I wondered what took so long. Birds of a feather flock together, kinda like Obama and his Chicago friends.

...we need to have more voices for our side outside of Fox News

In a more perfect world maybe. For an example given today's reality look at Beck before Fox versus where he is now.

Maybe Fox can give Whoraldo to ABC.

I only caught him on Youtube. I loved him when I had TV (before 1997).

Naturally, it will still be only Youtube stuff though.

I’ll bet that he has been frequently frustrated at ABC by not being allowed to many pursue stories he wanted to.

” Let me add here. Fox could then send O’Reilly to ABC “

No deal — ABC wanted Oreilly, Geraldo, six draft choices, and an undisclosed amount of cash for Stossel....

Which is why Fox had to wait until Stossel could go free-agent....

So now every non-lefty person in media is going to be pushed to Fox, where they can easily be discredited and diminished? Wonderful.

Well, MSNBC (PMS-NBC) has decided to to full-on lefty...are they discredited?

The leftward tilt in practically every other print/electronic outlet was taken for granted...were they discredited?

I don’t like Stossel. He doesn’t belong at FOX.

Just off hand - why?

especially that health care special. I think that was the turning point

Glad to have him at Fox! FNC will allow John Stossel the chance to do the kind of expose shows that today, maybe more than ever before, need to be done.

John Stossel has poked holes in gun control, govt run schools, govt run health care and all the other sacred cows in the past but only in 10 minutes segments. Plus, the money is probably better too.

Look for Lou Dobbs to arrive @ FOX as soon as his contract is up with CNN.

Fox Business just signed Imus, Dobbs would probably go there first, before they tried to squeeze him into Fox News. Unless, of course, the powers-that-be decide to shake up the entire line-up!

With Stossel...isn’t Fox like the New York Yankees of 1927...and Stossel is merely a lowly-ranked “Mickey Mantle” next to Gehrig and Ruth?

I don’t see how CNN will be able keep viewers over the next three years. If Larry King exits at any point...they lose half their concrete viewers.

Wish they'd give him O'Rielly's slot.

Well you don't mess with success and O'Reilly is, if nothing else, successful. I thing Stossel will eat into Geraldo's airtime.

Well, the establishment in this country is left, so of course not. (Although, I will say, I don't think MSNBC is all that respected).

It is not a good thing to have some kind of conservative ghetto.
