Who knew? Geraldo Rivera has some foreign policy cred. He just gave

[Surya Gayatri]

a cogent and valid analysis of the situation in the Mideast. (Fox and Friends--FoxNews).

Color me pleasantly surprised. He put that blowhard Eric Bolling back in his cage.

1. I think Rivera actually started his career as a "real" reporter

then he went downhill from there.

[Surya Gayatri]

2. Well, he just destroyed Gretchen Carlson, Bolling and that meat-head Brian Kilmeade/

[HockeyMom]

3. Yes, he was a reporter for a local news

station in NYC back in the 70s.

4. He did some really great things back then

I wonder what happened to him.

[HockeyMom]

5. His exposing the horrors at Willowbrook

changed how we treat the delopmentally disabled. 40 years later they still show his film to everyone who works in this field.

[Marrah_G]

6. I saw a documentary on that

I really admired THAT Geraldo

7. Al Capone's Empty Vault.

[HockeyMom]

8. Yep, that was a disaster but,

that was after the Willowbrook report. I guess he thought he could trump his other report? lol

[JHB]

10. Basically he thought there was more money in going tabloid...

...and the rest is a footnote to history.

[HockeyMom]

12. You are right about this

His credibility as a legit reporter went downhill after Capone's Vault. After all, look where he is today? Faux News.

[JHB]

9. Meh. Roger Ailes will have Bolling back out whenever he wants.

11. The asshat was kicked out of Iraq for broadcasting troop movements!

[jsr]

13. So he did get close enough to 'hear the shots'

[cynatnite]

14. He deserved to get the shit scared out of him for giving away troop movements. n/t

[Surya Gayatri]

15. Interesting! I didn't know that...no journalistic integrity, obviously.
