Considerate liberals on The Huffington Post are outraged that Geraldo Rivera (and Fox News) broadcast long shots of the body of supermodel Ruslana Korshunova shortly after the nine-story fall to her death. Is Korshunova's death news? Of course — but it doesn't need to be so graphically illustrated. A sustained shot of Korshunova's face, her face pale in death, clearly visible in profile with what appears to be blood at the side of her mouth — that adds nothing to the story other than a horrific, shocking image to gawk at. HuffPo didn't embed the offending Geraldo video segment, but...

This Weekend: Geraldo and Team NEW TIME: Sat., June 28 and Sun., June 29 at 10 p.m. ET • Saturday: Geraldo 'At Large' Special Presentation: 'Iraq: Where Good News is No News'.

ON RIGHT NOW! "Including references to "Whitey". There has been a race for Clinton operatives to aquire this tape, but I believe this tape is already in the hands of a major network." This JUST aired minutes ago on "Geraldo"... Geraldo prefaced by saying that Roger Stone was the same person who first exposed Spitzer's relationship with hookers.

NEW YORK (December 12, 2001 6:15 a.m. EST) - From his position near Tora Bora, Afghanistan, Fox News Channel correspondent Geraldo Rivera seemed more agitated by a question about carrying a gun than by the mortar rounds that just exploded nearby. "I refuse to address that issue," said Rivera, speaking into a satellite phone. "It's been blown way out of proportion. It makes me sound like a tabloid talk show host goes to war. It's so unfair." Yet Rivera's decision to bring a gun into a war zone where eight journalists have been killed has raised questions about whether ...

We’ve reached the point of diminishing returns with this tool, have we not? These segments are paint-by-numbers by now: Nativists, talk radio, “people who look like me,” climate of fear, those poor folk who haven’t done anything wrong except violate U.S. immigration law repeatedly, etc etc. I’m giving you this just because it’s always noteworthy when Spitty expresses his disgust towards a border enforcer in physical terms. Dobbs gets off easy, with nothing but the foregone handshake. Others … aren’t so lucky. Savor the irony at the very end as Hasselbeck quotes him worrying about people wanting to assault him....

Geraldo Rivera and Juan Hernandez, two of the most flagrant supporters of illegal immigration and amnesty in the media, have both announced their support for McCain. The National Council of La Raza (NCLR) also known as the Council of the (Hispanic) Race has announced their positive feelings for McCain while labeling any group or personality opposed to amnesty as an ally of the KKK. Even Ruben Navarrette, a CNN columnist who constantly rants in support of illegal immigration, while slinging mud at anyone who stands up for immigration enforcement, loves John McCain. Every illegal immigration supporter is signalling they want...

This morning on Fox and Friends, Geraldo Rivera said the the "Decency" wing of the Republican Party endorsed McCain. He also went on to say that he had a job for Mitt Romney. He said Mitt would make a good "Baseball Commissioner." He went on to say because he never took a stand on the steroid use this would qualify him for that job. This is a slap in the face to Mitt and the conservative movement.

For those who remember when Geraldo Rivera did actual investigative journalism, his excellent work would often get marred by his shameless self-promotion. On more than one occasion, he would interject in his reports that his life was actually in danger while investigating mostly mundane controversies. Hillary Clinton seems to have discovered her inner Geraldo in claiming that she handled all of the dangerous diplomatic missions in the Clinton administration: Ever since Barack Obama suggested Hillary Clinton's eight years as first lady were a glorified tea party a few days back, she's looked for an opening to strike back. On Saturday...

Who do you think is right? From 11:30 pm lastnight the media has been reporting the capture of Tora Bora while Geraldo has been stating that the fighters in the area clame to have just started doing work on figureing out what area to target. He has been wrong in the past but considering that he is on the frontlines while the rest of the media is reporting at their desks in NYC and D.C. who are we to believe?

