“Deserted by Latinos, blacks and his feckless lazy Millennial supporters…” Geraldo Rivera declared on Twitter Wednesday that the Democrats’ wave defeat was all about race and age. Obama, he wrote, was “deserted” by Latinos, blacks and “his feckless lazy Millennial supporters,” which allowed the president to get his "a** kicked" by “millions of angry old white folk.” In addition to the racial implications of his statement (sure sounds like the description of a lynching…), as Twitchy notes, Rivera’s assertion is egregious in its assumptions about age demos: By the way, according to CNN’s exit polls, Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., won...

Taylor Woolrich’s case was discussed on Fox News this afternoon. Unfortunately, Geraldo Rivera was on to discuss Taylor’s case and he was very ill informed about what was happening. Here are just five errors in his discussion. 1) Bennett could be released from jail at any time and Taylor calls up every day to make sure that he hasn’t posted bail. Bennett has hired one of the very best defense lawyers in San Diego county, and apparently has been able to post a large retainer of hundreds of thousands of dollars for the lawyer. His bail is set at $300,000,...

Fox News host Geraldo Rivera has accused conservative blogger Matt Drudge of trying to inflame conservatives and “stir up a civil war,” due to his website’s aggressive coverage of the border crisis. “Shame on Drudge,” Mr. Rivera tweeted Wednesday morning. “His authoritative website has gone hysterical on issue of immigrant children. 14 stories like ‘Could Ebola sneak across?’” Mr. Rivera argued during his radio show that Mr. Drudge, founder of “the most powerful website,” is “doing his best to stir up a civil war” with his headlines, Mediaite reported. “This is exactly what they did to the Irish in the...

Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz was on the receiving end of a blistering attack by Fox News Channel host Eric Bolling over the weekend during a heated argument over Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and the tactics he used to seek the defunding of the Affordable Care Act. “Do people actually pay,” Bolling asked, “to have you teach children?” In a segment on Fox News Channel’s Geraldo At Large on Saturday night, Dershowitz began by insisting that “health care is the best thing to happen to this country in my adult life.”finally, finally, we’re becoming a first world country,” he continued....

Last year NewsBusters repeatedly made the case that members of the press – in particular ABC’s George Stephanopoulos – aided and abetted President Obama’s claim that the Republicans were engaging in a so-called War on Women. In a radio interview with Geraldo Rivera Wednesday, Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said this might have been the case (video follows with transcript and commentary): GERALDO RIVERA: Reince Priebus, the RNC chair was on the Republican, top politician on the Republican side, just saying that if CNN and NBC don’t cancel their planned films about Hillary Clinton, that he’s not going to allow any...

When Geraldo Rivera stepped out of the shower sometime over the weekend, he examined his lithe 70-year-old body in the mirror and smiled. The Fox News contributor really couldn't think of a good reason to deprive the world the pleasure of ogling his torso. After all, admiring his own chiseled awesomeness has kept him entertained for years. Before positioning himself in front of one of his favorite mirrors, the newsman grabbed his smartphone, his red-tinted shades and a towel he could use strategically in the unlikely event he was overcome by actual feelings of modesty. Without further ado, the...

“I took it Saturday morning,” Geraldo said, and explained that after doing his Fox News show that night he was too wired to just go home and go to bed, so he busted open the booze. “I was back in the bathroom at 2:30. I had a couple of drinks. I said ‘Dammit I like that picture!’ I learned how to use Twitter a couple weeks ago.” Geraldo explained what his drink of choice was that night. “This weekend was tequila. I never do tequila when I’m alone and I had a new bottle that someone had given me. I...

(Newsday) Fox News host Geraldo Rivera tweeted, then deleted, a nearly-naked self photo on Sunday morning in an online faux pas amazingly similar to the scandal that engulfed former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY). Thankfully, the photo did not feature the 70-year-old anchor’s, erm, parts. “70 is the new 50 (Erica and family are going to be so pissed … but at my age … )” the host of “Geraldo At Large” wrote in his early morning tweet, attaching a shirtless, self-shot photo of him wearing his signature red glasses and a towel that’s a bit too low for comfort. After...

Some things you just can't unsee. Fox News contributor Geraldo Rivera took a break from tweeting about the week's biggest news stories early Sunday morning to share a more personal tweet — a nude selfie.

