GERALDO SAYS HE'LL SUE THE NEW YORK TIMES
Wednesday, September 7 2005

Geraldo Rivera said Tuesday that he plans to sue the New York Times after the paper accused him of nudging "an Air Force rescue worker out of the way so his camera crews could tape him as he helped lift an older woman in a wheelchair to safety." Interviewed by Bill O'Reilly on his Fox News program, Rivera described TV writer Alessandra Stanley, who wrote the Times piece, as "the Jayson Blair of the Style section," and showed video of the scene in question, which appeared to contradict her description. Rivera said that he had asked for a retraction, which the newspaper refused. "In their arrogance, they defy the facts," he said. "And when confronted with the evidence, to still defy the truth is really pathetic."
