Geraldo Shocks the World with Pictures of Anna Nicole Smith's Dead Son
uploaded by kellietag28
Geraldo Rivera shocked the world tonight when he showed the picture of Anna Nicole Smith clutching her dead son Daniel Smith a short while after he died in the hospital room where she had just given birth to her baby girl, Dannielynn. Howard K. Stern had shared with the world just days before on Larry King Live that he had taken the pictures at Anna Nicole’s request.
Saturday, Ford Shelly turned copies of this picture along with some video tapes of Anna Nicole Smith to Geraldo to share with the world. Ford Shelly gave a different account of how the gruesome picture came about though. Ford Shelly's father, C. Ben Thompson, claimed that Howard K. Stern took the pictures stating that this would be worth money some day. C. Ben Thompson denied Mr. Sterns’s stating that Anna Nicole Smith never asked Howard to take the photos.
Ford Shelly said he planned on turning the tapes over to authorities so they can be used for an investigation into the death of Anna Nicole Smith.

Sad beyond words ... Bad in so many ways... There's a cable studio in hell for people like Rivera. He's gonna really LOVE his first assignment.

I agree, this is very sad.

Yes, sad indeed making money off a dead mother and son, as DenseAtoms stated there will be a hell for the likes of Riveria, Howard K.Stern, Maury Povich and others who titillate for ratings at the expense of the dead or defenceless, regardless if they took the money, as in the case of Povich who is the Condescending Entertainment ICON of showcasing the Deformed, the mentally challenged, the destitute for his ratings using money as the lure to allieviate his involvement in sleaze. Why News Anchor Connie Chung sees in this man to marry this guy is beyond me. Strange Bedfellows indeed. Satan will certainly enjoy their company.

I wish I could flag stuff on TV as "incomplete"... Most of us have no
real problem with graphic material in the news, as long as it serves
the purpose of a newsworthy story. In this case, I can't help but see
these images as trying to squeeze more juice from a story that's come
and gone: it hurts what's left of a family, and it doesn't really bring
any societal benefit.
(edit: originally I gave this the wrench, which was simply user error on my part- I had clicked the wrong button! Sorry 'bout that)

But just a question still remains: who gave Geraldo THAT picture? I would not be surprised if it was INDEED Howard K. Stern. Do you really think that he loved Anna or Daniel or even Danielynn Hope? Give me a break! So I do not think we have to blame Geraldo (after all he wants to make some news because he is WORKING for television) but that Stern guy. When I saw his appaerance around Anna...I always knew that guy was only a money lover and a no good...Sorry but that is my opinion!
