Geraldo Cries Again On National TV – He's Been Broken
2023-07-19
[Republic Brief] Geraldo Rivera left Fox News in 2016 after working there for two decades. Geraldo is currently on a "media tour" and has been complaining about the events that he alleges led to his termination from "The Five," which led him to leave the network.

Rivera complained to NewsNation presenter Chris Cuomo, telling him that his fights with well-liked FOX personality Greg Gutfeld were the primary cause of his termination from "The Five."

"Fox left me. They fired me from the number one rated show ’The Five.’ After they fired me, I said, ’Well, wait a second. You know, I don’t want to work here anymore.’ If you are firing me from the number one show, what are you going to do?" Rivera said. "After they fired me, they gave me a plethora of options, other programs I could do ... but I said, ’No, I don’t want to do that.’"

#6  He implies he was a part of the #1 show. In fact he was an occasional guest who had little to do with ratings.

He was was traveling with the 101st Airborne Division of the U.S. Army as a war correspondent when he knelt down into the sand on live TV and drew a map of an upcoming operation.

#3  What ha Geraldo been successful at? Anyone else remember Al Capones vault?

#2  He doesn’t list the other options they offered him. Hopefully, Geraldo will take his drama to Broadway. Maybe a musical version of the life of Che. Alternately, someone could put together a podcast competitor for The Five comprised of the most annoying people that have been recently fired. If ESPN keeps chopping, it may have to be eight people, though.

#1  After they fired me, they gave me a plethora of pinatas

Forgive me, El Guapo. I know that I, Kansas, do not have your superior intellect and education. But could it be that once again, you are angry at something else, and are looking to take it out on me?
