Were they "deeply saddened'?

"I don't understand why Fox is fighting this. I think it's a good thing for them to accept responsibility for the fact that sometimes journalists must accept personal responsibility for breaking the rules".

It seems that a lot of people have forgotten what Geraldo did and said in Afganistan.

It is a known fact that Geraldo is less than honest.

Fox News would not make any comments on his behavior during time either.

TaRaRA, you asked;" "I still want to know why Geraldo WAS embedded with SpecOps in Afghanistan going after OBL, and SUDDENLY he moved his "embedding" to Bagdad?"

Probably the reason is because of the below incident and the fact that he started packing a gun.

From Article:

Rivera had claimed in a Dec. 6 dispatch to have choked up after saying the Lord's Prayer over the "hallowed ground" in Afghanistan where "friendly fire took so many of our, our men and the mujahedeen yesterday."

But, as Rivera admitted after questions were raised by The Sun, he was several hundred miles from the site outside Kandahar where three Americans were killed on Dec. 5 by errant U.S. bombs. In an interview by satellite phone on Tuesday, Rivera said he had confused the Kandahar deaths with another "friendly fire" incident that cost several Afghan lives in Tora Bora.

The problem with that explanation: The Tora Bora incident occurred at least three days after Rivera's report, according to the Pentagon..............................................

Since the Sun article Wednesday about the episode, Fox News has offered no further explanation for Rivera's report. On Wednesday, Fox News spokesman Rob Zimmerman said he had "no information" on whether the network was reviewing the incident. Yesterday, Zimmerman suggested The Sun had a vendetta against the channel and hung up the phone.

re: I don't understand why Fox is fighting this. )))

If they are indeed fighting, it would be a continuation of the weird affection they seem to have for him...I couldn't believe it when they hired him in the first place. But, I watch him because I watch Fox. Though I draw the line at Greta.

You were definitely more observant than me....but then, whenever Geraldo is on, I usually flip channels to avoid cringing through another embarrassing macho display. A man that has to sell himself by strutting around like a rooster is a real turn off in the best of situations. But surrounding himself with valiant soldiers in order to enhance himself is just disgusting.
