NBC Fires Matt Lauer

Would we rather Geraldo make up some sappy shit rather than write what he wrote?

It was a flirty business. But it was wrong, and it was a male power grab, and now, the tables have turned, hard.

Better that people hear the perspective and better understand the pathology that has always been there.

 

Up until he says "criminalizing courtship & conflating it w predation". He should know the difference.

 

One NBC note regarding Kelly and her future.

NBC is well known for taking a competitor's key asset, paying for it and letting that person rot under the peacock.

Megyn Kelly is only the latest. Sam champion and Josh Elliott came over from ABC once GMA passed Today.

 

Damn ... wish I’d known “news is a flirty business” back when I was in it. That business reporter (ironic?) on whom I had a life-threatening crush ... maybe I’d have been able to muster the nerve to actually, you know, talk to her.

 

If you know the difference, and I do, who gives a shit if he does? I never had Geraldo Rivera on a pedestal.

Time to squeeze out the pus. If he wants to expose himself as a misogynist, well, he'd already done that many times in his career, and he's done it again.

Again: Show me who you are, and we'll go from there.

 

Like what was in Al Capone's vault?

 

Pithy and well said.

 

Gerry Rivers's rant here is proof that you can actually see Tweets sweat as they try to cover their own author's ass.

 

Hey, maybe Geraldo was joking.



Nahhh.

 

Didn't Geraldo post some quasi-naked picture himself on Twitter or something? I don't want to look it up, but I have this weird black stain in my memory bank that I think his topless frame once occupied. You post stuff like that for public consumption, God knows what you might send privately.

 

I seem to recall him making supportive statements of a similar nature when Ailes was forced out.
