Being an ass has consequences.
“Breaking: TVNewser has learned CNN correspondent Susan Roesgen’s contract will not be renewed and she will be leaving the network.
Roesgen, you’ll recall, was criticized for her coverage at the tax day tea parties in April, when she said the event she was covering in Chicago was, “anti-CNN since this is highly promoted by the right-wing, conservative network Fox.”
Roesgen took a break for a few weeks after that reporting and returned to the air in May covering the Drew Peterson arrest. Most recently, she covered Michael Jackson’s …

Unbelievable, but it is C-BS after all. Via Gateway Pundit:
“THIS IS WAY-WAY OVER THE TOP—-

The disgrace at Walter Reed, true enough, was first mentioned in a blog, but the full scope …

I haven’t blogged about the – now false – “Badhdad Diarist” simply because others such as The Weekly Standard were on it since the get go. Then I read fellow Heading Right blogger, Rick Moran’s post which got a lot of airing out yesterday – especially by Ace.
Now it appears that in fact PFC Thomas Beauchamp’s “stories” were found by the Army to be false.
