The Times' excuse - that it can't be known what acctually happened, in order to defend what the writer said is beyond the pale.

That paper must be having some serious internal problems.

The Slimes should issue a clarification - but I'll forgive even THEM for assuming that Geraldo was showboating. He DOES tend to "froth up" at times when on location.

Is there anyone else out there that questions the press in NO as to why THEY didn't load up a bunch of Americans and evacuate them or at least fill up their vehicle with water and distribute it?

Almost impossible to take sides in a Geraldo/ NYT dispute.

I can't believe I'm agreeing with the NY Slimes. Anybody
who doesn't think Whoreraldo was showboating during his
hurricane aftermath coverage is delusional. He made Shepard
Smith look calm.

True, but in this case, I side with ol' Jerry Rivers. I saw him talk with Brit Hume, and he did a good job of explaining what happened. Like he told Brit, the NYT does not like Fox News.

Because "the press must remain OUTSIDE of the story, and not a part of it." LOL - It's like Sam Kenison used to say about all those 'starving children' infomericals; doesn't the cameraman have a sandwich or something for the kid? "DON'T FEED HIM! It doesn't work unless he LOOKS HUNGRY!!!!!!"

Meanwhile, if you look at what the teams of LOCAL reporters from all over the country) were doing while in NO, they WERE giving their own food and water away. I saw several stories filed by one of our local reporters, and half the time, she was in tears and emptying everything out of her truck to give away.

Geraldo has his pluses and minuses, but I hope he wins this because I do believe he was slandered regarding the supposed shoving match. Got to give him credit - he called the NYT liberal scum on Hannity.

According to the NYT, if they don't specifically see something, they are free to imagine what happened and print it as fact. We've known this is the NYT philosophy for a long time, but this is the first time I've seen them admit it. Everything they print is suspect, has been since Jason Blair. Now we know they fired Jason NOT for lying and making things up, but for getting caught.

It doesn't matter if he was "showboating" 99% of the time. In the video that the claim is made with, there is no "nudge". She lied.

Due to his inexcusable behavior during the Klintoon impeachment, Geraldo gets a bad rap from conservatives. My personal opinion is that he is an excellent reporter and deserves commendation for his war reporting, his work with the Pa miners and his resuces of victims in the wake of Katrina.

Your kidding, right?

he draws a map in the sand to let,what's left of the enemy in Iraq to know US locations.

In NO, he did a horrible job.

At the convention center, screaming to let the people cross the bridge (Miss River Bridge) and holding up a baby as though the kid was starving. It took everything he had inside him to squirt out a tear.

Keep him behind the desk. Let the real reporters go out and report.

While Im at it, Gee-raldo, cut that F-ing mustache, your about 80 years to late.

We'll agree to disagree. I am a sucka for sensationalism.

I'm enjoying this, and I hope Geronimo milks it for all it's worth. Keep in mind that any money involved in this will go to the lawyers.

Geraldo's enough of a showboater, that the NYT doesn't need to MAKE UP STUFF... given the fact they have decided to make stuff up, in their attempt to attack Geraldo, and one assumes his employer as well.. shows that well the NYT is still the great grey whore and nothing has changed there, and nothing will change there.. no matter how many lies, fabrications and distortions they get caught making up for their political ideology.
