Fox News Fail: Geraldo Rivera says Obama is Dead Instead of Osama

[shadowtiger18]

Obama died when he sold his soul to satan, snoop dogg's song 'murder was the case that they gave me' is about how he sold his soul to satan and is now actually dead

[bridgeboy513]

I tried again thanks for the heads up.

[activenon]

this is a HUGE FAIL not for the mistake but for his terrible acting.

if you want to fake it as a mistake just do it right buddy.

what a pathetic acting.. argh!

[AdventureSeekerTeach]

THIS IS THE BIGGEST PHONY ON FOX.

[RadcliffOfCrymod]

@AdventureSeekerTeach No, I still think he's dwarfed by Bill O'Reilly.

[jwul28]

LMAO that is the 3rd reporter i see doing that mistake!! XDDDD

[Ariana321]

@jwul28 I think it might just be wishful thinking getting the better of them ;)

[jwul28]

@Ariana321 yeah we need a compilation, or something like that. Oh jesus even better: A RAP that would be called like: Fox's death of obama COLLECTIVE.

[Goalie094]

ubama finally got usama aye?

[cLBombnation]

USAMA? Lmao

[sheepOG]

Well Geraldo, if that were true, neither would I.

[BrunoDaKeeper]

"Obama's Dead, I don't Care" LOL

[CamiloSanchez1979]

What did I say....not much buddy...

[ZombyGenocide1]

i wish both were true

[warkill201]

whats the difference?

[TheCentralServices]

Well, I am not a friend of terrorists, but I am deeply ashamed that America has lowered itself into the cesspit of the old testament. There is no room in a modern, civilised world community for people who still believe in killing, torture or the primeveal concept of revenge. To lock a convicted criminal away to protect society - ok. But the thought of having to sit next to a former soldier in a bar who might have killed someone makes me sick to my stomach.

[generalgitter96]

obama dead? is geraldo a psychic or something ?

[jmann114]

Who cares it was a lie anyway.

[Intraverseneptune]

oh Geraldo you've got it all mixed up again

[Jessyleppert]

The funniest blooper he made was when he accidentally tore a Woodstock ticket.

[xXHardc0rExFaNXx1]

Usama

[SPARTAN1T]

Actualy alot of news stations besides fox made the same mistake

[Timmoux]

Im surprised any words at all can escape the clutches of that moustache. Geraldo Rivera, the Super Mario of Fox news...

[CarolyntheGreat]

I'm a screaming liberal and all I can say is 'who hasn't done this'?

[lewars1912]

@CarolyntheGreat I do it all the time lol (:o)

[jeremyboy2005]

fox does this shit all the time and should get in trouble for it the lie on lots of things ive caught them on and are all the time putting obama bin laden up it makes me sick so childish

[scotlad219]

obummer is Irish now that he is campaigning for the irish-american vote, Damn Kiar

[rubberduck5008]

they spelt osama wrong

[latinasdoitbetter1]

whats the difference between obama and osama?  BS

[410Dread]

usama..

[jrwriter220]

@410Dread ?

[RevengeOfTheKaizer]

What a weak attempt at a "fail". Everyone in the news media keeps bungling the two names.

[FilipH86]

@RevengeOfTheKaizer no everyone at fox news keeps doing that I just came from 5 different other clips where people at fox propaganda and dissinformation network did that but none from any other real network has done this

[ChaosTelevision]

@MarioSMB3

Real news shouldn't be left or right wing. News is just that news. Fox news muddles things up way too much. CNN, MSNBC & the networks (I should say their news directors & or producers) may lean one way or another now & then but Fox News is just another leaning tower thats just about to hit the ground. NPR definitely leans just as far the other way. Also Newspapers tend to lean. I never like how they come out supporting canidate X during elections.

[macgeek2004]

So what? Nearly EVERYONE's made this flub! Why's this time so special?

[CFaithDolie]

hahahahahaha... priceless.

[temite80]

I'm surprised at how many people think that was a mistake.

