Geraldo Rivera Outfoxed by CNN?

FNC’s Geraldo Rivera tells the NYPost‘s Page Six, “The Most Trusted Name in News just chickened out.” Rivera is referring to being bumped from a CNN interview to promote his new book, “His Panic: Why Americans Fear Hispanics in the U.S.” Rivera was booked to talk to Nancy Grace later this month, but was uninvited, he says, because of a “blanket boycott” of Fox News talent on CNN. “This reveals a corporate insecurity,” says Rivera. A CNN rep told the Post it was nothing more than a scheduling conflict.

>More from an emailer: the transcript from a nearly two-year-old Larry King interview with Chris Wallace: “Larry, can I just say, that this is a real tribute to my father because I know before you could invite me as a host, an anchor at FOX, onto CNN, you had to go to the very top of CNN to invite me. And then I had to go to the very top of FOX to get permission to come on. So this is like television diplomacy all over again.”
