More Unprofessional Behavior: CNN's Dana Loesch Bullies Reporter at CPAC

So I already wrote about how Loesch went out with a Guy Fawkes mask to yell at the Occupy crowds outside of CPAC, despite the fact that many other CPAC attendees were engaging in calm discussions with the crowd and were easily able to travel freely in and out of the hotel.

It turns out Loesch also chased down and yelled at other Occupiers the next day:


And, even worse, Loesch decided to bully a reporter for having the audacity of asking Andrew Breitbart questions about his pledge to boycott CPAC (which he quickly abandoned when offered a speaking slot). Loesch told the reporter that she wasn't "acting like a lady" because she asked Breitbart questions:

Just to point out the obvious, there's a big difference between getting into an argument with a reporter when speaking privately to them, versus loudly lecturing them while surrounded by hundreds of supporters.

Politico wrote an interesting article pointing out that CNN has not been booking Loesch since her nasty comments about urinating on corpses. However, she is still listed as a contributor. Is this really how CNN wants their brand defined? According to the guests on Howard Kurtz's Reliable Sources, it sure doesn't seem that way.
