Geraldo Slams GOP (and Fox News?)
‘Bloodlust’ On Benghazi: ‘Life
Is Not An Action Movie’

Mediaite, by Josh Feldman

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 11/1/2012 11:49:27 AM

Geraldo Rivera is bucking the Fox News trend on criticizing the Obama administration’s handling of the death of four Americans at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and is criticizing the criticism. Fox News has been keeping focus on the story, and some of the network’s personalities have taken to criticize the media for ignoring the story. Rivera rebutted the criticism, arguing that it is a “cruel myth” to suggest the deaths of the four Americans killed might have been prevented, and said, “Life is not an action movie.”

Comments:
He should be fired. He doesn't belong on Fox News. Let him go over to MessNBC where he will fit in perfectly. Life is not an action movie?? What an irony he should say this since he is the one who always inserted himself into the action in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Well, that's a big surprise. Here's another surprise: Juan Williams thinks the rest of the Fox News people are crazy too. So does Bob Beckel. Who'da thunk?!

Odd, it isn't like Geraldo to miss the point of something entirely.

The "Fox News trend". What a crock.
WHERE are the other media outlets on this?
WHY is Fox the only one even looking into this?
Rivera is and always has been a self-promoting gasbag, so who really CARES what his opinion is?
Where's that reporter from Denver who hit such a raw nerve with Obama? He's a rarity, and he puts the rest of the national media to shame, and exposes them for what they truly are: Leftist propagandists. It's not just WHAT the Leftist media report, it's often what they don't report, and this Benghazi matter is just one case of it.

One more thought:

Forget the comparison to Watergate - they are as incomparable as bicycles and hamsters.

Rather, compare the media storm over Abu Graibh and Benghazi. THERE's the story: the media double standard.

Obama's abuse and coverup on Benghazi is treason at it's worst, and a high crime/misdemeanor at it's best.
Either of these fit the criteria for impeachment.

Saw Jerry Rivers on Fox the other night and his whole thing is that no military could have helped the Navy Seals.

Gee... ya think that if the White House and the State Department hadn't decided no to allow more forces there to protect the men...that they would have died.

This is much more than just the fact that the phone calls seeking help were denied. It also has to do with the weeks and months before the attack itself.

See Braveheart...the scene where William Wallace waves the flag in battle while looking at the clansmen on horseback..and waiting for them to aid him in battle...only to have them turn their horses and slowly leave him and his men.

The look on his face was the look on the faces of our Navy Seals as our government..the most powerful in the world..turned its back on them.

Leave no man behind... is just an Obama campaign slogan for a storm. It has nothing to do with our military.

And guess what? The United States military and their families know that Obama and his leftist cronies will leave the military behind.

Gee, Geraldo is in LUV with obama! Surprise, surprise! If FNC had ANY integrity, and they don't, they would send this bottom-feeder back to messnbc ( even they fired him) and let him rail with the rest of the obama-punks over there! And THIS, after giving a big wet kiss to Charles Woods, on camera, whose son was murdered by the feckless-obama administration! Sickening!

If our military had zeroed in on that laser-pointed gun and had blown it up, the Muslim fanatics would have scattered like frightened rats. The fanatics are very brave when then think they have the upper hand, but cry like babies who've wet their diapers when they are confrotned with superior strength.

That's why they switch sides so often. They are cowards who value self-preservation over any doctrine.

Fox, and television in general, is not for those who are serious about gaining an understanding of world events. The best you can say about Fox is that they are not as bad as CNN, CBS, NBC, etc.

The Left are circling the wagons around the Obama administration regarding Benghazi, and the only "attacking marauders" are Fox News and Issa. Jerry Rivers and Juan Williams are Fox's "token" Progressive/Socialists (Bekel is there for "s--ts & giggles". If you ever get the opportunity, ask Jerry Rivers how he inserted himself into the Oklahoma Federal Building bombing and the result. The guys a total facade.

I don't know why Roger Ailes hired Geraldo in the first place. He is anything but a newsman and would do better selling toasters on QVC.

I love being lectured to by this man. In fact I would love to meet him face to face so he could 'school' me about the real world. TV, FOX, and the media in general test my gag reflex on a daily basis, but a big thank you to all the rich people on the right who couldn't figure out how to counter the wall to wall leftist media for the past 40 years. They would have made a lot of money and maybe educated some of the almost 50% 'low information' voters who are owned by pukes like Jerry Rivers.

I rarely express an opinion until I learn from Geraldo Rivera how a story has affected him personally. /s

Clearly the last names of the players in this story shaped his feelings. If the SEALS had been Rodriguez, Tamale, and Piñata instead of Woods and other gringo names (and of course if Bush was POTUS), Geraldo would be so hot that his moustache wax would've melted and he'd be sporting a droopy Pancho Villa.

