That paper must be having some serious internal problems.
The Slimes should issue a clarification - but I'll forgive even THEM for assuming that Geraldo was showboating. He DOES tend to "froth up" at times when on location.
Is there anyone else out there that questions the press in NO as to why THEY didn't load up a bunch of Americans and evacuate them or at least fill up their vehicle with water and distribute it?
Almost impossible to take sides in a Geraldo/ NYT dispute.
Horrendo Revolver doesn't deserve a dime.
Geraldo has his pluses and minuses, but I hope he wins this because I do believe he was slandered regarding the supposed shoving match. Got to give him credit - he called the NYT liberal scum on Hannity.
According to the NYT, if they don't specifically see something, they are free to imagine what happened and print it as fact. We've known this is the NYT philosophy for a long time, but this is the first time I've seen them admit it. Everything they print is suspect, has been since Jason Blair. Now we know they fired Jason NOT for lying and making things up, but for getting caught.
The Horror. The Horror.
Huh? When did Horrendous Revolver ever NOT showboat when on cam?
Due to his inexcusable behavior during the Klintoon impeachment, Geraldo gets a bad rap from conservatives. My personal opinion is that he is an excellent reporter and deserves commendation for his war reporting, his work with the Pa miners and his resuces of victims in the wake of Katrina.
I'm enjoying this, and I hope Geronimo milks it for all it's worth. Keep in mind that any money involved in this will go to the lawyers.
Geraldo's enough of a showboater, that the NYT doesn't need to MAKE UP STUFF... given the fact they have decided to make stuff up, in their attempt to attack Geraldo, and one assumes his employer as well.. shows that well the NYT is still the great grey whore and nothing has changed there, and nothing will change there.. no matter how many lies, fabrications and distortions they get caught making up for their political ideology.

The reporter was interviewing a young black lady (late 20s-ish) and she was crying because she was now on her third day without insulin and she didn't want to die under these conditions when suddenly she collapsed. The nurse ran over with somebody else's borrowed insulin and managed to stabilize the girl.
The next scene was the reporter and another reporter back at their base on dry land in fresh clothes discussing how horrible things were out there. What happened to the girl you may ask? Well, I can only assume that they left her there because they did not say that they took it upon themselves to take her back to safety and get her some treatment and a warm meal. Of course, we all know that these reporters have no access to warm food, showers a bed or any medical service while they are on assignment in New Orleans, right?...... RIGHT?!
I wonder if they feel like they are in some Animal Kingdom documentary or something, you know, like they can only film and that they can't interfere with the natural balance of life?
Geraldo acted more like Jerry Springer than a reporter during the NO flood..It appeared to me he set up the show for BOR at the convention center with the NOPD Chief of Police, the copters coming in and the Chief yelling they needed water and food when other pics that day showed pallets of supplies had been delivered earlier..trying to rile up the crowd who were laughing at him, they saw through him....IMO that was showboating..
Theres not enough mustard in the world for a hot dog like Geraldo....but you gotta love that "jayson blair in a cocktail dress" line!!!
I must now admit that I like Geraldo and his flamboyant style. Somehow, both Geraldo and Drudge fit a strange and similar mold - they both claim the title of "Journalist" but they both are considered outcasts by that same profession. Journalism needs the likes of Geraldo and Drudge.....and yet, journalism could stand to do away with the typical NY Times journalist.....