[darklordservant88]

moral of the story... don't vote for a guy whose name sounds like that of Public Enemy number one

[dusdead]

@darklordservant88 How is that in any way a moral?

[darklordservant88]

@dusdead it's not, i apologize, i was a bit of an ass with that... that was insensitive... i apologize, sincerely

[dusdead]

@darklordservant88 Hey. You really didn't need to apologize! I was just asking a question. I do appreciate it, but I think it's fine to have opinions. That's what the internet is for.

[CFaithDolie]

@darklordservant88 

[KingofTheMafia]

why does fox news always confuse osama and obama? fucking idiots

[o0PocoMax0o]

@KingofTheMafia Because President Obama is Irish lmao....

[lostisthebest815]

Big fucking deal. I still would never trust any other stations beside Fox. The liberal run media is the biggest fault of our society. Liberalism doesn't work people, it's full of anti-American, socialist ideas. ;)

[SupLBJ]

Fail dumbass

[RawFoodKevin]

Very coincidental that whenever a Republican gets in trouble with the law, FAUX Gnus always seems to find a way to call the Republican a Democrat.

Just recently, they incorrectly called Wisconsin Assistant Attorney General JoAnne Kloppenburg a Democrat, when in fact, she is an Independent.

The story still has yet to be corrected:

h ttp://nation.foxnewsd-o-t-c-o-­­m /joanne-kloppenburg/2011/04/20­­/failed-democrat-requests-rec­o­unt-wisconsin

[CamiloSanchez1979]

I am sure Geraldo didn't mean it, is just that anti democrat gas they blow thru the vents to keep them stupid.

[619soccerplayer]

why is everyone saying that obama is dead

wrong person people

[XXbigpimpin]

wow lmao its all over the news everywere that day people are so dumb its not a mastake they trow that world wide and lmao its funny people thinks its a mess up obama was cloned after comming back from india the world is getting played and you dont even no it its in my eys its like real life risk whats going to happen when one man concers the world were its te peace there i HATE THE NEW WORLD ORDER GIVE US A PEACE FULL FULLFILLING LIFE I SEE IT AL IN BETWEEN THE LINES AND MENY OTHERS DO ALSO :(

[jrrdmc]

@XXbigpimpin if you learned proper grammar others might listen to you...... but as it is no one understands what you are trying to say

[504Jesus]

Excellent!

[uzumaki11111111]

He said the bum is dead

[23GrandMasterK]

It happened a weak ago if by a week ago, you mean that day.

[ixonixas]

USAama :DDDDDDDDDDDD Is it Roflcopter over my head? :D

[etiosoul]

#LOL

[xhxntxrx]

seems to happen a lot with fox news saying obama is dead, i mean two reporters. plus he smirked about it. i use to think CNN was the bad one, cant watch fox anymore now.

[LihAniaih]

@xhxntxrx Well what was he supposed to do, derail everything and put a "super srs" face on in the midst of his happiness to apologize for a simple Freudian slip? Of course he smirked a bit, just the way models smile or laugh when the fall on the runway. He screwed up, but not having good humor about it would have just made it worse.

This whole Osama/Obama thing is hell for for anyone in the news industry. They're both names that they have to say all the time, and they're ONE LETTER apart.

[ramerican]

@xhxntxrx all the stations have said Obama was dead instead of Osama.  all of them

[intellectualmastadon]

@xhxntxrx CNN still is. Every news organization has a political agenda. CNN just tries to make it seem as if they don't. Fox News just catches more than the others because they claim to be fair and balanced. Unbiased journalism has never existed and it never will.

[stage51manager]

What's the difference of Usama and Osama???

[COMICAWL]

@stage51manager your maama,

[zainabhashimi]

@stage51manager : it is the same person, it is pronounced "O-SAA-mah" in Arabic. people spell his name differently..

