Angry granny or big politicians--everyone is chatting with Geraldo

Watching Geraldo Rivera on the Radio--The Callers Love Geraldo


The people love Geraldo........

Listening to the radio all day....most of the day or watching the news.

Right, one must have distraction to do the dishes.

Never heard anything like it....is this just Geraldo or is it New York?

San Diego girl forever--we do not have this on our talk radio in SD.

The callers tell Geraldo what is on their mind....with gusto.

They have an enthusiasm....well, it is not on any other channel or radio station.

Geraldo can take it..........

Somehow, Geraldo can let the people get it off their chest....they're happy, he's happy and that's it!

There is no anger or resentment carried over.  Geraldo is not a mad man.....I guess he can take a disagreement without feeling personally offended.

Everyone talks to Geraldo.......

Some are very frustrated about the bridge--not hearing that degree of annoyance from the actual citizens who drive the thing every day on other outlets.  Geraldo says he spends 26 dollars a day just to cross it twice.  Our Coronado Bridge is free.  It must be very expensive to live in New York.

It was Howard Kurtz.....he said he really likes Fox and CNN, but Fox is smaller and he gets to do what he wants.

We got to hear the take of Alan Dershowitz on bridge-o-rama--another shoe may drop.

Ari Fleischer gave his input on the Robert Gates revs--no, he would not have talked.

Haley Barbour in full support of Chris Christie......

And the streaming was perfect on my chromebook--the streaming has improved every day.

Angry granny or big politicians--everyone is chatting with Geraldo.

So just click on Geraldo at the top of the page and then video streaming.......WABC New York

chromebook--just put in W and the whole thing comes up---if you go there everyday.

Hey Boys, Mrs. Sarah Palin is Talking Now!

While my politics are opposite of Ms. Palin I support her right to say her opinion in the media just like all of the big mouth men.  Bill, Martin and Chris Matthews are so busy congratulating themselves on their own intellect they fail to realize that Sarah has out smarted them all.  She is a media manager to rival the likes of Princess Diana.  Guess what, boys, you are busy groveling after her and asking for her attention.  Who is in the media now.  Oh, and don't forget the biggest fool of all, Bill Maher.

Talking about Bill O'Reilly complaining to Howie Kurtz that Mrs. Palin will not do his show.....

Chris Matthews, holier than thou, can't get the guts to answer.......

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews weighs in on Martin Bashir fiasco. Sort of.

• BY ERIK WEMPLE

Martin Bashir, in 2007 (Nick Ut/Associated Press)

Put Chris Matthews before a Washington audience, and the guy can riff on a lot of topics. In an appearance yesterday at Barnes & Noble in downtown D.C. to promote his book “Tip and the Gipper: When Politics Worked,” Matthews talked congressional elections, presidential elections, President Kennedy — not to mention the media. On the topic of Fox News and Rupert Murdoch, the cable host said no one really takes too seriously the “fair and balanced” slogan. However: “They believe it’s balancing the rest of the media. And so there’s a sense among the right — it’s still there — if you’re not on the right, you’re a liberal. So if you look like you’re just sort of reading the news, you’re a liberal, unless you['ve] got their attitude. And so, I think that’s the residue of years and years of liberal domination of the mainstream press, which I think is pretty near an end. … I don’t know where Diane Sawyer’s politics are. I don’t know what Brian Williams’s politics are. Or Scott Pelley’s, if he has any. I don’t know what it is. Tell me if you can tell. I can’t tell. I think [George] Stephanopoulos has played it down the middle.”

Moments later, the Erik Wemple Blog* asked Matthews about this week’s MSNBC-centric media news. Martin Bashir, an afternoon host at MSNBC, apologized on Monday to viewers after having suggested that Sarah Palin be subjected to a cruel treatment once forced upon slaves. Palin had previously compared the burdens of public debt to slavery.

The contrite words of Bashir didn’t diminish calls within the media-critic industry for more accountability from MSNBC’s leadership. So we thought we’d ask Matthews about it all. The back and forth:

EWB: Do you have any comments about the trouble that Martin Bashir got himself in?

Matthews: Not really. I work in that company. I don’t have any comment on it. I can understand that you’d ask the question, but I work for MSNBC.

EWB: Well, it’s just a question, though. I mean, he’s a colleague, he said something. You have opinions. You’d have an opinion if someone else worked at another network…

Matthews: I’m not a media critic.

