I have protected this article because of recent vandalism. However, in looking through the page, it appears to be pretty heavily biased. The bit about the Al Capone vault is quite mocking, and almost all of the information in the "Career" section is pretty negative, though factual. – GorillaWarfare (talk) 03:45, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Maybe someone with better research skills than I can verify that Geraldo's nationally televised report on Willowbrook appeared on ABC's Dick Cavett late-night show. ABC's 20/20 & Nightline programs appeared much later; Nightline growing out of the 1979 hostage crisis at the American embassy in Teheran, Iran. 138.162.128.54 ( talk) 15:37, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
A press release states that Geraldo's radio show is only on WABC and the internet but is a "local" show. I'm not sure what is an acceptable secondary source to cite. Fotoguzzi ( talk) 22:48, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
"Gerald Michael Riviera (born July 4, 1943), better known as Geraldo Rivera ... Rivera was born [...] the son of Lillian (née Friedman), a waitress, and Cruz "Allen" Rivera ..."
Where does the last name "Riviera" come from if his father's name was Rivera and his mother's Friedman?-- 46.223.21.230 ( talk) 14:31, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
Either that or their fathers were different and that is why she misspelled their names! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.24.74.10 ( talk) 23:52, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
Rivera clearly is a Stateside Puerto Rican, as indicated by well sourced information in the article. Sundayclose ( talk) 01:14, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
Shouldn't Rivera, who is included in List of Puerto Ricans, be in a number of Hispanic people categories, including Category:Puerto Rican lawyers and Category:Puerto Rican television journalists ? ☆ Bri ( talk) 21:41, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