[Dannoc100]

oh ya the FBI and the US News spelled the name wrong and you all detected it!! you all are so smart!!! wow....its because they wanted to distinguish that its osama and not obama. and another reason could be that its spelled different ways, they do that a lot in arabic. but really glad you all thought you were so clever that you detected an error by the FBI...really, you all are way too smart for your own good

[curhsa]

jewraldo epic fail #LOL

[Estragon17]

Yeah, because we all know that he is usually referred to simply as Osama... not Bin Laden.

[Jerryfalwell]

typical embarrassing crap from Fox Noise. whether it be Fox local channels saying the same thing, or the national network, they do this SHIT all the time, and yet GOPers watch them like it's the word of GOD... shameful! They mess up SO much, and spin everything so badly while not telling the real news of whatever story.

[blackandblue10]

@1337Tazer I thought it was a mistake too, until I saw "Usama" on the FBI website

[gobluedevils5677]

i was at a packed hotel and i was at the pool which was packed as well and everyone was celebrating and instead of shouting fuck osama i accidentally said fuck obama!! lol

[mjm2z]

i feel bad for that guy ilke when he said it he lookd like he felt like shit and was prolly embarased shitless

[colinsilver105]

Naw, give him a pass. Those two words are way to easy to mess up. Even if it was intentional, give him the benefit of a doubt here. "Am I not merciful"

[1337Tazer]

'Usama' Bin Laden? O_O

[EightDimensionFilms]

@1337Tazer That's how the CIA spells it.

[Estragon17]

@1337Tazer

My understanding is that Arabic is not quite so definitive on which vowel is used when things are written... in that it doesn't actually indicate specific vowels.

[OfEpicPreportions]

@1337Tazer It translates with a 'U' or an 'O' from Arabic. Either way is correct.

[RUMELSKIN]

@1337Tazer That is the original name. O or U is correct. Kinda like James and Jim are both the same name

[lesorciercalifornien]

@1337Tazer It can be spelled more than one way (like Gadhafi/Qaddafi/Khadafy).  The U spellling was actually seen very often right after 9-11.)

[wowwt]

@1337Tazer its his name in iraq/iran.

[ZombyGenocide1]

@1337Tazer USAma dumbass take some classes please

[karim3343]

@1337Tazer yes you can also spell it Usama

[hanksnow82]

Most Americans would have been just as happy if Obama was dead .

[ronnymexico23]

@hanksnow82 I don't know about that. We'd then be stuck with Uncle Joe "J O B S is a 3-letter word" Biden. We're screwed either way.

[hanksnow82]

@ronnymexico23 True enough 

[BufirdMauhaney]

ABC did it too. Everyone is doing it. Feels natural.

[123beanybaby]

press 4, then 5 right after

[live4edits]

Hold then release "4"

[uzimodem]

you libturds do know that Geraldo is a liberal right? LOL

[NatureGnome]

not to say i really like fox news but give him a break, since this was breaking news, this was all unscripted and he definitely looks flustered.

[1Makyo]

Geraldo fails all the time on Fox News.

[gogisiu]

hahaa

[cloudwatch1]

completely on purpose... not only is his "intention to be unintentional" acting job sucked ass but it also goes on to show truly how sad fox news is. simply immature and quite frankly humiliating

[seminolegirrl]

@cloudwatch1 I agree! he's so bad at faking the mistake! didn't sound like a slip of the tongue at all..

[TheCamps10]

I hate that sound in the background...

[DragonGodXIII]

Also, they misspelled Osama

Fox is full of fail lately XD

[vinniedrums925]

It was on purpose. Fox news likes to say stuff like this. That's why NO ONE should watch fox news. watch CNN or MSNBC.

[ShadenGheist]

Pretty sad when even a Libtard like Geraldo is making Freudian slips.

LMAO!!!

[CreativeGuyKyle]

MAKES ME ANGRY I ENJOY CARTOONS PRODUCED BY FOX SO MUCH SUCH AS FAMILY GUY AND THE SIMPSONS

[mangajo]

thats the second freaking time on fox, and no other news channel. so, that means theyre total morons or are doing it on purpose. either way it makes obama look even better

[burntdream]

Please don't kill the President of the America so often at will.... Not even Osama succeeded at that.

