Bit Of A Double Standard

Geraldo Rivera: ABC Fired Me Over A $200 Donation

By Courtney Coren, May 15, 2015, Newsmax

Geraldo Rivera says that he was fired by ABC because he donated $200, and he wants to know why George Stephanopoulos is being treated so differently by the same network.

"In 1985, after fifteen great years, I was fired by ABC News," Rivera wrote in a post on his Facebook page Friday. "The official reason for my firing was a non-disclosed $200 donation to a family friend running in a non-partisan mayoral campaign in New Bedford, Massachusetts."

However, Rivera, who now works for Fox News, contends that the real reason he was fired was because of an unrelated reason — he "was estranged at the time from my boss Roone Arledge" because he had "complained publicly after Roone spiked a colleague's 20/20 story about the Kennedy brothers' relationship with Marilyn Monroe."

But the reason given for his firing was the "undisclosed $200 donation."