Jerry Rivers should be careful. He only has a couple hrs a week on FOX. Most ppl I know change the channel when he comes on. He's as unnecessary as wings on a pig. Give Catherine Herridge her own show instead. THAT would be a must see!

Geraldo is one of the prominent Democrat Party moles working at Fox News. Others include Alan Colmes, Bob Beckel and Juan Williams. I know that they're there to provide proof of the "fair and balanced" meme, but with their incessant left-wing partisan ship, I wonder how long it will be before they go the way of Sally Cohn (another obnoxious Dem plant, who seems to have disappeared from the airways).

Fast forward the DVR or change the channel when Jerry Rivers shows his face on Fox. I have no desire to listen to anything he has to say about anything. Same with Juan Williams and Bob Beckel. They add nothing to any serious discussion.

A most excellent suggestion # 22, Catherine Herridge is a true journalist in every traditional sense of the word. Fox will dump the loud mouth egotist Rivers, and give Catherine Herridge her own show and way more time, if Fox wants to put more distance between themselves and the LSM with American people.

If Obama/Clinton really cared about the ambassador and the Navy Seals they would have pulled them out of Benghazi in August when they were asking for help the first time. Obama is a liar and a coward, and Geraldo, you aren't any better with your bluster and bravado. You can't hold a candle to C. Herridge and Jennifer Griffen, or Judy Miller. They're strong women and they're doing a job you cant even begin to understand.

I believe that at one time Catherine Herridge thought she would be part of a Fox program. I think she did some on air time, but they felt she was not as warm (and blonde) as others. As I recollect, she sued Fox for discrimination and won, but also kept her job. Anyone else remember this?

We now know that the Justice Department kept exceptionally close tabs on Fox News reporter James Rosen in 2010, following his trips in and out of the State Department, hacking his personal emails and phone calls. Normal newsgathering activities are being treated as criminal activities by the White House. But consider what the same White House had to say about Fox News back in 2009. You might remember the concerted effort by White House officials to brand the right-leaning Fox News as a bogus news outlet, unworthy of attention.

Huma Abedin, former Secretary of State Hillary’s Clinton’s long time aide with extensive ties to Muslim Brotherhood groups, was granted an arrangement by the State Department to do outside consulting work, even as she remained a top advisor in the Department. Abedin did not disclose either the arrangement, or how much she earned from it, on her financial report, despite a requirement that public officials must disclose significant sources of income. Clinton advisor Philippe Reines contended she was under no obligation to do so. Abedin, who has served Clinton for 15 years, became a “special government employee”

A federal judge in Washington ruled in 2010 that the Justice Department was not required by law to notify Fox reporter James Rosen that prosecutors had obtained his emails in connection with an investigation into a leak about North Korean plans to test a nuclear weapon. In September 2010, Chief U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth overruled the conclusion of federal magistrate John Facciola that Rosen—whose Gmail account was searched—was entitled by law to be informed. Prosecutors contended that under the statute used to get Rosen´s emails, the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, they were not

"Leaks of classified information to the press can pose a serious risk of harm to our national security and it is important that we pursue these matters using appropriate law enforcement tools. Such investigations and prosecutions, including this particular case, follow all applicable laws, regulations, and longstanding Department of Justice policies intended to safeguard the First Amendment interests of the press in reporting the news and the public in receiving it."

Michelle Malkin joined Megyn Kelly on Fox News Monday afternoon to discuss the latest developments in the investigation into the IRS targeting conservatives for audits. Malkin insisted it was not merely her “ideology” that has led to critique the Obama administration on their handling of the IRS issue and others, but rather the evidence she’s seen of their “bully brigade tactics” to “intimidate and criminalize their political opponents.” Malkin began by going after White House Press Secretary Jay Carney for his handling of the various Obama “scandals,” saying the “clown Carney press briefings have turned in

The Justice Department, already under fire for seizing AP phone records, also viewed e-mails of Fox News chief Washington correspondent James Rosen, calling him a criminal ´co-conspirator´ for his reporting. Fox News´ executive vice president of news, Michael Clemente, released a statement defending Rosen. The statement issued Monday afternoon is below: "We are outraged to learn today that James Rosen was named a criminal co-conspirator for simply doing his job as a reporter," Clemente said.

As head of the FBI counterterrorism division, Steinbach oversaw the investigation into the mass murder at Texas Army base. Steinbach made this claim during an unclassified counterterrorism briefing on Capitol Hill. “Do you guys teach your agents that Fort Hood was workplace violence?” one staffer asked.

The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript
