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.

Interesting. ....I've never written him before, but I will now.

Minnesota enacted CCW about a year ago, amidst dire predictions of gunfights in the streets and at the ballgames, etc. To my knowledge the only incident to date is a (permit holding) guy shooting his brother's car because he didn't want him driving drunk. It was on private property where he was not required to have a permit. The guy had the permit prior to the enactment, too.

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.

I'll take it!

I didn't know that Diane Sawyer was considered "too conservative" by her colleagues until I read Coulters book, Slander. Now Stossel comes out with his hour-long segment to promote his new book. ABC knows that they grabbed a significant viewership last night and I bet they're hoping it will continue.

There is a trend occurring here with television media types snuggling up to conservatives. I don't know about any of you, but I found it kind of queer that Brian Williams had great things to say about Rush Limbaugh on the day of his 15th Anniversary of the EIB Network. And just the other day, I heard Sam Donaldson trashing extreme liberals while sucking up to Sean Hannity on Sean's radio program.

Thank you, Rupert Murdoch, for setting a much needed trend.
