Alex, he’s been doing things like this since he Latinized his name to get into Columbia Law School.
He’s a self-promoting egomaniac.
Even F#X keeps him on a short leash.

The reason it didn’t get much attention is because of what he said:

I think it will end THE PROSECUTION CASE, Brian, with a bang, so to speak, SHOW that this was a selfish, narcissistic, self-involved slut…

He didn’t say “She’s a slut”. He said this is how the prosecution is trying to paint her. Now he may think she IS a slut (despite his antipathy toward the prosecution in this case), but he didn’t say so here.

Geraldo is one of those Liberals that supposedly do not exist on Fox News.

“Geraldo”‘s only politics is Geraldo.
He’s a political whore. If you pay him, he’ll do it.

cause she is?

Is this for real? You lefties have been calling conservative women “whores, bitches, the c-word (see the t-shirts about Palin from the campaign), ignorant, and everything else and mediaite was relatively silent on the use of those words against Palin,and now mediaite claims:

“misogynist implications”

This is beyond sad, it is laughably sad, you let every attack by MSNBC go unremarked upon, and now, you raise misogny?

Mediaite confuses the heck out of me. The attacks on Bristol Palin on this board were unbelievable, even written by mediaite staff, and now you accuse someone else of misogny?

Honestly Alex, get a standard and try to stick with it; stop criticizing others for what happens on this baord regularly.

Who knew you could just “latinize” your name and get accepted into Columbia Law? I sure didn’t.

Lacky, how ’bout addressing the topic, now?

Hey Alex?
Maybe because she really fits the actual meaning of the word?

As opposed to Sarah Palin being called the same from a Politically Left
commentator (&DchBg) who was awarded the very next day with an
appearance on Rachel Maddow s Cable Network Circus act/Show

Did you comment on that at the time?
Are you now part of the Soros funded “Eyes Wide For Fox with lotion @hand?”

This is the kind of discrimination that child murderers have to put up with every day and I am sick of it.

“Why Did Geraldo Rivera Get Away With Calling Casey Anthony A ‘Self-Involved Slut’?”

Simple…it happened on FNC and these buttholes don’t do apologies…that’s all.
Geraldo probably got a raise for being the “under the radar” SOB of the month.

Casey Anthony is a murdering whore. I don’t see anything wrong with Geraldo calling a spade a spade.

I didn’t see Geraldo, except for that very short clip above, but I have followed this case as closely as the jurors. I developed an interest in it and have watched it on a live stream and watched archived videos of anything that I miss.

Your analysis is generally just wrong.

Much of the case has been about the very things that Geraldo mentioned and much deeper, very rich in detail. The prosecution has not specifically commented on her sexual activities but the testimony taken as a whole paints her as being very promiscuous even by the sexual mores of today.

The prosecution case has shown that her lifestyle is part and parcel of her motivation and her behavior, which is aberrant by almost any standard, is one of the legs of the ME’s declaring it a homicide by unknown means.

I’m not a fan of Geraldo’s and have never been but in this case I think you’ve convicted him on erroneous and flimsy evidence.

Now, the question at play here, beyond whether it’s ever appropriate for a news anchor to refer to a woman as a slut during a report…

I think a better question is whether it’s appropriate to put Geraldo and his big fat yap on TV. I think not.

Okay, wake me up when you change screen names again, Garth.

Just from the title I’d say that there are few things we are sure of regarding Casey Anthony and the death of her daughter, but it is very apparent that Casey is indeed a self involved slut. I don’t think we need the jury for that one.

johnny dollar said:

The prosecution is trying to prove she had multiple affairs instead of being concerned what happened to her daughter.

“Slut” was Geraldo’s word. He certainly did call her that.

Oh give it a break. I laughed out loud when I saw, for probably the first time, the word misogny here on mediate; after the years of attacks on the Palin women, on any conservative women, by almost every on-air personality on CNN and MSNBC, and now, all of a sudden, Alex brings up misogny in re this woman andFNC, and she has never, to my knowledge criticized the left for their outrageous attacks on all women with the name of Palin.

Please….as I said, get a standard and stick to it.