EWB: Oh, yes you are.

Matthews: No, I’m not…He’s a colleague of mine.

We’ll keep an eye out for the next time Matthews hammers some cowardly politician for closing ranks. The noteworthy aspect of Matthews’ dodge is how unnecessary it is. He could easily proclaim that his colleague’s remarks were wholly unacceptable — that they were neither accurate nor fair. Those were the very terms, after all, that Bashir himself used in his apology.

*(Though we didn’t disclose our affiliation with the Erik Wemple Blog, Matthews was speaking at a public event.)

Fox News’s Bill O’Reilly clobbered by Carl Bernstein in faceoff on GOP

• BY ERIK WEMPLE

• October 18 at 12:24 pm

Bill O’Reilly (Frank Micelotta/Invsion/Associated Press)

A word of advice to anyone who ever gets invited onto “The O’Reilly Factor” to serve as chum for the show’s name partner. It shows Carl Bernstein, of Washington Post-Watergate fame, demonstrating precisely how to disarm the domineering Bill O’Reilly. As the segment makes clear, Bernstein’s invitation to “The Factor” stemmed from edgy comments he made on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” In hammering the GOP for its tactics on the government shutdown, Bernstein said that the party had “become a rabid organization from the top down. The leadership, it’s cancerous. We have to go back to the party — to the Democratic Party of segregation to find this kind of scorched-earth politics putting the national interests nowhere and putting ideology and ideology above all else.”

Just the sort of stuff that interests the staff of “The Factor.”

O’Reilly ran the “Morning Joe” clip and then told Bernstein he thought those remarks were “unfair.” “I think that was a little bit unfair because the Republican Party is so all over the place on this. There isn’t a consensus in it. I thought you demonized the party unfairly there,” said O’Reilly.

Then the host thus began his prosecution — and Bernstein refused to allow it to proceed. See, O’Reilly’s trick in these clashes is to insist that the debate follow his own agenda, his own touchstones. So he interrupts his opponent and makes them address issues that he stipulates, regardless of whether those issues bear on the larger points. Here’s how Bernstein beat back O’Reilly’s initial effort to steer things his way:

BERNSTEIN: Well, let’s go back to what I said about ideology, which is exactly the same thing you said at the top of the show almost word for word — about ideology becoming secondary to facts and to the national interests. I could have quoted Bill O’Reilly.
I used the example of segregation and the horrible example of the Democratic Party and the appeasement by others in the Democratic Party in the early 50s of the segregationists, the same way the leadership of the Republican Party has appeased this know-nothing fashion that has brought on this –

O’REILLY: All right. But — I think we get your point.

BERNSTEIN: Let me finish, Bill. No, no let me finish. I’m talking about the leadership, meaning Eric Cantor, Boehner who went along with this craziness for a while, McConnell who didn’t say to his party “Stop this. This is hurting the country.” That is rabid leadership. This is what McCarthyism was also about.

Bernstein wasn’t going to get bullied. Resisting O’Reilly’s first attempt to hijack the discussion is critical, because once he has a toehold — once he is pushing his points — it’s impossible to rewind the whole enterprise and recover. The host is just too insistent. Here, Bernstein continues protesting, demanding at one point, “let’s stop here.” Those ploys allow him to battle O’Reilly on somewhat equal turf. The glory of it all is that the segment is pleasant, enlightening and worthy of “The O’Reilly Factor’s” stratospheric ratings. No finger-jabbing whatsoever.

Watch the exchange here.

Religion According To Bill O'Reilly........

Religion according to Bill O'Reilly....

Sorry, Bill, Jesus likes me, too--a liberal and pro-choice.

Bill's rules apply to everyone but him, as in his interpretation of "the facts," as well.  His book has been criticized by religious scholars for not being factual or cherry picking certain items to make his point.

This is what I would like to know.....who are "the folks" that Bill claims he is looking out for as he stated in a recent interview....."I am the only one looking out for the folks."  Does he not think the folks want health care?  And here is his biggest disconnect of all.....does he not realize "the folks" elected President Obama?

It's Bill's way or the highway.....apparently this applies to everything from religious interpretation, the voting population of the United States and Howie Kurtz.

Go Howie!............

Howie Kurtz and James Carville taking Bill O'Reilly to task are the best reason to watch Fox News and The Factor.  It's a no spin zone unless it's Bill doing the spinning himself.

