I made the New York Times last week. It even ran my picture. My mother would be proud.
Unfortunately, the story was critical. It said, "Critics have leaped on Mr. Stossel's speaking engagements as the latest evidence of conservative bias on the part of Fox."
Which "critics" had "leaped"? The reporter mentioned Rachel Maddow. I wouldn't think her criticism newsworthy, but Times reporters may use MSNBC as their guide to life. He also quoted an "associate professor of journalism" who said my speeches were "'pretty shameful' by traditional journalistic standards." All this because I spoke at an event for Americans for Prosperity (AFP), a "conservative advocacy group."
It is odd that this is a news story. In August, AFP hired me to do the very same thing. I give the money to charity. The Times didn't call that "shameful."
But in August, I worked for ABC News. Now, I work for Fox. Hmmm...

Hmmmm indeed.
A conservative being allowed to speak about conservatism: FOR SHAME!!!
John needs to start speaking at those Americans for Poverty conferences that the democrats keep pushing for.
John, Welcome to the light. ObiReagan would be proud to call you a true American Journalist.
While at ABC, Stossel spoke to this same group several times and nobody said a word about it.
Liberal “Argument” Technique:
1) Spew hateful labels at a target.
2) Damn the target based on the hateful labels.
Stossel is a self professed Libertarian. There is a difference.
Yes, he’s a Liberterian. But he’s a straight shooter, whose work I’ve always admired, and he’s helping to educate people of the perils of big government. That makes him just fine in my book.

It's about IDEOLOGY ...
