Susan Roesgen is an Emmy award winning American reporter based in Chicago. She has worked as a general assignment correspondent for CNN since 2005. Before than, she was a prime time anchor at five TV stations, including WABC-TV, New York, and at the National Geographic Channel.
Roesgen's reporting has taken her from an Army barracks in Haiti, to the Sea of Galilee, and even to the pyramids of Egypt. She is the recipient of an Emmy award for her documentary on the theft of artifacts from New Orleans historic cemeteries, and a Louisiana Associated Press Award for her reporting in Israel. She graduated with honors from Montana State University and majored in English Literature. [1]
CNN
Hurricane Katrina
A New Orleans-based journalist during Hurricane Katrina, she was the first reporter hired by CNN for the CNN Gulf Coast bureau in 2005. She moved to CNN's Chicago bureau in September, 2007.
2009 Tea Party Interviews
On April 15, 2009, Roesgen interviewed a number of people at a 2009 Tea Party protest in Chicago, including one protester calling US President Barack Obama a fascist and carrying sign depicting him as Adolf Hitler, and another protester that praised Lincoln.[2] When the latter was asked, "Sir, what does this have to do with your taxes? Do you realize that you're eligible for a $400 credit?"[3], the man responded that "Lincoln believed that people had the right to share in the fruits of their own labor and that government should not take it. And we have clearly gotten to that point."[4] Roesgen then asked, "Right, but did you know that the state of Lincoln gets $50 billion out of this stimulus? That's $50 billion for this state, sir."[3] Speaking over the noisy crowd, she concluded the interview with, "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. And since I can't really hear much more, and since I think this is not really family viewing, I'll toss it back to you, Kyra."[5][6][7]
The interview drew criticism from some in the media, including The Augusta Chronicle[8], Mona Charen of the National Review[9], and Boston Herald columnist Michael Graham.[10] Others, like George Washington University professor of media, Frank Sesno, defended Roesgen for not letting statements go unchallenged.[11]
