Fox News correspondent Geraldo Rivera, aka Gerry Rivers before being Hispanic was fashionable, is out peddling his memoir, titled The Geraldo Show. On the Fox News program The Five, he was asked if he regrets any news story he reported, and his answer was shocking, particularly in the light of the border storming currently underway in Gaza. Aaron Klein at Breitbart reports his comments: I regret in 2002 backing down from backing the Palestinians in their conflict with Israel. The Second Intifada. Because I saw with my own eyes how. And I know how this is going to resonate very...

Geraldo just said on Hannity & Colmes that Rush Limbaugh should apologize and that he is just making a big deal to get bigger ratings. He compared Rush to Move-On.

July 12, 2002 It was a race to crawl out of the Nielsen cellar on Thursday among the Big Four primetime networks. Fox failed to generate much heat with the debut of its news magazine "The Pulse" (5.2 million viewers) and the return of "Beyond Belief." ABC was scraping bottom with its 8-10 p.m. telecast of "Star Trek: First Contact" (4.2 million viewers) and even NBC couldn't draw much of a crowd with reruns of its regular Thursday slate. CBS won the night by a wide margin (9.3 million viewers, 3.4 rating/11 share in adults 18-49) on the strength of...
