#1 This should be a delicious slime-fest and I hope that Geraldo and the NYT's end up humiliated. Actually the reporter, Stanley, strikes me as one of their more fair-minded reporters when it comes to dealing with Bush and conservatives. This, despite the fact that she's Nancy Pelosi's daughter!!! But from what little I know of her, she strikes me as somewhat spoiled and ditzy. I always notice her by-line ever since I learned that she was Pelosi's daughter.

#2 Ah, Alessandra. I had a run in (purely professional, I assure you) with her once, gawd, 19 years ago. My personal, first hand experience is that she is a liar and a careerist of the first order. For her to call Geraldo a showboater is like the dingiest, most soot-covered pot calling the kettle black. People like her gravitate to the NYT like moths to flame, eager to be in the spotlight and willing to pay any cost to get there. Why does elite media suck? Because elitists are ruthless assholes willing to do anything to get that elite status. The worst of the worst become editors. Think Paul Krugman with a better poker face.

#3 I don't know who (if anyone)is telling the truth here, but when I originally heard Mr. Rivers had "rescued a survivor" I cracked up. He'll always be "Al Capone's bottle-boy" to me. A bigger ham there isn't.

#5 11a5s - unfortunately her type proliferates in many areas (had a fun day in Court yesterday with one who wears robes) and benefits from the silence and short memory of the general population ... I'm no fan of Geraldo frankly and don't know the truth of the matter, but by the same token media canabalism amidst the aftermath of Katrina is bizarre and disgusting. There are surely countless things people should know but won't hear or see because of the oxygen, airtime and print sucked up by media BS about the media.

#6 It really doesnt' matter if she's a good or bad reporter for the Times. She's a female and fills a quota for them..
I think reporting the news went out with the Times a long time even befor Jayson Blair.
