THE REAL RITA COSBY TAPES TONIGHT ON 'AT LARGE WITH GERALDO RIVERA'

Geraldo Rivera fights for the truth !

Greta Van Susteren with buddy thug-thief Lincoln Bain

Are you tired of hearing one-sided tapes provided by Lincoln Bain about Rita Cosby, making outlandish allegations? I urge you to watch Geraldo Rivera and Kimberly Guilfoyle tonight on Fox News Channel to listen to the REAL tape. Greta Van Susteren from Fox News Channel was provided with the real tape soon before her show last night. She decided instead to once again give airtime to liar Lincoln Bain who provided Greta with tapes slamming Cosby, but clearly leaving out any ones that look bad for him. Why is she coddling this thug? Why didn't Greta show Bain's own website that has this on it, posted recently:

The caption reads: "Rita Cosby wrote a book claiming that Howard and Larry are lovers!!! Damn! I coulda told her that. In Fact Anna’s former nannies told that to several media groups months ago. The media was afraid to touch it but I am glad that its out!!! "

Is Greta forgeting how a real newswoman is supposed to do her job ? She has Rita Cosby's tapes yesterday and decides to hold them for Monday to cash in on the ratings and decides to still play thug and thief Lincoln Bain's incomplete tapes? On tonight's Geraldo and later on the Line-Up, you will hear Lincoln Bain himself on tape say the nannies told him about the sex tape of Howard K. Stern and Larry Birkhead! So much for his credibility! He also says on the tape he believes the nannies. So much for Greta doing her job! She should be ashamed of herself for allowing Lincoln Bain to slander a honest newswoman like Rita Cosby who clearly went down to the Bahamas to further investigate other angles of her story. What journalist would not have done the same once you hear HER tape? Tonight hear the real story..... Bain not only admits the nannies saw the tape, but confirms that investigators were told this by the nannies too--which is exactly what Rita Cosby reported in her book. So Bain even provides further confirmation of what Cosby reported! So why did his story suddenly change now? You take a guess.

GERALDO RIVERA BILL O'REILLY FRIENDS

Bill O'Reilly and Geraldo Rivera said Friday there were no hard feelings after they engaged in a shouting match unusual even for a cable opinion program where the volume is frequently set to loud. No chairs flew and no noses were broken. But the finger-pointing verbal duel over illegal immigration on Fox News Channel's "The O'Reilly Factor" Thursday night became a water-cooler topic the next day. "Geraldo is a friend of mine and I think I respect him even more now, if that's possible, than I did before," O'Reilly told The Associated Press on Friday. But they disagree passionately on the issue, he said. "I've known him for 25 years," O'Reilly said. "Geraldo doesn't come on to pick a fight." Rivera said his sensitivity to a "massive witch-hunt" against illegal immigrants set him off Thursday. The two men were discussing the case of Alfredo Ramos, a man charged with manslaughter and suspected of being drunk when his car crashed into another in Virginia Beach last Friday. Two teen-aged girls were killed. Ramos, a Mexican who has been in the United States seven years, is allegedly in the country illegally. "He doesn't have a right to be in this country," O'Reilly said. He said he wanted immigration laws enforced while Rivera favored "open-border anarchy."Rivera said O'Reilly shouldn't be turning a drunken driving case into an illegal immigration issue. "Don't obscure a tragedy to make a cheap political point," Rivera told him. Rivera told the AP he has a particular sensitivity to the issue. His father, who came to New York from Puerto Rico in 1940, used to watch the news and pray that people who committed a crime weren't Puerto Rican, he said. "I think that illegal immigration is the gay marriage (issue) of this political season," he said. Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory and Puerto Ricans were granted U.S. citizenship in 1917. Rivera, who is a guest on "The O'Reilly Factor" once a week, said he doesn't come on to be cowed or bullied by the host's opinions.O'Reilly called him after the taping to say, "that was lively, eh?" he said. "We're friends off camera," he said. "On camera, the fact of the matter is that we disagree on so many things that it always makes for good television." Rivera was host of a daytime syndicated talk show famous for its liveliness, where he even had a nose broken in a scrum. He's been working for Fox News since shortly after the 2001 terrorist attacks, and recently had a daytime syndicated news show produced by Fox canceled. His on-camera duel with O'Reilly seems to have struck a chord, judging by the requests he's getting to talk about the issue, Rivera said. The tape was played a couple of times Friday on ABC's "Good Morning America." At one point in the debate, Rivera told O'Reilly, "don't be ... Lou Dobbs' mom." CNN anchor Dobbs has made a crusade of illegal immigration on his program the past year. That was a new insult even for a TV host used to them. "I have been insulted by your organization and many other organizations," O'Reilly told the AP, "so nothing I hear surprises me."

GERALDO AT LARGE

Mancow Eric Muller and Geraldo Rivera

Geraldo is back, this time in syndication with his show "Geraldo At Large" . The award winning FOX newsman digs into the hottest stories of the day and sometimes the greatest stories of yesterday. I really liked the segment from years ago when Geraldo smoked a joint and he admitted he inhaled. I've known Geraldo for over 20 years and he really is a nice guy. We had dinner a while back with his lovely wife Erica. I told them some wild things. While others looked at me in shock, and couldn't wait to sliver under the table, Geraldo just looked at me and said, "Gee I didn't know that, who would know". He's seen it all. Recently my friend and radio shock jock (He hates being called this) Mancow Eric Muller, was a guest and after the show we all went to Langans for some pints of beer and many laughs. So tune into Geraldo Monday-Friday on Fox 5 in NYC at 6:30pm, check your local listings elsewhere.

My favorite watering hole where the burgers are great and the staff the best is Langans on West 47th street between 6th and 7th Ave. You can watch Bill O'Reilly, Geraldo Rivera and all the Fox News stars hang out with all the reporters from NYC including the famed Steve Dunleavy of the NY Post. I have had more adventures there and you always get some great inside gossip. Bartenders Eddie and Donald along with manager Kathleen and owner Des O'Brian make sure your stay is fun and exciting. Tell them I sent you!
