Why does this reporter still work for CNN?

That would be Susan Roesgen. I can’t remember the last time I saw a reporter behave so unprofessionally … well, except for last week’s astounding use of the term “teabagging” by Keith Olbermann, Andrew Sullivan, a giggling Anderson Cooper, and more. Back to Susan: My Inbox is full of videos and stories sent to me by readers and videographers. So are the news outlets. Note: There’s a priceless quote at the end of the story you won’t want to miss. First, here’s a video that Paul Villarreal sent me, and you’ll all remember this woman who took Roesgen on:
Today on Glenn Beck, Kathy Barkulius was on to tell Glenn about her interaction with that CNN “reporter” named Susan Roesgen. Kathy is the one who confronted Susan after she tried to SAVAGE the fellow tea-party goer, who was holding his son, and basically tried to shut him up with DNC talking points. Kathy wasn’t going to stand for it, so after CNN’s cameras quit rolling, Kathy made her stand and gave Ms. Roesgen a piece of her mind! You can find the original video of the confrontation elsewhere on YouTube.
Here are more videos and excellent tidbits I’ve found on Roesgen. But my primary question remains: WHY is she still listed at CNN as a reporter?
Here’s a fun mash-up of Roesgen and Keith Olbermann:
Here’s “Susan Roesgen: A Disgrace to All Professional Journalists”:
Here’s “Shep Smith Responds to Diss from CNN’s Susan Roesgen!”:
The Washington Times has a great report, “Inside Blogotics“:
“Poor little Susan Roesgen had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day!” quipped self-described “Queer Conservative” Kevin.
In a famous clip that CNN has being trying to scrub from the Internet on copyright grounds, Ms. Roesgen asked a man holding his toddler why he was protesting, interrupted him with “what does that have to do with taxes?” and told him that Illinois will get billions from President Obama’s stimulus bill (the taxes will come from other states, obviously).
She signed off with, “I think you get the general tenor of this, uh, it’s anti-government, anti-CNN, since this is highly promoted by the rightwing conservative network Fox and since I can’t really hear much more, I think this is not really family viewing, toss it back to you, Kera.”
“Unreal,” muttered Allahpundit at Hot Air.
“The title of the clip is ‘CNN Reporter Roughed Up at Chicago Tea-Party,’ which, as youll see, is a transparent lie unless you consider the crowd yelling at her to stop cutting off the people shes interviewing as ‘rough.’ But that’s par for the course for the narrative being organized here: A nasty, violent, ignorant crowd, all doing the bidding of CNNs sinister competitor. Stay classy, Turnerites,” he said.
Ace of Spades asks, “Is she there as a representative of CNN or of the Obama Administration? And is there a meaningful distinction between the two?”
Nor, Ace pointed out, was this Ms. Roesgen’s first run-in in recent days with protesters whom she doesn’t get. “Earlier, she couldn’t believe that pious Catholics at Notre Dame would object to the nation’s top constitutional abortionist speaking at that Catholic school,” Ace wrote, referring to an exchange that ended with her saying: “Can you believe that, Wolf, they’re actually praying that God will change the heart and mind of President Obama to make him pro-life?”
