A city in ruins(Geraldo the fraud)
Salon.com ^ | Sept. 5, 2005 | Stephen Elliot

Posted on 09/06/2005 8:00:52 PM PDT by Bubbasucks

Geraldo Rivera arrives in a Fox News truck. An elderly woman with blond hair grips his elbow. She's wearing thick dark glasses and a pink shirt. He carries her small white dog in his arms. He's wearing thigh-high waders unzipped to below his knees. We shake hands. "Her relative called one of our stations," Geraldo tells me, explaining how that call went to another station, and then another, and finally to him.

The woman had been stranded in her home for six days. Geraldo picked up the woman and her dog and brought them here. The woman looks frail on his arm, though not as bad perhaps as a lady collapsed on a chair nearby, unable to move. Or a woman in a wheelchair being lifted from the truck, carrying her prosthetic leg on her lap.

"That's the second time he brought her here," one of the doctors tells me, nodding toward Geraldo.

"What?"

"They did two takes. Geraldo made that poor woman walk from the Fox News van to the heliport twice. Both times carrying her dog."

"Are you serious?" I ask. He says he is.

Some of us remember the con job he pulled off opening that vault years ago. The guy's a pig.

Don't post stories like this is the activism topic. Read the topic description before selecting it. Seriously.

I think Geraldo intentionally stuck his head in the water so he could look messed up like that. He really is a fraud.

Pestering Mark Peterson wasn't right either, before he was even arrested for anything...

What a tool. Why Fox hired him I have no idea. He's even slimier than most of the MSM jackals, and that's saying a lot.

Uh yeah, well besides playing the role of rescuer, which he did, he's also responsible for providing quality footage for his station. He's doing his job and doing a good deed. Redoing the rescue doesn't change the fact that they did rescue her.

Why does everyone have to be so critical?

Liberals are Drama Queens, and Whoraldo hasn't fighured out that the day of Sensationalist Drama Reporters is over. People want the facts Whoraldo, not all the drama and acting, life is hard enough without all the theatrics.

Are you starting to believe the targeted propaganda pieces written by Salon these days?

Uh, staging the news (like doing re-takes), isn't that supposed to be a big no-no?

(And I'm not registering with Salon or patronizing their advertizers to read the whole article.)

The only bit of Fox news I watched over the weekend found Geraldo on with O'Reilly at the Convention Center. He was with the Police Chief of New Orleans and both were making utter asses out of themselves. It was truly a Capone's vault moment.

Whorealdo will always be Whorelado, no matter how many sheeple cheer him on.

Maybe they hired him so they could send him on dangerous assignments and get him killed.

I would love to know if this is true, I would not put it past him. Can't trust "Salon" either.