BFD – Matthews, Maddow, O’Donnel, Schuster, Olbermann attack conservative women on a regular basis, as does Wolf, Cooper, and Piers. And now, we get misogny as a topic.

Thanks for doing what Alex should have Johnny. Keep up the GREAT work!!

The normal sexism in the media is usually targeted at people over disagreement. This is more over her being a sick freak who murdered her kid. It wasn’t right at all that he said it, but it is of a different degree. Still wrong and unprofessional.

So she’s being portrayed as a murderess but we should get our panties in a bunch when she’s being called a slut? Well, nothing like a new perspective.

I guess it would have also been ok if Geraldo said she was a “self-involved c*nt” because the prosecution is definitely trying to close their case by giving the jury that impression.

A slut is a sexually promiscuous woman. If Casey was sleeping around a lot, it’s an entirely appropriate word. Enough with this PC bullshit.

When Ed Schultz called Laura Ingraham that, it was a slur.

But if Casey is sleeping around a lot, as seems to be the case, it is a fact.

And if Casey were a man, it’d be entirely appropriate to call him a slut (or a male slut) too.

“I think it will end the prosecution case, Brian, with a bang, so to speak, to show that this was a selfish, narcissistic, mother-f*#king c#cksucking whore b*tch who wanted to kill her child”

Yep, that’s exactly what they’re doing, and that is how Geraldo described it. He is El Doucho Grande, but he’s not out of line here, and he is not deciding that she’s a slut, he’s telling it right.

Unlike you, I can back up what I post.

Rivera is not registered as a Republican or Democrat.

WHY THE GOP LOST VOTERS LIKE ME
By GERALDO RIVERA

Bill Maher has lowered the bar for everyone. RIP Women’s Movement. You are only a part of the Democrat Party these days. The feminists I ran with in the 70′s would have busted Maher’s lip for calling Palin a c*nt, and could state more eloquently than and of the Faux Libs on this site why they objected to her politics.

lol…yeah, I don’t really care if he called this piece of sh!t murderer a slut either.
I think this whole topic is strange.
I was just playing devil’s advocate.

But I do think that by paraphrasing the prosecutions tactic he was the one who called he a slut.
I think it’s a cop-out to deny it.
But I don’t care that he did it.

That’s mild compared to what Olbermann called Michelle Malkin. But here’s the difference, at Fox that language (or a toned-down version) is addressed to murderers, while at MSNBC its targeted at Republicans.

Fire him! For the love of everything sacred, fire him. and his mustache. Fire all both of them.

ALEX,
Most of the time I like Geraldo.
Some of the time I just have to tolerate him.

He’s a good weekend host for FOX. He’s almost always a great interviewer. He’s never boring.

He should NOT be calling anyone a slut, not ever.

Hey hey hey… come on J$. Don’t you know what site this is? Haven’t you read the comments around here before?

Facts? We don’t need “facts.” Geraldo called her a “slut” because that’s what they say he did! It doesn’t matter what the context actually was, or what he actually said… just what they say he said!

This is Mediaite. It’s their reality.

ImNotBlue said:

No, Geraldo called her a slut because the prosecution never said those words.
He was paraphrasing.
Do you know what that means?
“Put something in your own words”.
Your own words.
Geraldo.
Own words.
Geraldo’s words.

OxyCon said:

He is a phony who cares about himself, only.
He was brought up Jewish,and had a Bar Mitzvah.
He was Gerald Rivera when he was “mouthpiece” (his term) for The Young Lords, a Puerto Rican activist group in NYC.
He was offered a job with ABC-TV in NYC, and asked to use “Geraldo”, to attract a Latin audience, by Al Primo, the news director.
Having met him when he was with the YL, and followed his career(?) since, he is no liberal, except for his views on the sanctity of marriage.

Does he think she’s a slut? Yes. Did he say that she’s a slut? No.

He said the prosecution will portray her as a slut to the jury. He’s right. He’s an asshole, but he’s right. Fox should still just give him a gold watch, a nice pat in the back and some help carrying his boxes to the car.

Say what you will about this particular instance, the truth remains that he’s still one of the most reputable news personalities on FNC.

Geraldo has fallen so hard.. he may as well work for Nancy Grace..

