Very True…Geraldo works both sides of an issue…he used to be good…now…not so fast!

As I heard from a credible guest with common sense(amazing) on the John King show moments ago, “Thank goodness the MOB mentality did not win today”.. Say what you want, The Jurors weighed the evidence and could not convict.

Not guilty does not mean innocent, it means someone did not do their homework.

black,brown,red or white…you got to do the homework.

ow, to dig O’Really out of the mob….

There would be no story of national interest if it involved hispanic immigrants, unless, you know…………

“if Casey Anthony were a young black woman with a black two-year-old, no network would give this story ten minutes,” condemning the national media’s ability to be “incredibly shallow.” Bernie impressed me here. So true.

What about a Jewish immigrant?

What is Bernie Goldberg’s definition of a “Hispanic Immigrant’?

“Hispanic Immigrant’ is at this point a loaded word.

bad call there bernie, no class

No doubt. Bernie’s on point here.

People are currently being released from jail after serving 20 and 30 year sentences because of DNA proof that they were wrongfully convicted. I hope and pray if I am ever being tried by a Jury that they do not judge me based on media bias and circumstantial evidence.

Goldberg asserted that “if Casey Anthony were a young black woman with a black two-year-old, no network would give this story ten minutes,”

That is a sad fact and everyone knows it. Little Black girls go missing all the time and the only way you’d ever hear about it is a 5 second blurb on the local evening news. But if a White kid goes missing it’s wall to wall Nancy Grace/Greta Van Sustern coverage.

Keep in mind this is the same media that likes to play the race card on Republicans.

Is it really surprising that Fox would bring Hispanic immigrants into a discussion of the Casey Anthony case?

No, it isn’t.

Remember Geraldo, you might have been at Fox for a long while, but they will always consider you a Hispanic before a reporter.

It’s the way their minds work.

Likewise, it’s not surprising that you would take it completely out of context as the reference was directed specifically at Geraldo and his passion for immigration reform, not just at illegal immigrants.

lol oh these guys are just full of lulz

Yeah, and somehow that translates to him having sympathy for White child murderers.

Amazing.

Geraldo Rivera: Is half Russian Jewish and half Puerto Rican of Iberian desent.

Not much indigenous Amerindian going on there.

The only reason he is sticking up for Casey Anthony is Geraldo is best friends with Baez, I heard him comment about it several weeks ago….Ego driven Geraldo is looking to get that exclusive with his bud, Baez….Riviera is a phony that speaks out of both sides of his mouth..

Just like a white person wouldn’t defend a white person if a white person was killed by a white person and a white person was involved. White person.

Bernie, you hit the nail on the head here. I have never taken the time to post in response to anything here,. but tonite I could not resist. Geraldo on his biased position on immigration amongst other things (would he be so pro- Anthony if Baez wasnt Latino? Hmmmmm? Its Undeniable! Media coverage, had this been an African American mother and dead baby? Unlikely! Warning that “no one is going to like what I’m about to say,” – Bernie, kudos to you for saying it and being accurate in your statements and for being honest and unafraid to voice them. The truth hurts sometimes.

OJ didnt and shouldnt have profited from his crimes because ethical individuals and corporations refused to be complicit in his so called acquittal. I only pray that the same level of decency exists when it comes to this baby killer. May she also inevitably end up in prison just like him. Karma is a you know what!

BFD said:

Here’s some friendly advice…acting dense doesn’t win you many arguments. Your beef was an imaginary Fox News attack on illegal immigrants (actually it was just a dumb, cheap attack on Fox), when in reality it was Bernie Goldberg using a juxtaposition about Geraldo’s pro-Hispanic bias to to invoke a discussion on those in the media, such as Geraldo, who seem to not have any problems with the faulty verdict.

See if you can reread this and figure it out on your own:

Goldberg didn’t directly comment on Rivera’s supposition that Anthony was not definitely a bad mother, but instead introduced a hypothetical scenario: “I wonder if Geraldo and others who think like Geraldo would be so openminded if, let’s say, a militia man in Arizona was accused of killing a Hispanic immigrant and the evidence was similar to this case– a mountain of circumstantial evidence.”

And remember folks, Conservatives don’t do nuance…:(

The case was weak and Casey got off.

Geraldo was right all along.

He must be destroyed.

Oh you said “Hispanic immigrants” and not “illegal immigrants”! And I’m sure you weren’t talking about illegals…just Hispanics, lol…nice try. Changes nothing.

Bernie stepped in it tonight. A number of folks are so caught up in the wrongness of Caley being killed and probably murdered and probably murdered by her mother that they can’t understand that our legal system is supposed to require more than just probability. I’m not convinced beyond doubt that Casey is guilty of manslaughter, though I think she is, so I would not have been at all surprised if she’d been convicted of manslaughter. I would have been surprised if she’d been convicted of murder in the 1st, since I don’t think her being a sociopath and liar is proof she’s a murderer. By every description she loved Caley and Caley loved her. For all we know she snapped and killed her in a rage or by accident, but if it was rage it hadn’t been proven or even demonstrated that she held such rage in past events. I just don’t see the jump from she’s a selfish liar to she definitely absolutely murdered her daughter. She probably did it, but someone shouldn’t be convicted of 1st degree murder because they probably killed someone. There has to be evidence of actual wrongdoing or at least evidence of intent to do harm.

