Left-wing political commentator Geraldo Rivera is back with a new gig.
After being reportedly fired from the Fox News network Rivera will now be joining News Nation as a senior-level correspondent on the cable news channel.
Despite the widespread reports claiming that Rivera was fired from Fox’s “The Five” program, Rivera continues to claim that he quit the network on his own.
Whether or not this is true I cannot say, what I can say is that Rivera is set to begin his new position at News Nation immediately.
News Nation announced on Wednesday: “News Nation, America’s fastest-growing cable news network in primetime, today announced Geraldo Rivera will join the channel as correspondent-at-large, effective immediately.”
CHICAGO, IL (February 14, 2024) — @NewsNation, America’s fastest-growing cable news network in primetime, today announced @GeraldoRivera will join the channel as correspondent-at-large, effective immediately.

Rivera responded to the announcement: “Delighted to be joining the terrific News Nation team. They’re kicking butt with original reporting beholding to no party or ideology. These are perilous times in our bitterly divided country. As I have for 54 years, I stand with the militant moderates, patriotic and independent.”
