Geraldo Greeted By Occupy Wall Street Protestors Chanting ‘Fox News Lies’

Geraldo Rivera changes mind about 9/11 Truth after hearing new ads – Lexington courts | Examiner.com

Geraldo Rivera claims that he is now more open to the idea that 9/11 involved planted explosives after hearing new ad campaign. Rivera claims that the fact that the families of the victims and over 1300 architects and engineers are behind the new information has caused him to take a second look. The following is the press release for the ad: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 2, 2010 CONTACT: http://buildingwhat.org/contact/ PDF VERSION: http://buildingwhat.org/downloads/BuildingWhatPressRelease.pdf 9/11 Family Group Releases TV Ad Calling for World Trade Center Building 7 Investigation NEW YORK CITY — The NYC Coalition for Accountability Now (NYC CAN) is launching a television ad campaign on Election Day in New York City calling for an investigation into the destruction of World Trade Center Building 7, the third building to collapse on 9/11. Building 7 came down at 5:20 in the afternoon although it had not been hit by an aircraft. The ad, which is entitled “BuildingWhat?” and can be viewed at BuildingWhat.org, will air 350+ times from November 2 through November 10 and is estimated to be seen by millions of viewers in the New York Metropolitan Area, reaching core target audiences multiple times. NYC CAN’s goal is to generate public pressure on the New York City Council to open an investigation into the destruction of Building 7, which until 9/11 housed the City’s Emergency Operations Center, also known as “Mayor Giuliani’s bunker.” “We’ve been educating the City Council about Building 7 and the need for a new investigation for the past six months,” said Bob McIlvaine, father of Bobby McIlvaine and one of the 9/11 family members who appear in the ad. “We are asking them now to do something about it.” Patricia Perry, mother of NYPD officer John Perry, opens the ad saying, “Most people don’t know that a third tower fell on September 11th.” Footage of Building 7’s destruction begins to play while other 9/11 family members explain that 1,200 architects and engineers have examined the evidence and disagree with the official report issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), which concluded that office fires brought down Building 7. This would mark the first and only time in history that fire has caused a steel-framed skyscraper to collapse. The ad closes by asking viewers to go to BuildingWhat.org to learn more.

E! Writer: ‘True Blood’ Rape and Murder ‘Highly Ironic,’ ‘Great Fun’

E! Online ” The Awful Truth ” columnist Ted Casablanca on Aug. 21 called the graphic depictions of sex and violence on HBO’s vampire drama “True Blood” “highly ironic” and promoted the show as “great fun.” Casablanca defended the show on Fox News Channel’s “Geraldo at Large” in a discussion with host Geraldo Rivera and Culture and Media Institute Assistant Editor Nathan Burchfiel. The debate was sparked by the controversy surrounding a recent Rolling Stone magazine cover that depicted “True Blood” stars naked and covered in (fake) blood. Burchfiel pointed out that while the shows originate on premium cable channels like HBO and Showtime, many “worst-of” clips are available online within hours of broadcast, and many popular shows like “The Sopranos” and “Sex and the City” have found their way onto basic cable via syndication, a likely future for “True Blood.” “It’s highly ironic, Geraldo,” Casablanca said of the show, adding, “It’s a highly intelligent, very clever indictment of the very conversation that we’re having right now and it’s an allegory to our times.” Burchfiel questioned that characterization. “Highly clever and ironic? They’re depicting murder and rape as if it’s something worth being glorified. I mean there was an episode just this season where one of the main characters literally turned a woman’s head around 180 degrees while he’s violently raping her. ‘Oh, it’s ironic. Haha.’ It’s digusting.” “Where do we stop writing things off as simply ironic instead of sewer diving?” Burchfiel later added. Casablanca suggested opposition to the show’s graphic nature was a result of homophobia. “I guarantee you that if none of those vampires were gay vampires, we wouldn’t be having this conversation,” Casablanca said. “What’s upsetting so many people is that a lot of the vampires are gay.” Rivera didn’t buy that argument, and neither did Burchfiel, who asked, “Who was talking about them being gay? It has nothing to do with that.” Casablanca was correct in asserting that many of the show’s vampires are gay. The depiction of gay sexual violence has been similar to the depiction of heterosexual violence. In a recent episode, a main character murdered an enemy during while engaging in gay sex. “Certainly that heterosexual sloppy scene we just saw was not gay,” Rivera said referring to clips shown during the discussion.” At the end of the segment, Casablanca recommended “True Blood” to viewers saying, “It’s great fun.”

Shocker: Geraldo Takes Stand Against Black Panther Leader Over Slave Reparations

Surprises come unexpectedly sometimes. On Fox News Channel’s July 11 broadcast of “Geraldo at Large,” an aggressive host Geraldo Rivera took on chairman of the New Black Panthers, Malik Zulu Shabazz over his political stands. “It is absolutely pathetic, it is so old-fashioned,” Rivera said. “What are you trying to do? Are you trying to be the big, bad nightmare?” Shabazz, leader of the New Black Panther Party (NBPP) rattled off one of his causes, Oscar Grant, but he leveraged him to make a case for reparations. “I’m trying to help Oscar Grant , who was shot down in cold blood by a white cop and I am trying to redeem, I am trying to redeem – put that camera back right over here, I am trying to redeem — and black people who have been lynched, raped or mobbed and have not been given reparations.” Rivera responded to his call. “You insult her memory when you engage in your hateful rhetoric,” Rivera said.  “I think that reparations is just like these welfare programs that have turned a generation into nothing but unproductive people.”
