Tax Protest in Chicago, and CNN


I was at this protest in Chicago, when I heard a group of people shouting "CNN, go home!"


I didn't know what it was about. In truth, I thought it was a really bad move on their part. Its just bad PR to tell a media agency to 'go home'.
Then I saw the video on this page.

The reporter was unprofessional, and lost her shit. I don't know Susan Roesgen. I want to give her the benifit of the doubt. But when I saw this video, I understood why my fellow protesters were yelling for CNN to go home. Particularly when she started telling the protester that he should be happy because Obama was providing him with tax breaks. She didn't get what the protest was about.... at all.
Bad reporting. Fail.
