Fox News ‘continuing to monitor’ Geraldo’s ‘situation’

Feb. 4, 2013 1:56pm Eddie Scarry

There’s a “situation” at Fox News. It’s from New Jersey, tan and sometimes shirtless.

Geraldo Rivera said on his radio program last week that he might run for U.S. Senate as a Republican in his home state of New Jersey. As these things go at Fox (see Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, Sarah Palin), they’re keeping an eye on Rivera because if he runs, they’ll have to cut him loose from the payroll.

From the New York Times:

Asked whether Mr. Rivera would have to quit or suspend the show if he decided to run, a spokesman for the distributor said, “Talk radio hosts talk about lots of things, and if at some point this is more than talk we’ll address the issue appropriately then.”

A Fox News spokeswoman went a little further, saying in an e-mail message, “Geraldo would have to step aside as soon as he made a formal decision, and we’re continuing to monitor the situation.”

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

Who cares what Geraldo does? He should just stick with doing exclusives when somebody dies and hurricane coverage.

Geraldo? Geraldo who wanted to spit on Michelle Malkin for she Dared to disagree with his Magnificence? Clowns such as Geraldo are why I can no longer watch Fox News.

The talking heads guarding the inhabitants of Bullsh*t Mountain from rejoining the world of the sane only serve their own warped ideology. Fox News is a propaganda machine which dumbs down America by the day through disinformation and their slanted agendas. See their anchors spewing forth feces from their mouths in my visual homage to the network on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-fox-news-scylla-guardian-of-bullsht.html

If he does decide to run he’ll give a heart rendering farewell speech on his show. As if someone cares.