Bill O'Reilly Attacks 'Killing Jesus' Critics Who 'Despise Religion'

POSTED BY PRISCILLA 25.20PC ON OCTOBER 16, 2013 · FLAG

Bill O'Reilly once advised the folks to ignore their "enemies." But Bill's inability to follow his own advice or, dare we say, hypocrisy, was shown by last night's O'Reilly screed in which he savaged those who do not believe that the divinely inspired "Killing Jesus" is the most awesome book evah. The devoutly Catholic O'Reilly framed his discussion around how the evil, librul media and "the left" despise religion - a popular victim card played by those who claim that it's the poor who play the victim. But the discussion was really all about poor Bill as it soon morphed into O'Reilly's patented baseless attacks on those who, I guess, are Bill's "enemies" because they dare to deride his faith (of which he is such a stellar example). Howard Kurtz tried to add some reason to the discussion; but as is true in life writ large, those who are "faith based" can be quite unreasonable!
Bill opened up by stating, as O'Reilly fact, that the "media is continuing to demean religion, been happening for years." He played video in which MSNBC Luke Russert spoke to a Christian Broadcasting Network host about how religion is given snarky treatment by the media. O'Reilly presented a "perfect example" of the snark when he quoted the USA Today book critic, Bob Minzesheimer (Don't know if he's Jewish but if he is, he's probably getting anti-Semitic e-mails!), who merely pointed out the fact that after O'Reilly told 60 Minutes that he was inspired by the Holy Spirit, his book went from number two to number one. O'Reilly also read Minzesheimer's factual comment that O'Reilly "panned" his critics. (He was also critical of the book but O'Reilly didn't mention that.)
Howard Kurtz agreed with Russert that there is a "condescension," in the media towards religion; but that it's based on lack of understanding rather than malicious intent. He also cited how there is a "cultural divide" because the urban media tend to be secular. Bill wanted to know why these secular people want to "demean" those who believe. Kurtz responded that there might be a "lack of understanding."
Bill then pulled a fact straight out his ass: "The Catholic Church scandal was met with glee in much of the liberal press" who "used it as a hammer." He asserted that the "columnists went wild" and that he could provide examples of this "all day long." Rather than actually provide examples, he named former Huffington Post columnist Larry Doyle, Bill Maher who is a COMEDIAN, Joan Walsh (who challenged O'Reilly on his Tiller attacks), "a bunch of gay activists, a bunch of abortion people all day long just hammering everybody in the Catholic Church is an idiot, all the priests are perverts, you know what happened..." Kurtz defended Boston Globe reporters and cited how NBC did a popular bible series. When Kurtz mentioned the glowing publicity received by the new Pope, Bill whined that Pope Benedict didn't get the same treatment and the only reason that Pope Francis gets good treatment is because he's perceived as liberal.
Pope Bill pontificated that "the left is against religion (Hmmm, Sister Simone Campbell is a "leftist" and she's a Catholic nun!) because religion opposes things like gay marriage  and abortion, that's what it's all about." This is another O'Reilly ass fact because liberal Protestant denominations and non-Orthodox Jews support abortion and gay marriage.
Bill launched into poor me mode with another baseless and narcissistic ass fact about how "the secular national media doesn't want anybody to buy this book." (Hey, Bill, I don't think they really care about your book or who buys it) He whined that "very few have even mentioned it." (Awww)  Bill's overly inflated ego was on hand with the comment that "this is by far and away the best selling book in the world."  When Kurtz noted that O'Reilly got publicity from CBS, O'Reilly said that 60 Minutes is "reportage."
Theologian Bill bloviated that his statement about the Holy Ghost is "what every Christian believes if he or she is a Christian and that was used to attack me." Kurtz countered that the comment gave him more exposure and more book sales. Bill wanted to know why he was attacked over this "expression of what every Christian believes." When Kurtz tried to answer, Bill overtalked him: "All Christians are inspired by God to do things." He added that these evil doer are "playing to their crew" who "despise religion and any expression of it." He cited the "USA" reviewer who is playing to his "anti-religion crew." He accused the national media of being "a little pack" who "all think the same." (Kinda like Fox viewers?)
If Bill O'Reilly did a good "examination of conscience" he might realize that these "attacks" are merely reflections on how Bill's oft proclaimed Christianity is contradicted by his own not very Christian personal and baseless attacks such as this latest screed and critic "panning." Just saying....
