Reminds me of the incident in which Geraldo was holding forth about the dangerous hurricane and the howling wind when an elderly man strolled behind him calmly walking his dog. It was hilarious.

I remember and people continue to believe the Today Show, CNN, MSNBC, and The View are real news. People are so ignorant!

Just a very small sample of how the media manipulates the news. Believe nothing reported by the Mockingbird news media. And for those who don't know what that is..... pull you head out of your ass!

Nancy Grace and Jane Velez were talking via satellite on CNN and the same bus and cars were passing by in the background because they were both standing in the same parking lot about 30 yards apart.

Worst part is she kept to the script saying it was difficult to control the canoe……in very calm water.

Still would have been funny if the two dudes didn’t walk by because she clearly has no idea how to use a paddle either

Remember Geraldo bracing hard against the wind in a Hurricane area, only to have several pedestrians across the street casually stroll by?

I recall a hilarious shot during a hurricane where a reporter acted like he was desperately clinging to a lamppost while a man casually walked his dog behind him like he was out for a nice stroll.

The media's job is not to tell you the truth, but rather to SELL you the story they want you to believe is the truth.
