Fox News and Geraldo Rivera continued their biased media coverage of the death of Freddie Gray by taking cameras to the streets of Baltimore. A local resident quickly confronted Rivera with honest and raw emotion, noting how Fox News rather exploit and criticize the black community by focusing on civil unrest than the real issues surrounding Grays death. As Rivera evades questions and walks away, the young man states:
You want to report that were thugs and breaking sh-t down!
He goes on to say:
I want you and Fox News to get out of Baltimore City, because youre not here reporting about the boarded up homes and the homeless people under MLK. Youre not reporting about the poverty levels up and down North Avenue.
He also points out the hypocrisy of Fox News, noting how Rivera was nowhere to be found during the 300 Man march, but was quick to come highlight black riots. The young man says:
Youre not here for the death of Freddie Gray. Youre here for the story.
The frustration is real and its justified as the young man continues:
This is real Baltimore. This is where people have to wake up and wonder where they gonna go to get a meal.
Rivera responded by turning his head away while grinning.

Never liked Geraldo, always seemed like a disingenuous closet right-winger. This just confirms it.

talking to Geraldo, was telling the truth and the fox spews "reporter" didn't want to hear the truth.
So typical of fox spews.

Simple as that.

that if he pushed or punched someone to protect Rivera, both Geraldo and the bodyguard would be in a world of hurt as protesters would immediately have been all over them.
