Today's Contextualizationing

There really was a time (quite a while ago) when Geraldo Rivera was thought to be a journalist.


The very well-practiced frozen smile on Rivera's face is a dead give-away that he suspects just how irrelevant he is; and that he's afraid that that irrelevancy is about to be shown to the world.  He desperately wants to be the gutsy plucky reporter he thinks he used to be as he's almost literally running away from that guy.
