Geraldo Rivera sees a double standard at work in ABC News’ decision to stand by George Stephanopoulos after the network’s chief anchor apologized for failing to publicly disclose $75,000 in donations to the Clinton Foundation over the last three years. In a Facebook post Friday morning, Rivera claimed he was fired by ABC News in 1985 for making a $200 political donation and wondered why Stephanopoulos isn’t getting the same treatment.
“In 1985, after fifteen great years, I was fired by ABC News,” Rivera wrote. “The official reason for my firing was a non-disclosed $200 donation to a family friend running in a non-partisan mayoral campaign in New Bedford Massachusetts.”
He went on to say that the “real reason” he was fired was a dispute with network head Roone Arldege over a spiked 20/20 story involving Marilyn Monroe and the Kennedys.
“The point is ABC treated my undisclosed $200 donation harshly because the network wanted me out for that unrelated reason,” Rivera continued. “Now ABC is bending over backward to minimize and forgive George Stephanopoulos’ $75,000 donation to the Clinton Foundation because he is central to the network’s recent success.”

Simple. George donated ABC’s money. Geraldo donated Geraldo’s money.
Fear of the R word trumps all else.
Because stephie has a prettier face and kisses up 100% to the left.
No he isn't. It's David Muir, the gay guy that reads the news in the evening...................
Dear Whorealdo: When you dance with the devil, this is your reward. Shut up. I don’t feel sorry for you.
Why aren’t you tolerant, Geraldo? You’ve promoted double standards for decades. Now, go choke on it.
If the media did not have double standards, they would have not standards at all.
You get a pass if you have built a whole career on giving the Clinton’s oral gratification.
$75,000-———>minus 85% (for stuff) = +/- $11,250
Anyone who fires Jerry Rivers is correct.
Geraldo:
ABC hired Snuffleupagus BECAUSE he used to work for the Clintons.
He went on to say that the "real reason" he was fired was a dispute with network head Roone Arldege over a spiked 20/20 story involving Marilyn Monroe and the Kennedys.The difference is, Snuffy isn't doing stories about JFK's and RFK's adulteries, and when ABC spikes a story, Snuffy is the one who wanted it spiked.
No, Geraldo or Jerry or whateverthehell your REAL name is.
They fired you because you were — and are — a no talent, lefty bloviator.
If he gets fired will the cliton crime family hire him? lol
[Stephanopoulos isn’t getting the same treatment.]
Maybe it’s because you are a gnat on their donkeys’ ass.
Damn Jerry, your quick!
Lets not forget the remarkable job that the Clinton Foundation did for Haiti!
They fired you for writing in the sand, and putting our troops in danger. IDIOT

Geraldo Rivera along with George Stephanopoulos and a whole passel of other “journalists” ought be given the old anti aircraft treatment Kim Jung Un gives to his garbage.
