This Friday's 20/20 might be a good show to watch!!! If nothing else to have the MTV Hillary tape exposed!! I have to give Stossel credit - he's not afraid to do the "unpopular" subjects. Do you think the books BIAS and SLANDER are having an impact???????

Maybe he was 'influenced' by those books' popularity.

I'm picturing John with his head in a lion.

Stossel.........trying to remember this guy; know the name. Is he the one that does the so-called in-depth look at issues on the news? The one that eviscerated Steve Forbes' flat tax plan with outright lies? IF that's not the same guy, apologies............

No Stossel has been attacking the media before it became fashonable to do so.

Stossel has already been vilified by his own network. If I remember correctly he had one segment pulled and another edited without his consent. It had something to do with Public Education. Not to mention the attacks from the Left-wing Radicals that he has endured. I've been a fan for a long time.

You heard about "road rage," but did you know there's no evidence of road rage increasing?

I always loved the 'black churches burning' scare of a few years ago. Are they still burning?

Yeah, I remember Black churches burning when I was a boy growing up in Queens. I never understood why anyone would paint a church black, though.

Right on. His shows are excellent. He has a way of cutting thru the hypocracy and B.S and calling peoples' bluffs.

Yep, you need to apolgize. Stossel is a right-wing libertarian who challenges his network every time he is on. He's the one that exposed the agenda of middle-school "teachers" telling kids that the environment was getting worse every day because of evil conservatives and business owners. The network (ABC?) had to censor parts of his story.

Yes, he's a good guy. He is also, I believe, a member of the Cato Institute.

And yes, leftists hate him because he loves to expose their lies. They're always trying to get him fired.

Maybe he and Britt Hume can join forces and become a media swat team. Lord knows the network news needs a a good house cleaning.
