Geraldo Rivera Saves Nastiest Barb For Rachel Maddow In Blasting NBC's McDaniel Firing [View all]

At one time, Geraldo Rivera was a very good and honest journalist. I noticed him one day in New York City on the Avenue of the Americas(6th) during the summer of 1973, interviewing people for an upcoming segment for Good Night America that ran on ABC on Friday nights. Over the years since the emergence of FOX News, he had hardened. Gone was the truth. Now, he is but a bitter man who bought into the BIG LIE. Perhaps Geraldo is unable to handle the truth that Rachel Maddow is more the Journalist he had aspired to be.

NewsNation correspondent Geraldo Rivera blasted NBC’s “cabal of aging” hosts for instigating the network’s firing of Ronna McDaniel, but he saved his most pointed remarks for Rachel Maddow of MSNBC.

After McDaniel, the former Republican National Committee chair, was dismissed on Tuesday, Rivera zeroed in on Maddow, whose nearly 30-minute on-air objection to the original hiring grabbed headlines. Maddow likened her employer’s move to hiring a “mobster to work at the DA’s office.”
