Title: Geraldo??
Post by: 3292gold on May 03, 2010, 03:30:42 PM
Something that I find odd is Geraldo Rivera. If You go to his website, He has alot of His old interviews on it. Michael's is not on it. Charles Manson-yes. MJ-  no. Why would He take that interview off? I know you can watch it on youtube- but still after Michael's "death", he was all up in arms, about blasting everyone who didn't stand by Michael, He was determined to hunt down whoever was responsible, etc. I read somewhere, that He said He was punked, regarding Michael. but I can't find it again. SO- Where is Geraldo, and what is He doing, with His investigation????

I think Geraldo has been warned not to invistagate, just a thought.

I think it is very strange too.  You can send him an email from foxnews.com.  I don't know if he will respond.  It is odd that he has not said another word about Michael Jackson since September.

He has been fooled, a trick has been played on him, hes been made to feel silly. I just hope hes not mad at MJ for this. He was a good friend and defender. Geraldo please stand with us.

I sent Geraldo an email asking him these questions very nicely months ago and he and FOX have chosen to disregard it.  Seems to me that Geraldo was silenced for good reason because Geraldo is one man who doesn't back down without a fight.

That is really interesting. You'd think he would respond with something, even very brief. I emailed Diane Dimond about another of her less than nice articles on Michael and she responded immediately...and even responded a second time to my rebuttal. That tells me that Geraldo may have been given warning from someone to keep quiet.

I also think he may have received some kind of warning.

What kind of warning are we talking about...stop talking about mj in general or stop nosing around in case he gets too close to the truth...I'm just wondering what he was saying that he would be silenced? The person who mentioned they read that he felt tricked...what do you think that means? I know he said that he thought Michael was 5'11. Do you think he was tricked by a double? I just can't think of how he might have been tricked. Does any one have an idea? Thanks!

Warning? Why do people say he has been warned to back off from investigating when he was trying to support a death investigation?  That sounds threatening.  Michael Jackson and his team behaving like the mafia?  I don't think so.  Geraldo must know the death is a hoax - so he was annoyed and hinted at it by saying he was punked- otherwise he would say nothing.  I heard this before - the punked comment - and it just confirmed there's a hoax going on.

fox has not really spent much time at all covering this since june.weird though, glen beck was doing one of his little board presentations last week and mentioned emerald cities and oz . also a person named gerry hudson(i think).wasn't there something here about someone with the initials gh? he is also acting like he's not feeling too safe these days.

That is what I think, too! Geraldo got to know it or got a strong indication,which lead to this policy, IMO.
Anything else does not make sense in Geraldo`s case, I think.

What is interesting is that it was the DAY after Geraldo stated he had been "punk'd" that every article surrounding Michael's death was removed from his website. Mind you, this was only a few short weeks after Michael "died". Why would he do that? I think it's safe to say Michael and Geraldo had a very friendly relationship seeing as how Geraldo was one of the VERY few people to support Michael during the trial and give him a respectful interview that did him justice. So I would imagine he'd be filled in about the hoax. Besides, if you all remember, Geraldo was ON TOP of this case in the begining... He stated how he was the one to investigate Elvis's death and that it was EERIE how identical the two stories were. He also said how he was not going to let go of it until he found the truth and justice was served. Yet, he has been NO WHERE. If you ask me, he knows SOMETHING.

well technically its not his place to investigate any thing. he is a journalist not a policeman so he (& no other journalists for that matter) shouldnt be investigating anything!
i doubt he would have been told that there is a hoax. i believe that very few people actually know about the hoax,id say only one or two know & the rest maybe have guessed. they probably feel just like us and believe that theres something that just doesnt add up.

Yes, but as a journalist it is his job to get the FULL story, which is what I think he meant by "investigating", not so much as doing detective or police work. We can't ignore the fact that he has just completely dropped this case, when originally he was so insistant about getting down to what really happened. I don't even think he's spoken about it since he appeared with Bill O'riely, which if I'm remembering correctly was shortly before he made his "I've been punk'd" statement. It is just odd that only a day after stating you've been punk'd, you decide to remove all Michael Jackson death related articles from your website. News is news, I don't care if an article is 20 years old... There will still be people around the world who are interested in reading up on it. Of course there is a strong possiblity he has no idea about the hoax, but at this point in the game I wouldn't out rule anything. Especially since Michael and Geraldo were on such good terms and Geraldo was very supportive. Just a theory, as pretty much everything regarding this "great adventure" is!  ;)

I notice this too about Geraldo.  I hope he will be ok, and I am
getting nervous for people who dig too deep or know something.

Geraldo does know something, but is it because he punked-find
out about the hoax, or found out something else, and was warned
off.
There is another journalist who has also feel punked by this.  ;)

But they don't need to be journalist to investigate, WE are doing
the same.   :)

Well, where is the proof that Geraldo said he was punked? I know I saw it somewhere, but can't find it again, so does anyone know where to find it, or is just a rumour? Why isn't He helping, he loved Mj and wanted vengence. Who would have shut Him up- He is like a pitbull- never lets go, wants to know right from wrong. He seemed to really be intrested, So why did He take Mj off His interview from the past?  Shady! I also emailed Him a few weeks ago- no response!

Are you talking about this website?  I don't think he had Michael there to begin with.  The punked thing was about the balloon boy.

No. It was not about balloon boy. Geraldo said this very shortly after 6-25 and pulled everything MJ related from his website.

I disagree. Simply because getting the full story is the nature of Geraldo's work (investigative reporter) and the media. This story definitely would sell and sell big!!!! Furthermore, Geraldo is like a starving lion stalking his prey; he always goes in for the kill and gets the full story.  It is not in Geraldo's nature to let something slide.  Geraldo is an attorney as well and fully understands the law and ramifications of it. If he abruptly ceased all conversation and investigation concerning MJ then, I feel, he did it to protect someone---most likely the integrity of the case----or the safety of MJ, his family and anyone else involved.  The whole punk'd statement may have been uttered to serve as a distraction or may have been a way to express his anger at not being told in advance about the nature of the hoax or reasons for it. He may have felt somewhat betrayed (being a friend and supporter to MJ) that he was left out of the loop in regards to it all.  In any regard, Geraldo's silence speaks volumes to me.

Maybe he found something in his investigations that contradicted what MJ had told him in the past, if he found he had been lied to maybe that would make him not interested in persuing this - who knows. maybe he found out he had spent time with a double as oppsed to MJ!