[uzimodem]

was watching live on Fox news too when liberal Geraldo almost went orgasmic on hearing the news!!! LOL

[beaaa0125]

plus the other Fox reporter who 'accidentally' said "President Obama is indeed dead" AND the headline they had on saying "OBAMA BIN LADEN IS DEAD"? Come onnn, don't tell me this is all by accident.

[i4ill]

Another presenter from the same channel?! lol

[Neosaigo]

They are too used to attacking Obama with negative connotations.

[jgckpot]

fox should not do news. they are better at entertainment

[VolunteerLS110]

Freudian slip?

[TheRealDerfMan]

"It happened nearly a week ago...." REALLY???????? I thought this was "breaking news"...... bwaaaaaaahahahahaha!!!! First, a shady birth certificate, now this...! Hahahaha!

[Carlisle412]

USAMA bin laden is dead XD

[beaaa0125]

@Carlisle412 that is how the FBI officially spells his name, actually

[Carlisle412]

@beaaa0125 thanx, I didn't know that.

[EightDimensionFilms]

@Carlisle412 Since his name is arabic, the english version of his name can be translated as Osama or Usama.

[Carlisle412]

@EightDimensionFilms and how do they spell his name in arabic? Is it Usama originaly, then?

[EightDimensionFilms]

@Carlisle412 According to Wikipedia it's

Usāmah bin Muḥammad bin ʿAwaḍ bin Lādin

:S I thought the same thing at first but then I searched it up

[PanzerBlitz43]

The CIA supported saudis who actually planned 911 are sitting on their yachts laughing at americans right now

[VaderXtreme]

@PanzerBlitz43 you know not every saudi is a terrorist.....the large majority oppose them :L the saudi's actually had terrorists attacking them and expats, and they didnt plan it, i can assure you...i was there and i lived through it. so before u start pointing your finger at an entire nation, get your facts straight.

[SRBINnbg29untilidie]

Osama...Obama Both terrorists .. same shit ! 

[J0nD0c]

This is probably the worst case of reporting I have ever seen. First off the lady says he was bombed, then it's in an urban area. Then geraldo says Obama is dead. Then she says it was over a week ago! What the hell!?!? The entire report is totally false!!

[FastEddie368]

We killed Obama Bin Laden? Can I go back to sleep now?

[FindingTeemoGaming]

They've had multiple cases of them saying Obama instead of Osama "accidentally".

I think they're trying to say that Osama and Obama is not much different. So FOX news fuck off the president you assholes.

[nsdtr01]

twit

[TheFunny6789]

Osama...Obama

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

[FastEddie368]

Same thing right? Go back to sleep

[MTran0708]

thats fox news for you ....

[eddi194]

usama ?

XD

[LocoGroove]

Typical Fox News.

[Silvadragon]

Who the fuck spells Osama with a U?

[TheSuave99]

Fox is the shittest cheapest news channel.

[tibiasuckness]

it's obviously on purpose, assholes

[SotNist]

lol

[JattPunjabDa96]

osama not usama press 4 to lol

[Shadowcamper1383]

@JattPunjabDa96

it can be spelled both ways.

[tharoc123]

Fuck Fox news!! they said that shit not once but twice thats why i watch channel 6 action news

[AssDroidz]

First they call him Usama Bin Laden, than Obama. Wow.

[CambridgeHeights]

"But we can say, Geraldo, that it happened nearly a week ago..."

WRONG!

[kaitou55]

heh Is lama bad? xD

[Hazordousgnome]

I've done this a few times talking about Osama to my friends, i'm not holding anything against Geraldo, he is twice the reporter compared to others. He loves to be on the front lines.

[jedijones]

They don't refer to him as Bin Laden because then Geraldo would say, "Ladies and gentlement, Joe Biden is dead! ... what'd I say?"

