Title: Glorified Journalism
Post by: AWMac on April 17, 2007, 05:55:06 AM: 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.

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

Post by: Ripsnort on April 17, 2007, 04:08:17 PM: 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.

Post by: Charon on April 17, 2007, 04:51:53 PM: 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.

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.

Post by: AWMac on April 17, 2007, 10:33:19 PM: 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..

Post by: Squire on April 18, 2007, 08:09:38 AM: 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.

Lori Dhue ... Isn't that a snack cake?

Post by: Sweet2th on April 18, 2007, 08:18:21 AM: I agree that he made the wrong statement.

15 or so years ago he was at a Dumbarse Nazi Rally for 1 of his shows, when this Neo-Nazi throws his Wendy's Biggie drink on Geraldo.He looks back at the camera man, hands him the mic, then beats the piss out of the Neo-Nazi in the street, after which he is arrested.But this is only one of 10.

Post by: Engine on April 18, 2007, 09:24:07 AM: The only real professionalism I have seen from our TV media recently is in the period during and immediately after 9/11, when they cut out most of the rating grab pieces, and just reported what they knew.

Within a week or two, they were back to the usual ratings garbage, i.e. "An item your family uses every hour has just been recalled, and using it will KILL you! Find out what it is at 10pm tonight."
