Geraldo Rivera is apologizing for calling the news business flirty in the wake of Today show host Matt Lauers firing by NBC over sexual misconduct allegations.
The Fox News reporter tweeted Wednesday that the sexual harassment issue is so red hot right now there is no room for any thought or opinion but hang em high. He added: If News wasnt (formerly) a flirty biz then how do we explain so many newsroom courtships that have led to happy marriages?
Rivera also suggested there was a slight chance that those making allegations were motivated by big money settlements.

He was the first person that came to mind when there was mention of Newsperson and sex offenses.
In war, truth is usually the first casualty.
gorendo revolver stumbled into the truth and now is trying to backpedal.
And we are indeed at war. With liberals and associated p.c.
Whorealdo is waiting for the shoe to drop on him. LOL!
I wondered the moment I heard about Geraldo’s tweets if he was doing a little pre-emptive rationalizing to get ahead of the next news cycle.
i like Geraldo. He’s wrong a lot, but fair a lot too. Id hate to see the Salem witch hysteria take him out too.
He publicly wrote or stated about screwing some guys wife while the guy was dieing in the next room.
Whiskey Tucking Fango?
Does that reflect worse on Whorealdo or on the wife? (Shades of the story about Gingrich and the wife with cancer...)
Yes. The last time America unconditionally practiced "BELIEVE THE WOMEN" was in Salem, Massachusetts.
Canada’s PM must be so happy this creep dog his mother....
How does one apologize for having the personality of a jackass?
Everyone is wondering who will be next. I think I just heard the next pig squeeling.
Oh man... You just know it! Hoping Whorealdo, Shemp Smith and Chris Wallace have "skeletons" in their closets, and will be fired soon from FNC. :-D
Take your choice. I personally have enough class to say “ Go check if the dude is room temperature.”
I agree. I can’t believe he’s squeaky clean in all of this, especially thinking back to the kiss and tell book he wrote a few years ago.

Just spotted this on Twitter.

I seem to remember Dolly Parton commenting on some form or instance of abuse of women and she said, to paraphrase, we women get banged around every now and then.
Does anyone have a better recollection of that?
He likes the ladies, so I do not doubt that, I think he has had 6 wives. Now he may be trying to soften the landing.
That said, reading the Andrea Tantaros, Gretchen Carlson and Roginski suits against FOX, there was nothing, absolutely nothing compared to the Lauer/Halperin/Weinstein triple play perversion.
Roger Ailes asked Andrea to “spin around” and that was the extent of the harassment. Which for the entertainment business is kind of expected. No dropping trow, showing genitals, or all the stuff that Bill Clinton and the Arkansas State Troopers made famous. Proves to me it was just about money.
Carlson said Roger ‘hugged her or kissed her’ and there was nothing else. It seemed harmless compared to the mayhem we are now seeing, like the scary Russ Simmons kidnap rape.
Carlson was on the way out at Fox, so it is hard to be a believer in her harassment, more like a way to make money. Had her ratings not dropped and she was still with a show, this would have never happened. Now a female professional fails and harassment is the reason, the road to $20 million.
Others, not mothers. That was written on an iPad.
“If what Lauers accuser said is true, why is he not being charged with rape?”
Well, from what I read of the one accuser’s story, she doesn’t seem to have actually said “no” to any of his requests or resisted him. Kind of hard to make a case that something like that was “rape”.
