WTF Is Geraldo doing?

Posted on 03/30/2003 8:48:09 PM PST by lewislynn

This is the third night I've seen Geraldo giving the location of his company and mentioning the new supply route to the west.

Three nights ago he gave his location by miles. So many miles north of Q8 and so many miles south of Baghdad and so many miles west of ?....

Now he's drawing their war plan in the sand.

I'll put Geraldo in the Peter Arnett category (is anybody really surprised at his treason?).

I went to the FOX website but can't find the e-mail address...I'm pissed.

Calm down. All these "embedded reporters" have been instructed by the military on what they can or can't say. If they fail to abide by these guidelines, the military will pull the plug on them.

As for Geraldo, I think he's showboating. I usually get very annoyed watching his reports.

My jaw hit the floor when I heard him give the plan away with times and locations. I was wondering if any one else saw this and was as shocked as I was? What is Fox thinking?

The sooner FOX dumps him, the better.

Chill, man. Geraldo had an epiphany when 70 of his friends perished on 9-11. He's alright now. I hated him before.

I am impressed with your use of the language (WTF?) you sound like ME!

He's not saying anything that can't be said.

ITs like he is exploiting the soldiers he is with. MAking them stand around him while the camera is on.

Id hate to get between him and a camera...

While I consider Geraldo still on probation, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't say anything he wasn't cleared to say. If I'm wrong, I'm sure he'll be taken out of the country in cuffs.

Listen to Rivera's reports to find out everything is all about him, all the time. Besides, his nose is bigger than he is. So there.

He's not telling us anything the military doesn't want him to put out and if I'm wrong we'll know when they remove him from the unit he's with. The mitary has already thrown out a couple Christian Science Monitor repoters for putting out classified infomation.

These guys are being closely watched. The Pentagon ordered the Christian Science Monitor reporter back to the US last week due to his big mouth.

It's OK. Geraldo is just telling the Iraqis exactly what CENTCOM wants them to hear...

Well as far as I'm concerned, the jury is still out on Geraldo. He was such a shameless Clinton bum-kisser during the 1990s that I will always be suspicious of his true motives. I get the feeling that if there is ever another Democrat Administration (hopefully not until after I die) that he will go right back to his old ways.

Geraldo is a pig, the most arrogant, grandstanding "reporter" (yeah, right) to ever be born. He would, I am convinced, sell his own mother for the right price. He is completely untrustworthy. A person of no character.

I am sending Fox a note to send him the hell back to Afghanistan where we didn't have to see his stupid face so often. This is ridiculous. He is a fool.

One of Geraldo biggest problems is his ego. He is there to put on a show. Have you noticed everytime FOX goes to him he has an audience, while the other embedded reporters are reporting on the troops and the war.

Heeeeeere's Geeeerrrraldo!

Geraldo is a weenie, true. But he IS Fox's weenie. He's a leftie, but he's gung ho. That whole machismo thing I guess. He seriously enjoys being with the troops, has been in afghanistan and other locations overseas for months.

He would be the first person to clam up if the immediate commanders felt inclined to advise him so.

I'm about as hard right as you can get, and aside from his exuberant enthusiasm, I'd say he's doing ok, he's on board, and no matter his politics he's got stones, he's been under fire before. Hell, he was one of the few reporters in afghanistan to get his own ak-47.

He's a weenie, and I still have alotta anger over his agenda during impeachment, but I can't fault the guy since he joined Fox.

Arnett is seriously lost.

We are just in the beginning of this War.

They will call his effing BS "objective reporting".

We see what the truth is.

The man is an effing traitor, and he encourages our adversaries.

He is a sick bastard.

The reports that he submits are destructive to the morale of our Troops.

Screw that Human Shield.

I am sick and tired of these assholes.

So called Journalists.

They think that we are all stupid.

All of the embedded reporters are being told what they can and cannot say, as regarding location, and times....and they know if they breach this, the military will get rid of them...

A few days ago, one reporter who was embedded, was asked to leave, because he gave out information, that he was not supposed to....I cannot remember the name of the reporter, just that it did happen...

So altho you may not like Geraldo, on this score you are wrong about your perceiving that he did wrong...

And if he was in the wrong, ,he will get booted out...
