I heard him deny this on Fox & Friends this morning. He denied yesterday's report that he had already been booted. He denied today's report that there was a desire to have him booted.
Yesterday, he blamed it on old "friends" in older networks who were trying to do damage control with the Peter Arnett story......striving for some kind of equivalency so the heat didn't come back onto the socialistic, anti-american broadcast news outlets.

Did anybody see one of Geraldo's last reports where instead of allowing more soldiers to say hello to their loved ones he and his camera crew used up the time to say hello to their people, and they did it like they were goofy junior high kids?
Geraldo is not a serious person and FOX did not make a serious decision when they hired him.

As for Rivera's denials, well, it won't be the first time he got the story completely wrong.
In fact, he is so prone to sensationalism that he's simply not very good at understanding, and thus reporting, the truth, especially when it comes to grasping political dynamics.
You only had to watch his reporting from Turkey---his breathless I-got-the-story-first reports that Ankara indeed would allow U.S. troops to base there---to realize he doesn't apply the brain power necessary to accurately "read" a situation.
Geraldo has had his moments on Fox, but he's still an embarrasment. There are many other talented journalists. Fox should choose one of them.
