Geraldo: Media 'looks foolish' for promoting 'loathsome creature' Michael Avenatti, as attorney sentenced
Fox News
As disgraced firebrand anti-Trump attorney Michael Avenatti was sentenced to 30 months in prison for a multi-million-dollar scheme to extort Nike, Fox News correspondent-at-large Geraldo Rivera remarked that he has hurt the credibility of his longtime admirers in the mainstream media.
Rivera called Avenatti, 50, a "former media darling" against a montage of mainstream figures gushing over the fiery lawyer, who most notably represented porn actress Stormy Daniels in her case against former President Donald Trump. Former Jeb Bush adviser Ana Navarro, a frequent guest host on "The View", called Avenatti "like the Holy Spirit" when he appeared on the ABC talk show. "[You're] all places at all times," Navarro said of the Sacramento, Calif., native during an August 2018 episode.More Related News
