It appears that the number of cameras around him shamed him out of running away.

Listen up media or get out. All the selling of lies for profit needs to end. If the media had been there reporting th truth in the first place, people might trust them. More of this please. I would have done the same thing to him.

I'm so happy that this young man gave him some truth right to his face. Mr. Macho looked very uncomfortable didn't he.

Ugh. Puke. Lets see how he spins this story - well actually I'll never see it because we have a rule in my household, we do NOT put any of the televisions on the "F" channel. I don't even want to give them the demographics of watching a sitcom.

"I had an important story to tell standing there. It’s exactly that kind of youthful anarchy that led to the destruction and pain in that community.”

Geraldo is just exploiting the story, trying to make it all about him, and giving fodder to the racist Faux Channel.

His smug demeanour, with his 'someone remove this rude peasant out of my face' look reeks of what he is. A damn shill.

Thanks for bring that piece to the thread.

reporting on the death of all the American cities because if there was there would be such an outrage and hopefully a banding together of the citizens that the ptb would either start treating Americans like they are Americans or the ptb would flee.

I do believe they fled already.

That young man had great words. Kudos to him.

The story that really brought Rivera fame was his expose on how poorly people were treated in asylum's, particularly the youth. It's a shame he's now on Fox Newz towing their party line.

Geraldo Rivera has been one of the more revolting things on teevee for the last forty years. He has had a legacy of trivializing important issues since his days at ABC. As a host of an afternoon talk show, he ranked with some of his best known competitors, like Jerry Springer and Ricki Lake. Now he's found a home on FoxNews.

And the guy was so articulate, stayed on point, and had the power of his conviction.+

hoping that the social media catches of these interactions (where Geraldo seems to have no response) out play the number of views per his fox broadcast.
