He's one of the good guys now.
Nope, no bias here...
It is fun to see a liberal tear apart another liberal!
Geraldo is no more than just another liberal jerk
The LA Times must have been pissed that on O'Reilly last night, Bill said even the LA Times was sticking up for Geraldo on this story.
Two for the price of one!
Yep. That's the feeling I've always gotten from Geraldo's antics.
He's perpetually breaking into Al Capone's vault to find . . . stale, dank air.
Was not pleased when Fox hired him and now defends him as their champ.
Jerry Rivers and Greta better thank their maker for landing on Fox, that's all I know.
You neglected to add the "barf alert".
I like Geraldo. He's colorful, outrageous, passionate, and opinionated. And once upon a time he was an important journalist who broke important stories. He's a fresh breeze at Fox News. I prefer him in fact, to Shep Smith, who is a bit pompous.
One of the funniest Geraldo stories I ever saw...
He was in Afghanistan, at night, in the field, with lights on and a ring of US soldiers circling him at the edge of darkness with guns facing outward.
Geraldo is saying "Normally, the guys wouldn't allow lights on at night, but for me they made an exception" touting his great relationship with the troops...
In the background, you could read the soldier's minds...
"Shoot now!!! Take the freakin shot!!!"
The sad thing is, from the footage I saw, he didn't do what they said--yet, Geraldo is so shameless that it's easy to believe the NYT lie. Who would put it past him?
Wow, an accurate description from the LA Times.
Did the LAT run the original false NYT story?
Is this then what they consider a correction?
It's surely no apology.
Geraldo is well aware that as a "public figure", he'd have
to prove malice in order to win a libel case against the
NYT. He may have a case.
I thought this clown drew the line in the sand more than a year ago!
I can't figure out why FOX keeps such an inept person on the air. He's more for Dumb and Dumber than prime time.
He can go straight to hell for all I care.
"In 1972, WABC-TV in New York sent rookie reporter Geraldo Rivera to Staten Island to infiltrate the Willowbrook State School. Robert Kennedy had visited the mental institution in 1966 and declared: "Willowbrook State School was not fit for even animals to live in." Geraldo gained entry using a stolen key and documented the brutal and horrific living conditions of its disabled residents, which included several mentally retarded children. The report led to an immediate government inquiry and won Geraldo the Peabody Award, forever changing the role of the state run institutional system. Rivera’s expose and book on Willowbrook titled, “A Report on How It Is and Why It Doesn't Have to Be That Way,” was the catalyst that brought about the class action lawsuit primarily responsible for changing this archaic system, New York State Association for Retarded Children, et. al. and Parisi, et. al. v. Rockefeller.
The Willowbrook case led New York State to adopt sweeping change. Moreover, it became popular opinion that these deplorable conditions were unacceptable for people in state-run institutions, regardless of mental disability diagnosis. In furtherance of the goal to better meet the needs of these distinct and vulnerable populations, in 1978, the state Department of Mental Hygiene was separated into three, diagnosis-based offices – The Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse, the Office of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, and the Office of Mental Health."
He's one of the good guys now.
Since one of the parties is Geraldo and the other the NYT, I have to side with Geraldo.
I wouldn't side with the Slimes if it was fighting a takover by Al Jareeza.
(......but then, sometimes I think it HAS been taken over by Al Jareeza.....)
Oh, let's call the whole thing off.
Leni
I am not very fond of Geraldo either but I will defending him against the LASlimes anytime.
Geraldo, "You know me Bill, I am a liberal Republican."