Why are we only hours after the Casey Anthony verdict talking about race and ethnicity regarding this trial?

I myself believe Casey Anthony was guilty as sin, but I accept the verdict. Casey was damn lucky.

BTW THIS TRIAL WAS NOT ABOUT RACE AND ETHNICITY!

If one wants to talk about how different Races and ethnicities are treated and possibly given preferential treatment by the court system, can we at least wait a few more days to have that discussion? What the hell does all this have to do with this verdict today?

WTF people!

BFD taking a statement out of context to use as yet another anti-Fox shot.
Wow, big shock there! (Insert mocking eye roll here…)

BOTH of Goldberg’s observations were 100% spot on.

1) When it comes to missing children, ALL of the networks are guilty of “little blond hair, blue eyed girl” syndrome as if ONLY those girls are worthy of media attention. Seriously, you’re telling me that there are NO missing child cases out there for minority children that would have EQUALLY suspicious factors involved regarding their case? Hell, you’re telling me the media CAN’T find any other cases — aside from “little blond hair, blue eye girls” — that would make for sensationalistic TV as well? No F-ing way that is true.

While I mourn the loss of Kaylee Anthony and feel that she absolutely, positively didn’t see justice done today…and while I can appreciate the sense of loss that someone like Natalie Holloway’s parents must feel…that should NOT stop the media from doing a BETTER JOB of showcasing missing children or other cases, so that people could get more involved to help solve those cases or to see justice rendered there TOO.

As for Goldberg’s statement about Rivera and a potential Hispanic / Latino case, he’s absolutely right there too. For proof, all anyone would have to do is go back over the last 2 or 3 years of cases involving illegal immigrants in legal cases — and you would be hard pressed to find ONE CASE where Rivera didn’t INSTANTLY jump the gun and take the Hispanic / Latino / immigrant side. Across the board he has ALWAYS been making excuses for them.

And frankly, that’s where Rivera has lost it. When it comes to the immigration issue, he wears his politics and ethnic allegiance on his sleeve. And in the case of Kaylee Anthony, he even reverted back to his infamous “Vault of Al Capone” days where he continually seemed to take the defense side, just to gin up emotions and to get more buzz for himself by almost PURPOSEFULLY trying to agitate people.

In the end, I think Nancy Grace was reprehensible in the way she acted on TV, and I’ve vote Rivera a close second. They BOTH were major media whores on TV looking to promote themselves more than to actually see real justice done in this latest case.

Please, I am appalled..That sir is a racist statement! any news that allows people to call me White is Racist!!
I don’t look at myself as a white man, I don’t look at myself as a black man, I just look at myself as a man.

Insert whatever color you are and go on to the next story….

The Jury would have come back not guilty even if it was a rainbow color on trial..blame the prosecutor and media for how much you hate the verdict, although it may not have gotten the coverage as a pretty white gurl gone wild..PLEASE!!!!

See how this thread has turned from beating up Casey Anthony or the prosecution to beating up Geraldo Rivera for being a illegal immigrant advocate?

Fox has done it’s job admirably.
Practice makes perfect.

“I wonder if Geraldo and others who think like Geraldo would be so openminded if, let’s say, a militia man in Arizona was accused of killing a Hispanic immigrant and the evidence was similar to this case– a mountain of circumstantial evidence.”
Mediaite : Shouldn’t you change your incorrect headline? Nowhere in the above article does it say ” If Casey killed a immigrant”- because that would be absurd. He said a militia man. That analogy is absurd as well. A Hispanic immigrant killing would have probably garnered a response from the political partisans loons on both sides.

As for black mother killing her black 2-year old, that is a bold statement. Part of the sensation and publicity for this story came directly from the parents public pleas- and also because it is HIGHLY unusual for a young white woman of 25 years old, single mother living at home to do such a thing. The fascination to know more about this mother and her relationships, coupled with the mysterious father … gave this story it’s own edge, outside of a typical open & closed murder case.
Despite all the evidence or lack there of, I still can’t get over the length of time it took her to report her daughter missing – that in and of itself was total child abuse of which she should have been convicted.

Okay, here’s something nearly everyone can agree on, whether they like FoxNews, Casey Anthony, justice, apple pie, or whatever: Is that a couple of sad MF’ers in the screen cap, or what??

So much for Bernie.

Bernie from a Jewish background attacking another Man from a Jewish background with racial stereotype is shameful. Had his name remained Gerry Rivers instead of Geraldo Rivera, I doubt this crap would be coming out of Bernie’s mouth.

As for his last point, spot on.

Wow!……evidently you’re not a WORKING LA screenwriter….lol ,,,,You’re too smart. Keep it up.

