Do we have PROOF that Geraldo staged that resuce of elderly lady?

[bribri16]

I think this is important to get to the BBC! They will report it.

[goclark]

1. I'm wondering if we should leave him alone on this one

Help me out, fake or not fake, didn't it bring attention to the problem in NO?

I thought that was a good thing and I am no Geraldo fan.

[mirandapriestly]

3. I agree, focus on Bush and his fake Photo Ops nt

[Obamarama]

6. We rant about responsible journalism and you have the nerve to suggest ...

That we give a jounralist a pass who has MANUFACTURED something because it will look good for the cameras because you think it will benefit us by making Bush look bad?

Deceit is deceit, and it has no place in responsible journalism.

Shame on you.

12. Yea but isn't Geraldo dreamy? n/t

[Botany]

2. Get in touch with Keith Obermann

Viewer services ....... Go to DU groups ..... click on media politics .....

show

watch out flying estrogen.

4. Keith Oberman made "Geraldo" his

worst person of the day award because of just that story..I was hysterical laughing when Keith said {regarding Rivera},"is she back
again?" She was just here we cleared her for evacuation before but the "Take" wasn't good enough so Geraldo re shot the rescue of an elderly white women...
Imagine being rescued brought to an evacuation center on camera and then asked to go back outside so we can get a better shot on camera.
Maybe Geraldo's hairdo wasn't in order but Keith Oberman did make Rivera the"Worst Person of the Day" award...

5. The problem with Geraldo is that he's always been a glory hound

so even if he wasn't this time his past behavior almost always paints him as an opportunist.

7. It could have been BOTH staged and real.

Finding somebody to rescue was not that hard there a few days ago.

[NNN0LHI]

13. He "rescued" the same woman and her dog TWICE for the cameras

So it can't be both staged and real.

14. Hmmm...

That would make it impossible.

[RaleighNCDUer]

8. The fact that he delayed the rescue to get a second take

does not negate his actually rescuing the lady.

I'll give him a break on this one.

[Fuzz]

9. I do not give him a break on this

He is a grandstanding whore of the worst sort. I don't care if he has an opinion or two that MIGHT be in tune with mine. I don't care if he did bring attention where it was needed, that's supposed to be his damn job as a 'journalist'. He is nothing but a self-promoter and loudmouth who looks for sensationalism and creates it if he can't find it.

[leftylady]

10. This is Geraldo we are talking about. What do you think?

[seabeyond]

11. bush has staged two events that we know of

probably all of them. one is the first visit, brought in food and water and helicopter. took picture. gathered all the stuff up and went away

another is calling in 50 firemen to walk with him
