I heard ABC management and the others on that show really dislike his commentary--but they have to acknowledge that his segments bring in some of the most postive e-mails, letters, and faxes to the show. Translation: they hate his politics but he is good for ratings.

I don't think John Stoessel has any politics. He simply is an extreme rarity: an honest, brilliant, fiercely independent mainstream investigative reporter. THAT'S what the liberal news editors hate about him.

"He simply is an extreme rarity: an honest, brilliant, fiercely independent mainstream investigative reporter. THAT'S what the liberal news editors hate about him."

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

I've seen Stossel throw out some real trash in these segments, as well. Anyone remember the hatchet job he did on alternative tax proposals; i.e. flat tax, NRST, etc.? Pathetic.

I also find it supremely sad when we are forced to heap praise upon a mainstream network reporter who actually told the truth. That's all he did.........and it's like the Second Coming. Consider this a statement on the nature of today's "news" networks rather than a criticism of FR, folks.
