Geraldo Rivera sees a double standard at work in ABC News’ decision to stand by George Stephanopoulos after the network’s chief anchor apologized for failing to publicly disclose $75,000 in donations to the Clinton Foundation over the last three years. In a Facebook post Friday morning, Rivera claimed he was fired by ABC News in 1985 for making a $200 political donation and wondered why Stephanopoulos isn’t getting the same treatment.
“In 1985, after fifteen great years, I was fired by ABC News,” Rivera wrote. “The official reason for my firing was a non-disclosed $200 donation to a family friend running in a non-partisan mayoral campaign in New Bedford Massachusetts.”
He went on to say that the “real reason” he was fired was a dispute with network head Roone Arldege over a spiked 20/20 story involving Marilyn Monroe and the Kennedys.
“The point is ABC treated my undisclosed $200 donation harshly because the network wanted me out for that unrelated reason,” Rivera continued. “Now ABC is bending over backward to minimize and forgive George Stephanopoulos’ $75,000 donation to the Clinton Foundation because he is central to the network’s recent success.”

Amazing, something Gerald is saying that I can agree with.
I didn’t know ABC was still on the air. Seriously.
Because you’re a dweeb Geraldo ....
Why not indeed!
“In a Facebook post Friday morning, Rivera claimed he was fired by ABC News in 1985 for making a $200 political donation and wondered why Stephanopoulos isn’t getting the same treatment.”
Didn’t PMSNBC suspend Schultz for taking money from unions that he was representing? But they didn’t suspend Sharpton.
Stephie will leave for the Clinton campaign once they are 100% sure she is bulletproof.
Video Montage:
Stephi defends Hillary, bashes “Clinton Cash” book, while never disclosing his own Clinton “donations”.

/src on/Jerry you made a political donation. Georgie gave to a charitable foundation that is doing remarkable non-political work around the world./src off/
Too biased for ABC? I’m sure Fox will find a spot for Steph as they angle for strange new respect.
LOL. "Remarkable" was key.
Guess you haven’t kissed enough a$$ in your career Jerry.
Anytime heraldo is f $#@! I am happy.
Welcome to our world.
Well Jerry that was then and this is now, like you ABC has become much more progressive in their liberal communist ideology.
Hey Jerry (Channeling George Carlin) - It’s a big club and you ain’t in it.
That was ABC’s excuse. No doubt they were embarrassed having Gerry on staff. FOX should dump his butt too.
Gee, just think if Gerbrawldo wasn’t fired from ABC back then, TV might have been so much the lesser without his talk show that featured Satanism and the big fight with the skinheads and neo Nazis.

Stephi was laundering money

‘Cause you’re not cool, and your wife’s not cool either. Too bad, Jerry.
