John Stossel Leaving ABC For Fox
By Chris Ariens on Sep 10, 2009 01:05 PM
John Stossel, the longtime ABC News correspondent and co-anchor of "20/20," is leaving ABC to join Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network. TVNewser has learned Stossel will host a weekly, one-hour program for the 2-year-old business channel. He's expected to signed a multi-year deal with Fox which will include regular appearances on Fox News Channel during daytime and primetime. He'll also host four, hour-long specials on Fox News, much like the business/consumer specials he'd hosted for years on ABC.
Stossel, a libertarian, has been appearing on Fox News for years as a guest on shows including "The O'Reilly Factor," "Hannity & Colmes" and "The Big Story."

now if only....
old Murdoch would kick the bucket....

Sweet! Hope he gets a good
Sweet! Hope he gets a good slot or two, and makes lots of appearances on other shows.
Plus
John appeared with the Judge & Ron Paul on the Judge's show on Wednesdays.

Why give Murdock the time of day?
He'll be the new punching bag for the aging high school bullies. Why waste your time?
So I checked out Huffpo to see what they had to say about
Stossel heading to Fox....WOW! Intolerant, intolerant, intolerant! Liberals despise anyone and everyone that do not have the SAME EXACT ideological leanings or beliefs. These people honestly can't discern the difference between someone like John Stossel and Sean Hannity. They just lump them into the same category and dismiss as radical right wing kook jobs or nutty free market anarcho capitalists...COLLECTIVISM at it's finest.
Anyone with any objectivity can surely see there are massive differences between the two....and if you can't, just watch the broadcast Stossel was on Hannity's panel. John refused to comment on things he had not personally investigated, unlike 99% of other media hacks that will spin something anyway they wish for the desired public reaction.
The party that is supposed to be the highly enlightened intellects sure have a hatred for anything that falls outside of their despotic form of political governance. It's absolutely amazing how many common bonds there are behind their line of irrational, subjective thought processing and that of the neocons.
Sorry to have had to rant....but good lord. Read the comments on the Huffpo story and you'll better understand my reaction. One of the posters stated something along the lines of "well 25 years ago he actually had some semblance of a human being"....it's just ridiculous!
I agree. It was the inevitable end result of embracing an
ideology of government force to achieve their ends, whether NeoCon or Liberal. Means are the end, they've ended up the same. Power is their game.
Fox news is jumping on the bandwagon.
by now they have realized that Ron Paul's message is the true message of the Republican Party.

Hahaha. Good one.
Hahaha. Good one. You had me going there for a second.
Horse shit.
The only bandwagon they are jumping on is the viewer numbers bandwagon. Watch and see who they don't chop up, and who they don't do hit pieces on in the 2010 and 2012 elections.
Then you will see the true agenda behind their sudden, out of the blue, front, that they are making look like some epiphany.
Yea... just a tad
I've been told on occasion. ; )
He'd Be Good On
Jesse Ventura's show. He knows how to cut through the garbage!
Hey! Sign him up.
I don't watch ABC
anymore, at least I'll get to see him now. Besides Fox needed a real Libertarian.
The DP is proof that the grassroots support for Ron Paul and his peaceful message of individual liberty is large, real, and not going away!
Fox is playing..
right into our hands. With all of this talk of Constitution, liberty, freedom, limited government and other such phrases...it only stands to reason that many people will actually learn the truth about what these phrases mean and more importantly who it is that actually stands for these principles. Many will find that it is NOT the NeoCons.
The leopards will eventually show their spots...and if NeoCons are elected in 2010...then THEY will have to back up their bull. How will they spin their message then.
Can the NeoCons sell global empire as limited government?
..should be very interesting to watch the Foxes in the months to come. They can't fool everybody!
Ronza: I believe that we have Alex Jones, Jesse Ventura, and....
Ron Paul to thank for all of the talking heads discussing the Constitution and freedom. Their respective values in terms of radio and TV ratings have all increased and the media knows this fact very well. So, Fox wants a piece of that action/money. Stossal wins getting in on the deal for being in the right place at the right time. However, Fox has to sacrifice some of "the babes" for some real substance...freedom talk.
This nucleus of Constitutionalists will hopefully get through to some sheeple. I like your take on "playing right into our hands."
This means he will be a regular guest on Freedom Watch!
Bump!
go ahead, co-opt the libertarian message
but we know the truth.
Fox is following the ratings....

ABC
I wonder if ABC dumped him. I also wonder if Fox will bury him on the internet or give him a good slot in prime time.
We'll see. I do not trust Fox. However the Business Channel seems to have some autonomy so far.
Jive_: My concerns as well.
He must have negotiated more than just a slot on the net freedom watch. A once a week prime time show would be a nice starting point for him.
ABC's ratings will slide even more now... lol

FNC - Neocon body, with a conservative face, and some ....
libertarian clothes.
I've seen John Stossel's reporting over the years and watched as he started fairly liberal, then morphed over the years into a common sense libertarian voice.
Yes, maybe we'll get to see more of his pretty thorough reporting and hope he stays on course.

Thats a great way to
Thats a great way to marginalize him and polarize the media further. Say it aint so, John.

Anything that gets John
Anything that gets John Stossel on television for more hours per week is great news. When the smoke clears folks, liberty can't win without converting sheeple by the millions. Sheeple listen to Stossel. Hope Ron, Rand, Tom Woods, Schiff, the Judge, are regular guests.
The first 5 million supporters of Dr. Paul are 'early adopters.' The next 10 million will require a modified approach.
Agreed
Thomas Jefferson once said, "The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground."
Well, I guess he called that one.
A Republic, If You Can Keep It
Well
it's better than waiting for 20/20 to put one of his specials on which are few and far between. Plus I have sworn them an enemy since they did that horrific gun piece not so long ago. By bye 20/20.

Seems
all the ones with a leaning towards some kind of conservatism are heading to Fox. Guess there is no room for them in the other broadcasting networks. Will MSNBC loose Pat Buchanan? He is the only one with a conservative bent over at that socialist site that ever gets to talk.

Maybe his recent appearances on Freedom Watch
The Judge might have talked him into it. It would be interesting to see if he is able to finally do some of the pieces that he apparently was not allowed to do on ABC. It seems to me he probably had a greater affect on that network though. Maybe he can hone in on a lot of the ignorance that thrives on Fox News and give its viewers a more educated perspective on the important issues.

Retaining his independence is my only concern with this move.
John is great. I'd hate to have him turn into the other Foxes.
