"Hey don't be bad mouthin my brother!"

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.

He is the one part of FOX I do not care for...I do not want to hear anything that happens to fall out of his mouth
I think this article is BS. I will give Geraldo the benefit of the doubt.
Wow. A lot of haters here.
Drop your venom and take a minute to see who the source for this article is.
I just love it here when you folks post "I hate XXX" or "XXX is a tool". Try to post something, interesting and enlightening. Then again, that may be too much to ask.
Nooooooo!!!
Horrendo is a bulls**t artist? Who knew?
:-D )))
You know, there are times I think them modz should have cool monikers, like, you know, The Spanish Inquisition..
Geraldo has a following and appears to have passion.
I dont know himlalalalalalalaa....*whistles profusely...seriesly...."
Please don't group me as one of Geraldo's followers. I just feel slate is backing up the NY Times after they attacked him and he gave them an ultimatum, write a retraction or he will sue them. Well.. they didn't write the retraction. It will be nice to see them get their butts kicked by Geraldo.
Oh Please, he was scratching a stick in the dirt. C'mon what do you think Saddam was watching Fox News and strategizing around a big war room mahoghany table.
Thay gave him a slap on the hand and sent him to Kuwait for 10 days and then he was back with the troops.
it wont be hard for someone to get the DR who said that Geraldo made her do it twice. Is there a name given as source in the main story?
Seriously, who would believe anything written in Salon.com?

His reports could be mistaken for bad SNL skits.
Fair and balanced????
Simply unbelievable????????
This story is an extension of the NYTimes BS. There are other things to gripe about Geraldo on without making stuff up. I didn't think he should have been reporting outside the Superdome last week having to have four or five guards watching him and keeping the crowd back. He pointed out very proudly how New Orleans' finest were watching his back. My thoughts went to the women or children who might have been raped inside the Superdome because the police who would have been watching them were outside watching Geraldo.
I saw some of the "rescue" and it looked faked to me. And then Fox News Channel had a banner up that said "Fox News Report Saves Katrina Victim" in huge letters. Last night, Geraldo was on O'Reilly tooting his horn over this "rescue" again. I'm not one to believe Salon.com, but my gut feeling from everything I saw of this "rescue" was that it was staged.
