Geraldo Rivera

“I've been a liberal my whole life. I've been a Democrat my whole life. I've never voted for a Republican.”

“I am a journalist and, under the modern journalist's code of objectivity, which has borrowed from the conventions of the naturalist novel, I am a narrator, a teller of stories, and not a philosopher or scholar or moralist.”

“There's nothing in Al Capone's vault, but it's not my fault.”

“I feel that I'm in a profession that is best learned on the job, and I've been on the job for 34 years.”

“The press is a watchdog. Not an attack dog. Not a lapdog. A watchdog. I think that's a very important role.”

“I am what I am. I'm a flamboyant, provocative, and sometimes controversial reporter.”

“I'm a Puerto Rican Jew.”

“I am a working-class person, working with the tools of my trade.”

“I support the death penalty. I think that it has to be administered not just fairly, with no racial bias, but consistently.”

“You have to have a thick skin to be in this business.”
