Geraldo fumes, says studio locked him out after contract dispute
NY POST ^ | November 30, 2015 | Ian Mohr

Geraldo Rivera is in a war of words with Cumulus Media and its new CEO Mary Berner — which he says will spill over into a lawsuit.

Rivera claims he’s been locked out of his studio at Cumulus’ WABC-AM after the company reneged on a contract extension he says he negotiated with a previous regime. Berner took over embattled Cumulus — the nation’s No. 2 radio broadcaster, with 454 stations in 90 markets — in September, after running Reader’s Digest. Modal Trigger Mary BernerPhoto: Getty Images

But sources close to Cumulus counter that new management at the radio broadcaster did offer Rivera a contract extension — but he rejected it.

In a scathing Facebook rant, Rivera wrote on Saturday of the dispute: “I’ll speak more about the shortcomings of the new Cumulus management as this bitter saga wears on, but trust me they have already cost their stockholders hundreds of thousands in lost ad revenue tied to my show. In locking me out of my studio as of last Friday even though my contract does not expire until December 31st and in refusing to honor the 2016 deal negotiated by the ousted [Cumulus vets Lew and John Dickey], they have breached my contract. That slight will not go unanswered.”

Well if this phony idiot is going to post selfies then they are fair game to be photo-shopped.

No kidding. This libtard/commie deserves everything coming to him. Did you see the “ah shit” look on his face when his daughter was endangered while in Paris? I was thinking sweet revenge for his bleeding heart rant over refugees.

LOLOLOLOL! Couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy!

This champion of illegal immigrants is ignorant, arrogant, loud and delusional.

IMPEACH THE MORON NOW!
(My new pre-tag-line tag line)

I wish I ever watched him, so I could quit.
He certainly won't be missed!
