something to do w/ this:

The following link is to John Stossel's ABC (20-20) special that was delayed by ABC until after Henry Waxman's House committee voted on HR3200. Possibly you have already seen it because, thank goodness, a lot of people have discovered it and are forwarding it to everyone they know.

A journalist is a person who practises journalism, the gathering and dissemination of information about current events, trends, issues, and people while striving for viewpoints that are not biased.

"ABC NEWS STATEMENT ON JOHN STOSSEL

John has been an important part of the ABC News family for decades and we will miss him. He has engaged, and occasionally enraged, our audience with thought provoking opinions and analysis. John is a unique figure in American journalism and will be an asset to Fox News in this next chapter of his terrific career. We wish John the very best and look forward to hearing his take on the great issues of the day from his new home at Fox."

You link doesn't work for me


He was fired? I thought he jumped ship to FoxNews because they offered more money.


Stossel great until he starts talking about things that you already have knowledge of then he's just another full of shit "You will be shocked!!! Stay tuned" jackass.

That whole "bigger picture" thing really kills the enjoyment factor.


He's amusing for common sense type stuff and anti-fad crap.

I always thought it was Geraldo that got slapped by that wrestler...is that the one where he was trying to get the wrestler to admit that it was all staged and the wrestler pimp slapped the shit out of him and asked him if it felt fake?

That is what happened, but it was Stossel, not Geraldo.

Because he's smart enough to see that Fox (is it Fox news or just Fox) is making money hand over fist and is not failing while his company is. I'm sure Dan Rather and John Stewart would show up at Fox News tommorow if they were asked him to come.

We watched a stossel video about the difference between Men and Women in my psych class and it was funny as shit. Their are some feminists that need to get laid seriously.

I like Stossel because he does offer two sides fairly well but makes it fun too. Plus he's a Libertarian but most of all I love his mustache. That is a stache of gods.
