Jerry "Geronimo" Rivers is a lying, grandstanding, macho-posturing punk. FoxNews should fire him and apologize, and he should be disgraced forever. He's doing a lot of name-calling now, and pretty soon he'll be threatening to beat up anybody who tells the truth about what a lying weasel he is. I'm suprised some SF trooper hasn't kicked his lying ass for dishonoring those dead soldiers.

Sun writer David Folkenflik "has slandered a journalist who is an honest person and has contributed arguably much more to American society than he has," Rivera says. "This cannot stand. He has impugned my honor. It is as if he slapped me in the face and challenged me to a duel. He is going to regret this story for the rest of his career."

LOL LOL ...Whoraldo has no honor! He sold it for a place at Clintons table.

Interesting that this "honest person" is going to make someone pay for his opinion the rest of his career...however Jerry's opinion of the Clintons should be put aside so we can "move on".The hypocrite continues to think we are all fools .

Hey Geraldo, why don't you say it depends on what the definition of "at" is? Worked for your hero.

Sun writer David Folkenflik "has slandered a journalist who is an honest person and has contributed arguably much more to American society than he has," Rivera says.

And Rivera's contribution to American society would be...?

It was a sad day when Fox hired him

I couldn't beleve it when people here at FR were actually saying, "Geraldo's changed, he's really a great reporter now!" I really lost a lot of respect for several posters.

An excerpt from the transcript of Kurtz's CNN yack show, Reliable Sources, from this weekend, regarding Rivers..........

Now, there's continuing controversy, as you all know, about Geraldo Rivera and his role as a FOX NEWS war correspondent. Let's take a look at one of his recent reports earlier this month.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

GERALDO RIVERA, FOX NEWS: ... walked over the spot where the friendly fire took so many of our men and the mujahideen yesterday. It was just, the whole place, just fried, really, and bits of uniforms and tattered clothing everywhere. I said the Lord's prayer and really choked up. I could almost choke up relating the story to you right now.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

KURTZ: Now, "The Baltimore Sun" reported that Rivera was at Tora Bora for that report. The actual friendly fire incident involving Americans was hundreds of miles away, near Kandahar. Rivera told me this was an honest mistake, he had confused the two incidents, but that he did see an incident involving Afghan opposition fighters at that place. He says it's an honest mistake. Tom DeFrank, is it a serious mistake?

DEFRANK: I think it is a serious mistake. I think there's a pattern here with Geraldo. I mean, there's a big difference of opinion in the journalistic community whether he's even a reporter. I'm dubious.

KURTZ: They did not correct it on the air, although certainly they have corrected it to reporters who have called. But Mark Thompson, since no one else reported this friendly fire incident, again, involving Afghan opposition fighters that Geraldo says took place there, could that be that there could be such an incident where there would be serious fatalities or wounding and that no one else, no other journalists would find out about it?

THOMPSON: Well, allegedly, the one he was reporting on, not the Kandahar one, took place three days after he was on the air, on December 6.

KURTZ: He says this is a different incident.

THOMPSON: No, I understand that. Oh, a different Afghan...

KURTZ: A different Afghan incident in the Tora Bora region.

THOMPSON: ... up at Tora Bora. OK. I hadn't heard that.

KURTZ: Yeah.

THOMPSON: I mean, plainly, there are all sorts of conflicting claims. We've seen some in the last 24 hours about, hey, you hit friendly guys. No, we didn't, we hit legitimate targets. I just think that if you're on the scene, as Geraldo is, and, you know, the American friendly fire deaths occurred several hundred miles away, I don't see how you make a mistake like that.

KURTZ: Just briefly, is Geraldo Rivera part of a tradition of colorful correspondents or more of a showman?

DE BORCHGRAVE: He's a flamboyant journalist. He's a flamboyant foreign correspondent in the tradition of flamboyant foreign correspondents.

KURTZ: Well put, concisely put, and we have to take a break.

Kurtz certainly gave it short shrift on his show...........

I can't believe Fox signed this punk to begin with !..

Rush Limbaugh said Geraldo was hired because they needed a liberal(to balance)and while I understand that thinking ...He's more trouble than he's worth

Jerry "Geronimo" Rivers is a lying, grandstanding, macho-posturing punk.

Is it true, that his name used to be Jerry Rivers I mean?

As long as Geraldo doesn't spout any liberalisms while on Fox he probably brought quite a few million more people to watch Fox News,, any we hook are to his and Fox's credit and good for America,,, it's a win win situation because of Geraldo more people are converted to conservatism,,everybody knows that once you start watching Fox News you don't go back to other News Networks for your regular viewing,,

You have a point...but if Geraldo is proven a liar he should be canned

Jerry lied!

He, also, said he was giving that helmut to the folks at Fox Friends BEFORE he decided to give it to the FD.

There is no such thing, at this date of the world's history, in America, as an independent press. . . . The business of the journalist is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. . . . . We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes. -- John Swinton (1829-1901), managing editor of the New York Times during the Civil War and later of the New York Sun, in a speech to journalists in New York, c. 1880.

Foxnews ratings have skyrocketed past CNN's. The biggest problem they now have is getting rid of those dammed reruns overnight. It should be a true 24/7 news channel not The Factor three times per day.

He hasn't had any airtime in the past several days, has he? Meanwhile, CNN is covering the border war that's shaping up on the Indian-Pakistan border, which is flaring up tonight, and may rapidly turn into a real mega-mess, and Fox is showing the ten thousandth rerun of Oliver North's show.

Where's GerWaldo?

Gerald Lied BIG TIME, he should be fired...

"I couldn't beleve it when people here at FR were actually saying, "Geraldo's changed, he's really a great reporter now!"

I'm with you ozzy...
all the Freepers who fell for Rivera should get up from their pooters and walk to the nearest mirror, look deep into those baby blues and say, HE GOT ME AGAIN!!!, BUT THIS IS THE LAST TIME...I PROMISE!!!
