Severe fighting in Iraq.......by the news channels.

[Tmy]

The media is getting nasty. WITH EACH OTHER!!! I guess Geraldo is still in Iraq and the story about him being tossed was a lie by a rival station.

Im getting sick of the media covering stories about themsleves. Or targeting other media outlets. Foxnews comes to mind. They feel the need to point out other networks who are not being patriotic. I think the Geraldo thing was a counterattack after the Arnette offensive. Put on your gas mask cause the shiznit it flying.

Geraldo's denying it like mad, but I'm betting that the DoD gets the last word. :D

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Veteran reporter and former talk show host Geraldo Rivera, a correspondent for Fox News, was asked to be removed from Iraq (news - web sites) by the U.S. military for reporting Western troop movements in the war, the Pentagon (news - web sites) said on Monday.

But in a report from Iraq where he was about 60 miles from Baghdad with the 101st Airborne Division, Rivera, known for his provocative on-screen style, said all was well and suggested he wasn't being ejected from the country by the U.S. military for coverage of the war.

Defense Department spokesman Bryan Whitman later told Reuters, however, that Fox News itself had agreed to remove Rivera after the military commander where Rivera was reporting felt that he had "compromised operational security."

"If you were to ask me on whether or not he had reported on things that were of tactical value and compromised operational security, I would have to say yes. In the eyes of the commander on the ground, he did," Whitman told Reuters.

"I would say that he is going to be leaving Iraq," added Whitman. "Fox has talked to us and they have indicated to us that they are going to remove him from the area of operations."

Whitman, who had earlier said the military was ejecting Rivera, later amended that to Fox agreeing to withdraw the correspondent.

Never could stand that pr!ck.

That was the worst part of the O.J Simpson trial, having to agree with him about it.

Oh . . . Gerry Rivers. He's just trying to shake off that AL Capone flop.

In a parade of fakes, he would be the grand marshal.

Was watching the Oreilly Factor just now and he said that Geraldo drew a map of Iraq in the sand and drew whatever it is he got in trouble for, which Geraldo says had all already been reported. Who knows.
