Geraldo Rivera takes the cake.  This POS is only concerned about his Sensationalized Investigative Reporting.

He just dis'd the President of Virginia Tech on Fox News.

I never liked Geraldo. He had a nose for news in the early 70's. Now, he's just another Nancy Grace.

He should have been charged with treason for giving away troop positions on FOX News during OIF.

He reminds me alot of Howard Cosell, even though  they reported on two completely different topics. He's a man everyone loves to hate.  The irony is that he doesn't even see his reflection in the mirror.

Geraldo and journalism are contradictions. He's just another shock jock and not even a good one of those.

I remember when he rushed down to the stadium during Katrina, obviously after watching Anderson Cooper get all deep and blubbery earlier in the day. Arriving late in the evening, within 15 minutes he had a child in his arms and tears streaming down his face.

It actually added some much needed humor to the whole event :aok

Speaking of which, the tool is spouting off some crap on Fox as I type this.

Well the Student Body and all the parents and guests gave the VT Presdent a standing O today at that convagation(sp). I wouldn't put alot of merit to what Jerry Says. Nor to what most on ALL the news channels say.

I watch FOX news. Jerry/Geraldo is just another of many tools on all the channels.

Unfortunately they are not. A columnist for the New York Times described journalism today aptly. They grab a story like a pit bull and shake it in their mouths until their is absolutely no life left in it and they go on to their next kill. We don't get better news, we just get repetitive news.

So Sad to see an assshat like Geraldo calling himself an Investigative Reporter.... More like "I'm for me and I will beat you to the next story!"

Thought he would have been off the wires after his crap in Iraq.

Bill O'Reilly should have took him to the Barn and whipped his snotty arse..

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

Has Geraldo challenged him to a fight yet? thats next, just wait.

TV "journalism" has taken a huge nose dive post 9-11. Much of it is not real reporting, its opinion, and ranting, camoflaged as "news".

...and all thats oky-doky, just dont slag a womens B-Ball team...or your gone.