[ihmen]

@ashhlie18 right, calling an obama fist bump a "terrorist fist bump" is totally not biased. oh yeah, dont forget when bill orielly claimed no one knows what causes the tides. yep they sure are scientific too. do i even need to mention glen beck? obama is racist?

[jablackdiamond]

@ashhlie18 I cannot believe you're saying that Fox News isn't a republican-biased network. I really don't know what planet you're living on if you can't see the republican bias on Fox.

That is the most ridiculous comment I've seen in a while. That's the problem: no one wants to admit anything, and then nothing gets solved!

[AM007009]

my econ teacher did the same today haha

[LostHighwayFilms]

its funny cus after he said that, he was like "I don't care!" lol

[TheSourTurtle]

Wishful thinking.

[tartamuditis]

USAMA FAIL

[LolUfufufu]

When I heard this, i was like "OBAMA?"

[PsychoBurgundy8]

I heard him almost say Obama was dead last night as this was happening. Geraldo Rivera really IS a complete idiot. That said, people make mistakes, and FOX News has made mistakes a LOT more severe than this on numerous occasions.

That aside, WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! OSAMA BIN LADEN IS FUCKING DEAD! WE FINALLY GOT HIS ASS! FUCK YEAH!!!!!!

[MsDarayang]

C'mon. it's pretty obvious that FOX news is a republican-biased news channel. This is not their first time calling Obama (the President of the United States) and connect it to a terrorist. Fox News, shame on you!

[mzm153]

Not sure whether to laugh or cry. Which one do you suggest?

Got too many FOX fails. Remember the one in which they thought Iraq was Egypt? ROFLMAO!!!!

[seminolegirrl]

that was totally on purpose. you could tell. ass hole.

[crustybuttcheeks]

@seminolegirrl Geraldo is like the only liberal on fox and he likes obama. not on purpose, just a mistake.

[P3t3rG1]

@seminolegirrl nice catch

[jgoose123451]

wish they were both dead! Obama is the asshole

@seminolegirrl

[pbrskater26]

@seminolegirrl

Ha ha yeah that was on purpose, Gop News what a bunch of racist hicks

[ronnymexico23]

@seminolegirrl I totally disagree that it was done on purpose. Geraldo is the most Left commentator, with the possible exception of Juan Williams, on FOX.

[seminolegirrl]

@ronnymexico23 yes but MOST left for FOX news doesn't necessarily mean liberal.

[Codemann010]

Idk why people are actually going crazy about this cause Geraldo corrected himself on this and its no big deal...

get over it, alot of people are messing it up so stop saying Fox News is stupid just cause they said a common mistake...

[TessaSupplee]

I saw this when it was live, and I was like "Um.. what did he just say?" LOL

[DaveJ721]

Geraldo gritted his teeth right after he said it, but kept going....hoping that the viewing audience hadn't noticed.

No such luck.

[DzekoVelez]

@DaveJ721 Wha tthe hell are you takling about? He paused, said "What did I say", then corrected himself and said Osama. Wtf did you hear?

[DaveJ721]

@DzekoVelez You're right, he whispered "what did I say?" but he didn't "correct himself". He just made sure he said OSAMA Bin Laden from then on.

[Codemann010]

@DaveJ721 he did correct himself.

[johnmeyer77]

Geraldo also said, last night (5/1/2011) that the pending announcement from President Obama, before it was known to be about Bin Laden, might be some sort of threat of nuclear war. Pretty much the equivalent of crying "fire" in a crowded theater, except to a million people. Journalistic malpractice, if you ask me.

[bballplayr1032]

fuck the mainstream media. fuck the government. fuck this. you guys need to wake up. you really think that osama pulled 9/11? go to lupe fiasco's words i never said music video and go to :27. On the newspaper the date is Sunday May 1st, 2011, (THE DAY THAT is assumed to be the "death of osama") That fools been dead for years. people believe fuckin anything the media feedem. its all a damn cover up

[TheBlackKnight22]

@bballplayr1032 O.o..... Fucking dumb ass -__-''
