Please change the headline of this to include "HOAX". Geraldo is still in Iraq with the 101st. Frankly I'm glad because I think the man did change quite a bit and deserve a redemption from you people.

The one thing that Geraldo said when he was hired by FOX that made me want to him a chance was that September 11 had changed his life. He had lost some 70 friends in the twin towers, and his whole outlook had changed. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. We'll see how he does.

I did give him a break, and so did I give Greta a chance. I watched his reporting last night, and he gave way more info than he should have, and more, in my opinion, than the "consultant generals" with the screen writers.

Just because Fox is better than the others, doesn't mean we cut them slack when they mess up.

I remember when my kids demanded I cut them some slack for some infraction of the rules when they were teenagers. Their argument was that they were good students, didn't get in trouble, and we were lucky to have such decent kids compared to what they could be like... yada, yada!

They still got the parental lectures, and grounded. We expected them to live up to certain standards, and that was that. I expect Fox to live up to certain standards, and feel that it is appropriate to call a journalist when he slips over the line.

I guess we are arguing over where the line should be, for I will not cut Fox slack just because they are better than NBC and CNN.
