Fox’s Geraldo Rivera Caught In Crossfire Between Rebels And Gaddafi’s Snipers
Mediaite ^ | April 3, 2011 | Matt Schneider

Geraldo Rivera reporting from Libya truly demonstrates the great lengths he will go in order to report a story, as he found himself in the middle of crossfire between an “unruly gang” of Libyan rebels and the professional snipers from Gaddafi’s forces. Geraldo quickly ducks for cover, and the brave crew keeps the camera rolling.

Rivera described the chaotic experience:

“It was a wild, wild scene. And I was as worried about getting shot in the back by the good guys, as I was about getting shot in the front by the Gaddafi forces.”

Also with his on-the-ground knowledge, Rivera provides a startling assessment of the “rebel army,” suggesting they “have the fire discipline of an L.A. street gang.” As a result, Rivera advises against NATO or America arming the rebels, because if the rebels had more weapons, Geraldo predicts they would be a “grave danger to themselves and others [since] they don’t know how to use these weapons.”

Mustn't say it. Wouldn't be prudent. Won't say it.

Sounds like damn poor marksmanship to me.

I’ve really no idea why FOX keeps this clown around, unless it’s for comic relief.

I’m sure his wife and children were so pleased with his dangerous activities. Not.

I have been predicting we will see a journalist killed on live television eventually in one of these situations.

Have they let the air out of him yet? They need to aim better.

I am glad to know at least one other person knows what is important here.

Taking a bullet is one thing, but, damage to the Mustache! NEVER!

I’ve had mine for 30 years and plan on keeping it!

It’s amazing how idiots watch the 24x7 propaganda on Obama TV.