Internet Stunned: Geraldo Rivera Tweets Semi-Nude Photo of Himself (Warning: You Will Not Be Able to Unsee This) Jul. 21, 2013 10:12am Madeleine Morgenstern Fox News host Geraldo Rivera tweeted a jaw-dropping half-nude “selfie” mirror photo early Sunday. “70 is the new 50,” the shirtless Rivera wrote from what appears to be a bathroom, a fluffy white towel or robe positioned very low in front of his hips. “(Erica and family are going to be so pissed…but at my age…)”

On his radio show last week, Geraldo Rivera applauded the Associated Press’ decision to drop the term “illegal immigrant” from its official style guidelines and then decreed that no one should use the phrase any longer, seeing as how he believes it is akin to saying “negro” to describe a black person. “You can never use the expression ‘illegal alien’ again,” the radio host said to his colleague Bill O’Reilly. “It is a pejorative. It’s like saying ‘negro’ or ‘homosexual.’ It is a loaded term that doesn’t accurately describe.” “Why don’t you just give me a list of things I...

Why? Because Mr. Rivera likens it to calling someone a “negro” or a “homosexual.”

March 18, 2012Geraldo Rivera Places Blame Of Trayvon Martin Death On Hoody Watch video ten times, take shot every time Rivera says "gangsta" by John Vinson Here’s a quick breakdown of Geraldo Rivera’s Trayvon Martin segment on the show Fox & Friends: 0:01 – 0:18 – Talking about how George Zimmerman, "the person responsible for gunning down Trayvon Martin should be investigated to the full extent of the law." 0:19 – 2:55 – Goes on an asinine diatribe about how black & latino people shouldn’t wear hoodies, and how white people cross the street when someone of a darker color...

Rivera created a firestorm earlier this week when he argued the hoodie the unarmed teen chose to wear when he was killed in Florida was as much to blame for his death as the man that shot him Even Geraldo Rivera's son is disappointed in his father's controversial remarks about Trayvon Martin. "My own son just wrote to say he's ashamed of my position," the Fox News contributor tweeted on Friday. Rivera created a firestorm earlier this week when he argued the hoodie the unarmed teen chose to wear when he was killed in Florida was as much to blame...

Geraldo contemplating run for Senate By Jonathan Easley - 01/31/13 02:02 PM ET Television personality and radio host Geraldo Rivera announced Thursday he’s “truly contemplating” a run for Senate in New Jersey. “I mention this only briefly, fasten your seatbelt,” Rivera said on his radio show. “I mentioned this only briefly to my wife ... but I am and I’ve been in touch with some people in the Republican Party in New Jersey. I am truly contemplating running for Senate against Frank Lautenberg or Cory Booker.” 
New Jersey Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D), 89, is up for reelection in 2014 but...

I can't believe I am hearing Geraldo (ie. Gerry Rivers) on the Mike Gallagher Show talking about how difficult it was for him to decide NOT to run for NJ Senate. What a puffed up circus barker. The moron even blamed the Koch Brothers.

Geraldo just said, "...my heart bleeds for the Martin family..." Wasn't their Son killed by a shot through his heart???? What a maroon....

Broadcast journalist Geraldo Rivera said on his radio program Thursday that he's been in touch 'with some people in the Republican Party in New Jersey' about a run in 2014.

I'm just trying to get good info on TV and know already what I'd be treated to on the other channels but, I turn on Fox and there's Whorealdo, couching his language that implies Zimm was wrong. Further, he invites Judge Janine Piero and they both go on and on about Stand your Ground and the law needs to be changed because it leads to far too many vagaries and can only result in further unnecessary deaths.

Guns are a sad fact of life in American culture and are a major topic in modern journalism. A good Journalist has a duty to get involved and make a difference in this important societal debate. By following certain guidelines, the concerned Journalist can be assured of having the maximum impact on this shameful problem. The first principle to remember is that subtle use of terminology can covertly influence the reader. Adjectives should be chosen for maximum anti-gun effect. When describing a gun, attach terms like "automatic," "semi-automatic," "large caliber," "deadly," "high powered," or "powerful." Almost any gun can be...
