to say that any Latina woman would have better judgment than any white man.

No follow up question, just let her ( and ANY liberal) slide. But never a Conservative.

New Moniker: MSM anchors/reporters are No FUQ’s —No Follow Up Questions.

Fox’s main problem is not that they are so biased they distort the facts. Their problem is that they are in love with tabloid journalism, sleaze and sensationalism.

My own bet is that SR will be more likely to wind up working for The One than going back to media. But even more likely is that she ends up nowhere. She’s made a name for herself, but a) a most odious one and b) doesn’t have the power to look her adversaries in the face and snarl Whaddaya gonna do about it, hey? What does she bring to any organization? Fanatical loyalty to The One? Check. Viewing a belt as the upper boundary of any political/press argument? Check. Cannot pass a rabies nor an IQ test? Check. Good virtues for any One supporter to have. Trouble is, you can order such supporters from Amazon for a measly sum, quantity discounts available, that don’t have to carry all the baggage SR does. These supporters aren’t encumbered, and can swing the journalist’s microphone, which looks much like a cop’s nightstick and has an even more devastating effect.

Sincerely yours,
Gregory Koster

If Sue still wants CNN to reinstate her, her hiring of an affirmative action shyster to represent her will get her back on the CNN payroll toot sweet.
