Stossel is famous for driving libs, moonbats and DemoRATS insanely frothing-at-the-mouth stark raving mad with his revelations of the frauds behind their chronic distortions of facts to advance their agendas. This show will eventually be available on DVD and VHS videotape at http://freedomkeys.com/bkstossel.htm

The special will air during the normal 20/20 timeslot at 10pm Eastern / Pacific, 9pm Central, etc.

"Myths, Lies and Nasty Behavior."

What's he doing? A history of the Democrat party?

You'll never get ABC to admit it, but the ratings on that show make a huge upward jump every time he is on.

It also helps explain why ABC would allow a non-liberal on the air.

Excellent. Thanks for the reminder! He really cuts through the cr@p, doesn't he?

For anyone who's ever flown coast to coast across our country, it's pretty obvious that there is plenty of useable land to go around for people, habitat and animals. A good 1/3 of my state of Wisconsin is already set-aside land protected by National, State and County parks. I don't feel "squished" at all, and there's plenty of wide open or forested spaces for me to enjoy within minutes of my home.

Yes, "sprawl" isn't all that pretty, and we truly do have some ugly, ugly cities and towns in our country, but the wacko-s make is seem like we're in India or Japan or something, living one on top of each other. I don't see that, and I've lived in big cities, small towns and now on farm. There are options.

The last 20/20 I saw Stossel do, he exposed the bloated jury awards won by ambulance chasers like John Edwards and the effect they had on malpractice rates, group medical rates and the practice of medicine. The inescapable conclusion supported tort reform.

BaBaWaWa did the transition at the end of Stossel's segment and had to add sarcastically, "in your opinion, John".

I'm surprised Stossel has lasted this long on ABC. (Maybe the ratings shoot up every time he's on.)

Thanks for the heads up, I usually miss JS's shows and a few other things that most people see because I never watch ABCCBSNBC anymore.

Sorry. That network is on my boycott list until ALL of their shows learn respect for the truth.

Dittos here in Idaho. Takes only minutes to drive to an "untouched" spot to enjoy any kind of nature you desire. The wackos are always trying to take over these places. Funny thing though, if Republicans are so bad (Idaho is VERY conservative) then why do we have more unspoiled land than the liberal states do? (Oh wait, that makes too much common sense, silly me).

She is a complete idiot. I don't know how Stossel deals with coworkers lacking in critical thinking ability. She doesn't even realize how stupid she truly is.

Hmmm, I wonder if their programming analysts look at these results. Conservative programming=increase in ratings. I guest that only goes to show there is a Liberal bias in the news division at the networks. Otherwise they would be acting in the interests of the stockholders to maximize market share. I guess the stockholder could have a club to bash the Board of Directors with if this pans out. The unintended consequence of having the Board tell the network to clean house and find anchors and news people who reflect the conservative demographic would be sweet indeed. LOL Sadly, it will never happen.
