Media types often have a habit of masking their true beliefs in their online blogs in attempt to maintain the fiction that they are "unbiased." One such blog that comes to mind is the Daily Nightly blog of Brian Williams in which he attempts (not always successfully) to hide his liberal bias to an extent that it comes off as quite inane. In fact, your humble correspondent has labeled the Williams blog as the Daily Dully.
In stark contrast to the Williams ennui is the new John Stossel blog of ABC News, John Stossel's Take, which began less than two weeks ago. And in that short time, Stossel has already made waves with his amazingly candid views which frequently run counter to the liberal conventional wisdom. An example is Stossel's blog edition posted last Friday titled, Arrogance:
As I read about the President’s new econ regulatory plans, I marvel at the arrogance. I doubt whether any president, with all his advisers and cabinet officials, is capable of overseeing something as complex as the financial system of a great economy.

PING!
Good to see! I love John Stossel.
John needs a show like that.
Stossel has a blog, what a great find!
I might be his FIRST subscriber on Bloglines. I don’t see any number listed. So am I the FIRST?
(That said; there must be another name for 'coventional wisdom' when referencing what is 'Liberal Think'. They certainly do not access 'wisdom'; and they are not conventional./lol. . .although, we do live in an Liberal 'upside/down' world; and so in that vein; perhaps it does work.)
p.s. Thanks for the ‘heads up’. . .will be checking it out.
I’m just disappointed that it can only be reached thru the ABC website.
Love the Stoss.
Stossel is awesome...
John’s a libertarian. The cool things about him is he thinks GOVERNMENT IS A JOKE. So True
And yes; it his Libertarian position on 'legalizing drugs' - like Glenn Beck - whom I also appreciate as a 'great American' - but cannot find any merit in that position.
That said. . .John, like Beck; is a 'great American', also.