I sort of get Bernie’s point. When you think about it, all the high-profile Mom murderer cases have involved white women. But there are hundreds of children killed by their mothers of every ethnicity each year. If there’s any bias, it’s that this is unusual for white mothers and considered par for the course for non-whites. Geraldo even said as much – that this would have been ignored if the woman was black. But I think it was a cheap shot by Bernie at Geraldo to bring up the Hispanic example.

BFD said:

I agree. Joey Biden needs to be fed through a meat grinder. What a wee-todd this VP has been. I’m not at all surprised that BFD lusts over him.

I said this in another article, there was NO concrete evidence to prove what really happened to the victim, and for that reason alone, I personally think the Jury gave a reasonable verdict based on the facts put forward before them. It would be immoral for the Jury to let sentiments overwhelm their reasoning during the deliberations. I like Bernie Goldberg, but think it’s Bernie who watched too much James Bond movies.

As I explined, Capital punishment(death penalty) is a very serious issue. The only thing worse than seeing Casey Anthony go free when she “seems” guilty of killing her infant daughter, would be sending her to the death chamber for a murder she did not commit, because she was a slut or told some lies during the case. Casey would not go free if there was concrete evidence for a guilty verdict for the case of murder. Lots of innocent people have been executed as a result of flaws in the judicial system, especially in cases that involved people who had history of lesser crimes than murder, or people whose personal character was questionable.

Personally my gut tells me Casey Anthony is not innocent of the crime, but my personal feelings for the innocent infant does not make the child’s mother guilty of killing her. Justice cannot be administered for murder based on personal sentiments of anyone or the Jury for that matter; neither should a verdict be based on prejudices toward the slutty and somewhat care-free life Casey Anthony lived.

Before anyone is given the lethal injection, sent to a gas chamber, electric chair, gallows for hanging, or firing squad, there has to be concrete evidence to prove the defendant guilty. Bernie Goldberg and Bill O’Reilly will not make good judges in the court of law, since they are easily overwhelmed by sentiments rather than proven facts available. I’m fully in support of the death penalty as a deterrent for the really evil killers in the society who take joy on cold-blooded murders. But capital punishment should be administered only when direct evidence(e.g. murders recorded live on camera or numerous witnesses) is available, rather than circumstantial evidence that are often flawed.

Good old geraldo – who would expect anything different from him?

geraldo’s a tripped out dude.

Of course Geraldo would be on the opposing side were it a white militia member and an Mexican illegal in the respective roles.

For decades, Liberals have demonstrated a Clear and Present Bias against whites whenever there was even the slightest notion that race could play a role.
Just recently, they were saying that cutting spending in order to prevent the country from going bankrupt was (don’t hate the fools too much) RACISM! – What else, that’s their ‘go-to’ Smear!

So, given Geraldo’s race-centric history, what would make any reasonable person think he wouldn’t switch sides?

Norbit, please stop eating paint chips, your posts are becoming more inundated with gibberish with each new entry.

Bernie is spot on here, Geraldo would be outraged if this was an illegal immigrant. I don’t think he’d be pro death penalty, but he’d certainly overlook the circumstantial evidence element and demand life without parole.

Bravo Bernie, bravo!

Why is everyone assuming Bernie’s analogy was an ILLEGAL immigrant? He just said Hispanic immigrant.

You do realize that you’re not on HuffPo or the MSNBC website here, where you can simply dismiss facts that don’t comport to your indoctrinated world view. Here you’ll have to support your contentions to establish and maintain credibility.

Once again, O’Reilly, and Goldburg team up to stroke each others inflated ego’s. Suggesting nonsensical hypothetical scenario’s that have no standing when discussing a murder trial. These guys were not sitting in the jury box, they did not see the same trial the jury saw. What part of reality are these two guys not understanding?!!
Geraldo Rivera is another matter all together. Why Foxnews hired this guy is a mystery. He is a constant source of journalistic embarrassment. His racism is unquestionable. About the only thing this guy is good at is incessantly taking, and saying nothing worth hearing.

I love Bernie.

I totally agree with Bernie Goldberg’s comment about Geraldo Rivera. I have observed Geraldo for years on Fox News and found him to be racially biased towards the Hispanics. I am an Asian, but I am not biased towards Asians. Geraldo and O’Reilly have been in more than one heated discussion whenever they discussed illegal aliens. Geraldo should learn how to be a bit more fair-and-balanced when it comes to illegal aliens. However, I do respect Geraldo for his fair-and-balanced coverage of our U.S. warfighters in the Iraq and Afghanistan war zones.

Al Sharpton brought up that point few years ago .. which i found was true..

Jerry Rivers has always taken the Illegal Alien, Mexico side against America. Nothing new there. He believes in enforcable borders for Mexico but not for the U.S. Fox News should be ashamed of themselves for giving this fool any air time. Goldberg is right.

I can’t believe fox is letting geraldo use the network to promote Baez. It’s so obvious he is just trying to boast his reputation. Casey got off only because the jury had a bunch of idiots making the decision. Not because he was a good lawyer. I’m so sick of hearing Baez say he just wants the public to go on wiith their lives and forget about anthony when he and geraldo keep coming on tv every chance they get. Everyone is sick of the whole bunch of them including geraldo
