Just caught a blurb while flipping channels where Grealdo promises to reveal the truth behind the 9-11 conspiracy theories on Mondays "Geraldo at Large"

What slant will he take? I have a feeling it will portray the CT's favorably, hopefully I'm wrong.

The story following the blurb was about Princess Di that ended with a comment on the popular belief that she was murdered and how we may never know for sure because the medical examiner doing the investigation has resigned.

Geraldo's on FOX these days and is buddy-buddy with Bill O'Rielly... at least it appeared that way when O'Rielly had him on tonights show.

I'm betting he made that throw away line just to spur interest in his show. If Air America would fire one conspiracist froot loop for his inane rantings, FOX would fire Geraldo and then kick his dog for going off the deep end.

That and FOX never has the nutters on except to do a Michelle Malkin on them (who also frequently guests on O'Reilly).

My money says Geraldo will lower the boom on the tinfoilers.

Maybe Dylan will come on and reveal how he made Loose Change as a deliberate hoax. He just wanted to test the gullibility of the American public.
If that is the case I don't like his chances of escaping the Nazis. They hate being ridiculed.

Although I think it is more likely to be a throwaway teaser line from Geraldo.

More than a throwaway line, it even had graphics.

Are we talking about a ten of fifteen second teaser or a sixty second Promo?
Either way they are just there to hook viewers.
Throwaway is just my word for such things.

One night on Rivera Live, the show he had on CNBC, in reference to nothing, Geraldo looked at the camera, shook his head and said (paraphrase), "Lee Harvey Oswald killed President Kennedy from behind. from the Texas School Book Depository. There was no conspiracy." I almost fell out of my chair, but then the next week, he told viewers that he was leaving that show because he has to be where the action is. Fox News made him a Foreign Correspondent. He was heading for Afghanistan for more glory and more money. I think he's a CIA media asset.

I think he's a retard. Even before the big Capone Empty Vault fiasco. I think Get Fuzzy had it best when they called him a Muppet.

If he works for the CIA, I would hardly call him an "asset"

TV is a business.

The empty Capone Vault?

Highest rated thing he ever did. HUGE ratings! Ratings = $$$. People think that show was a joke. It was a success.

Nothing there? There is nothing there on a lot of TV shows. People even watch the reruns of Joe Millionaire, even when they know how it turns out.

Geraldo is Jewish, and has a Star of David tattooed on his hand. When he interviews Palestinians, he puts a Band-Aid over it.

You know what he never gets credit for? His Doping of America special basically launched and defined the "war on drugs" as we know it. That one hour of terrible inane TV was probably one of the most influential shows in the history of the medium.

Was that the one in the 80's, where he busts dealers? That one has my fave Rivera moment. A guy keeps asking him to take his shades off, cuz the dealer thinks GR looks like GR. They do the deal and bust him. All the while, in the background all you hear is," I thought you looked like Geraldo man" over , and over!

Priceless!

Hey, there's just no topping Geraldos "Color-blind Transvestite Klansmen and the Women Who Love Them" as one of the great classics of modern media.

Mrs. Klukker: "I try to help him, get him to change his ways... [sniffles]... but everytime he puts on the white robe and hood and the swastika armband to go out... [sobs]... he just refuses to understand that a neon green vinyl purse and hot pink pumps don't go with that outfit!"

What amazed me was that people bought the repeat on Pay Per View after it was already public knowlege the vault was empty.
