GERALDO RIVERA: By addressing half of the American people and crafting everything they do, or say, opinion or news, for that half of the American people, they do a grave disservice.

They are not doing the job of communicating to the American people, they're trying to twist opinions and it will all--

SEAH HANNITY (HOST): Geraldo, you're a dinosaur, I mean that respectfully, you have standards. I mean that in a nice way. You know how much I applaud your 50-year career, it speaks for itself. Journalism is dead, guys. It's dead and buried.
