Former Fox News contributor and co-host Geraldo Rivera said he would be a “good fit” for a permanent position at CNN.
For 22 years, the 80-year-old was a fixture on Fox News, where he often butted heads with the more conservative hosts and commentators. Rivera has made nearly a dozen appearances on rival cable station CNN since leaving that outlet in June. The publication asked Rivera if he might be planning to work more permanently for his former competitor.
“I think it would be a good fit,” he reportedly texted about the possibility, according to the New York Daily News.
On July’s episode of ABC’s “The View,” the veteran host admitted that he should have quit Fox News sooner but lacked the guts to do so. Rivera said that she had a “toxic” relationship with a coworker at Fox News and that the troubled network went through “a moral crisis” after the 2020 presidential election due to the dissemination of false information that led to various lawsuits.
In July, Rivera interviewed former CNN host Chris Cuomo on NewsNation for his first primetime appearance since departing Fox News. Cuomo remained with Fox News “for the money,” according to Rivera, who mentored him.
