Geraldo Rivera Can't Read
As if getting caught in a number of lies about his on-location reporting weren't enough to discredit him, American television viewers got to see for themselves today that Fox News star Geraldo Rivera simply cannot read.
On today's edition of the FNC program DaySide, Rivera went on a tirade against the New York Times. Rivera complained that the Times coverage of injuries sustained by ABC News Anchorman Bob Woodruff called Woodruff's actions a "ratings stunt." Rivera said that the Times should be "embarrassed" for calling Woodruff's coverage a "ratings stunt."
Unfortunately for Rivera, nowhere in the Times article he sites appear the words "ratings stunt."
The Times published a front-page story about Woodruff's injuries and the circumstances of his career and the TV news business that lead up to them. It's that front page store that Rivera is so upset about. The only item even potentially critical of Woodruff's activities was an opinion piece in the Times Arts section.
Fox News...we get pissed off over something that didn't happen...you get lied to.