One cardinal rule of journalism warns that reporters themselves must not become the focus of the story. Apparently nobody told Fox News Channel's new star Geraldo Rivera, who has lately turned the hottest cable news network's Afghan battlefield coverage into something resembling "Geraldo Goes to War." Suddenly, whatever U.S. troops may be doing at any given moment seems secondary to Mr. Rivera's latest adventure, with one report after another documenting his predicament du jour. Just days after his arrival Rivera set tongues wagging with his boast that he's packing a pistol for self defense - the only memorable item ...

More than a week after Geraldo Rivera said he'd spit on Michelle Malkin if he ever saw her, the controversial Fox News anchor issued an apology on last night's "O'Reilly Factor.""I just, you're so filled with emotion," Rivera said referring to the incident. "Someone calls you a liar and a fool, you want to strike back at them. It was an unguarded moment.""I totally apologize, that's not me, I don't spit. I'm not a spitter," he said.Transcript and video below the fold. Hat tip: Allahpundit. Here's the transcript: BILL O'REILLY: Now, Michelle Malkin and you got into a little bit...

Saturday night, Geraldo had his hands full as anarchists and 9/11 truthers attempted to disrupt the airing of Geraldo at Large

A group of 9/11 conspiracy theorist launched a live TV onslaught during Geraldo Rivera's Saturday night program.

Did anyone happen to see the Live Shots of Geraldo this evening? There were enough 911 Truthers positioning signs onto screen very strategically! Geraldo lost his cool a few times, and, his outdoor guests were distracted, too. There must be a massive demonstration given the anniversary Tuesday. Is there a lot of security down there... anybody got any good NYC Police Scanner Links ???

The Boston Globe has a fawning Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous-ish profile of Fox News Channel’s Geraldo Rivera. In between musing about his favorite pair of soft Uggs (”I’ve worn these in Tora Bora and Somalia,” he says, admiring the suede slip-ons with the sheepskin lining. “They’re so comfortable. I love them.”), his “36-foot Hinckley powerboat,” and his massive estates (including “Seagate, the spectacular, 10-bedroom estate he bought several years ago with his fourth wife” and another “Kennedy-esque compound” with his current wife), he spews this: Rivera, who as a fledgling lawyer in the ’70s counseled the Puerto Rican...

Geraldo now on Laura's show. Elvira might come up?

Well, we wouldn’t want to make Geraldo Rivera cry. But the fact is, he didn’t really address the situation. He once again smeared Michelle by bringing up militias, the KKK and neo-Nazis, to whom Michelle has no links and has never had any links (to whom Geraldo has attempted to link Michelle before), rather than just answer the question of whether deportable criminal aliens ought to be deported. And he brought up In Defense of Internment, mischaracterized it as “extolling” Roosevelt’s internment, rather than answer the question at hand. That’s called changing the subject. And he said he “cringes” nearly...

Anyone see Gearldo spewing this morning against Michelle Malkin and the "War on Immigration"? He almost had a fit live over what he sees as her hate speech. Essentially said ANYONE with this kind of viewpoint is pushing the agenda of Neo-Nazis and the KKK. What utter crap. I don't ever watch or listen to him - hate when he jumps into my field of view.

Date: Sun, 17 Jun 2007 Subject: comments on: population transfer and "American against American" From: Yours truly To: Michelle Malkin Dear Ms. Malkin, I watched your ‘debate’ with G. Rivera Thursday evening (June 14, 2007) on the O’Reilley Factor. You were very good about staying on message. However, you missed two killer openings GR gave you. When he was really getting into his diatribe he said, “… This is about the huge Hispanic presence amongst the illegal aliens and within that community the huge Mexican presence. It is about the exceptionalism of the Mexican presence here. And what she is...

Geraldo Rivera: "Suddenly, because wedge issues like gay marriage and abortion lost steam with the Extreme Right they have now seized on this (border security) as a way to appeal to energize the base." Video at link