I don’t care if she is guilty..and burns in hell forever..which she would deserve..

The whole thing is not to become that which you hate…

We as a nation believes in Innoccent till “proven” guilty for a reason.. and should leave it there.

If you want to be a Journalist..act like one..everything and everyone else has no clear dignity or relation to ANYTHING but tabloid political sided biased news, which we have all become to use to and is so unfortunate. We as a nation have become immune to shock and awe. And listen to 90 percent dribble everyday. That leaves 10 percent to the weatherman who has more credibility than the rest.

Dear Alex Alvarez:

This same topic came up at our table on Father’s Day. My family was shocked to hear me say that I do not think the prosecution has done its job beyond the shadow of a doubt, and that I, being an apostle of Franklin’s famous words “Better to let 100 men go free than for one to be unjustly convicted”, said that it was a lonely position to take, but that Geraldo and a couple of the medical examiner talking heads agreed. That’s when the slut thing came up and in this case, my family had seen this when it had aired (as opposed to hearing about it from friends, which maybe you did????) and immediately knew that he was presenting the prosecution’s theme. Further, no one at the table for one second thought Geraldo was calling her a slut in his opinion. And they all disagree with him about her guilt.

Poor Alex. Girl, you really need to slow down and be more objective. Seriously. If you were a dachshund in a field of foxholes, your little heart would explode.

AmericaSucks said:
I agree. That’s no way to treat a poor single mother who’s only been accused (not convicted) of a crime.

I’m neither a judge nor prosecutor, am not on the jury, and my opinion is not subject to lawful restrictions. Here’s what cannot be disputed: The mom at the very least knew her kid was missing, didn’t report it to anyone, and was out grinding and having a jolly time. That alone makes her a chunk of crap and a slut. The endless string of lies since then would lead the vast majority of reasonable people to believe she at least knew she had a dead kid in her trunk. I and most people believe she killed her kid. Some people on this comment thread have tried to turn this into an innocent until guilty thing, but outside of the courtroom, that doesn’t matter one speck, and those who pretend to not have an opinion are just full of sh!t.

In any case, the article is about Geraldo referring to her as a slut, which she is, regardless of her guilt in the crime.

Anyway, I know you better than you know yourself. You dig taking unpopular and provocative positions because you crave attention. Sort of like ugly people who go Goth. Your handle is another example of this.

Even if she didn’t kill her daughter, the way she carried herself afterward makes her the worst person alive. So phuck this slut! Geraldo can get away with it because no one would really care to defend her.

Geraldo Rivera is a “self-involved slut” of ever there was one. He is putrid.

and so what if he did call it the way it is? it is a fact that this self involved slut partied away for 31 days before anyone got wise to the fact that her child was missing. seems he got it right.

You gotta be kidding. The standard is reasonable doubt, not no doubt whatsoever. A lot of technical types like engineers and mathematicians get hung up on this concept. They are always able to conjure up some doubt and don’t feel comfortable judging whether or not the doubt is reasonable. I wonder how many of these types made it on the jury ?

Yes, it’s too bad that nobody cares about the woman that killed her own ALREADY BORN fully aware child. Yes, I threw that in for the moronic neocons who’ll try to make this relate to abortion.

I would have to believe that Geraldo got away with saying it because so many of us were thinking what a self-involved selfish, narcissistic, selfish slut Casey Anthony is that nobody noticed he said it out loud. We just thought we heard our own selves thinking.

i never heard about it. no one defended her because of what she is accused of.
regardless, it was a tacky, poor choice of words for a professional on tv.

because no one watches or cares about geraldo rivera.

Don’t care for Geraldo or his contrived sensationalism, but Ms. Anthony is the the wrong character for your soapbox.

I have served on a jury panel several times and I take it very seriously to presume the defendant is innocent untill proven guilty. It’s not the job of the public or the media to convict the accused no matter what they think. The prosecutor must present his case and prove beyond a reasonable doubt the accused is guilty as charged. Geraldo and the media have prejudiced many people against the accused and it will be very hard to have a fair trial.

Self involved….self absorbed….disassociated…..taking selfishness to a new plateau!!!
