In this report, which is supposed to be done by a nonpartisan proganization trying to make sure the media is fair, there is a ton of ripping on Stossel. No one seems to support him. His book is incredible. What makes me trust him more than these people? He has very little reason to lie and deceive people. I think he is a genuinely nice person. Also, he started off as a toe tag liberal and became a libertarian. He wouldn't discredit liberal ideas that he himself had unless the liberal ideas he used to have were false. Something obviously changed his mind to make him a libertarian. He wouldn't just "decide" to change and then "mold the facts" like some of these people claim.

like he says in the book. THey loved him when he was a consumer advocate, but when he turned that same approach to government, he was a tool of the corporations he slammed. (and still does)
Yes, that's very true.
