John Stossel Leaving ABC For Fox
Mediabistro ^ | SEPTEMBER 10, 2009 | Chris Ariens

Posted on 09/10/2009 10:43:31 AM PDT by RobinMasters

First on TVNewser: John Stossel, the longtime ABC News correspondent and co-anchor of "20/20," is leaving ABC to join Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network. TVNewser has learned Stossel will host a weekly, one-hour program for the 2-year-old business channel. He's expected to signed a multi-year deal with Fox which will include regular appearances on Fox News Channel during daytime and primetime. He'll also host four, hour-long specials on Fox News, much like the business/consumer specials he'd hosted for years on ABC.

Stossel, a libertarian, has been appearing on Fox News for years as a guest on shows including "The O'Reilly Factor," "Hannity & Colmes" and "The Big Story."

I wondered why his reporting had taken on another slant.

Stossel was the ONLY reason left to watch ABC. He’ll be a great addition to FOX...

Good deal. Stossel was the only one worth watching on ABC.

I've been watching Stossel for years. His "take" hasn't changed. What on earth are you talking about? Please give one example, Rummy.

I hope this works. I couldn’t stand him years ago but he has had some good articles in recent years. Maybe another recvering Dem? Besides, he’s better than whore-aldo.

Awesome! Always liked his stories, and they surprised me because I didn’t think the Commies would allow such healthy and open discussions.

"Well there goes their moderate! "

I was thinking the very same thing. This is actually bad news and ABC is losing their only reporter who's not a bed-wetting leftist. Sad day in journalism, whatever "journalism" means anymore.

I’m actually disappointed by this much as I was disappointed by Glenn Beck leaving CNN. The effect of having conservatives on other channels was clearly illustrated to me the night I stopped at a rest stop and the TVs inside were tuned, as they often were, to CNN. Glenn Beck was on with a guest and the woman behind the counter of one of the food vendors was standing there staring at the screen with her mouth hanging open because she’d never heard anyone talk about those things in that way before.

Great news, I suspect his new show will be WILDLY successful. He’s right on the money almost all the time.

If ABC had half a brain, they would have made Stossel the anchor instead of Sawyer. The timing of this is no surprise.

I’ll settle for Stossel in Jerry’s slot. Agreed?

Can’t Fox just take Stossel for Geraldo, Shep, and another annoying chatterbox to be named later?
