Fox News correspondent Geraldo Rivera made a fool out of himself (again) by fawning shamelessly over Michael Jackson in an apparent bid to pay the pop star back for the 'exclusive interview' granted to Fox News and to secure a solid line of future story leads to Fox News. But not everyone was happy at Fox News about this. Bill O'Reilly invited Geraldo on his show and told him to his face that he had gone too far in portraying Jackson as an innocent victim.
The interview, which bore a distinct resemblance to a Jackson family infomercial, aired Saturday February 5 at 10 pm ET on the Fox News Channel's "At Large With Geraldo Rivera."

I thought Geraldo had plumbed the depths of journalistic prostitution with his Clinton coverage but he's gone way, way beyond that now.
In my book he was proved guilty when he paid his last victim's family over $23M.
I would be concerned about a "man" that announced to anyone that would listen worldwide, that he liked to sleep with little boys. He is his own worse enemy.
Thanks for the ping!
"I always thought Geraldo was gay...
Should include: "Not that that there's anything wrong with that..."
"I don't know if Jackson is a pervert or not, but these particular charges don't look like they're going to hold up."
What? You have GOT to be kidding.
The discussion became quite lively!
Geraldo doesn't decide ANYTHING for us cause we don't watch him and...even if we did...we would decide for ourselves...not like a lot of mind-numbing robots as Rush likes to say.
Come again?
"The Morphodite and the Mustache"
How many middle-age men would be still on the outside if they publicly announced they slept in the same bed with little boys? Regardless of proof, they'd be destroyed.
Geraldo thinks the boy's mother is a money grubbing con artist. Maybe she is. She has a history, you know.
You've got that right! Yet, he did worldwide and everyone is defending him. Go figure.
Hey, good old Jerry Rivers is just doing what he does best.
WRONG. Try again.
Yea, he's definately screwed up, but the question is did he molest kids, rather than just have no sence of reality and not understand how his comments would be taken.
Is he a perverted nut, or just a nut?
From the information I've read, and the few pieces of court transcripts I've bothered to read, the people accusing him are gold diggers with a history of scamming people in the past.
"I would be concerned about a "man" that announced to anyone that would listen worldwide, that he liked to sleep with little boys. He is his own worse enemy."
I'd be pretty concerned with a parent that not only let her kids spend time alone with a person like that, but actively encouraged them to get close to Jackson and call him daddy.
I don't dispute that Jackson is strange. However, it really looks like the family was looking to extort money out of Jackson or win it in a lawsuit from the start.
"What? You have GOT to be kidding."
Read some information about the accusor and his mother. They aren't exactly cridible witnesses. His mother appears to be a con artist with a history.
There's no real physical evidence of what they're accusing him of doing.
The kid once made false charges against his mother of abuse to the Department of Child Services.
Read up on the case a little bit.
If Jackson did molest boys, I hope they come forward and he gets sent to prison for it.
However, this particular claim doesn't seem credible.
I suspect that Jackson will win the case, and then go back to being shunned by most everyone because he acts like a freak.
I must have missed something!
So the family may have tried to extort money from him, so therefore he didn't molest this child or any other?
There was an article posted here last night by Charlite from Men's News Daily. It's titled, "Is Michael Jackson a Pedophile?" If I knew how to link, I would....I think you should take a look at the article, it involves a profile of a pedophile.
