    He was wrong in his response to Jimmy Kimmel comments what about freedom of speech. And he does not owe anyone an apology. Geraldo is a maga fool

  • Unbelievable how you are becoming more and more alarmist. Isn't FOX news enough? You have people literally lying and you allow them to continue. In addition, you invite the LIARS back. It's one thing to allow different viewpoints and quite another to permit liars who shout talk over others.

    If I hear it again, I am done with Blitzer. I don't listen for or from rage/fear. Stop!
