The dude is rational.
Award-winning journalist John Stossel is joining FOX News Channel
That’s because he has intregrity and does not want anyone think he is part of the obammunist media
And there goes the last reason to ever watch a State-Run media program. Well now they have extra segments on 20/20 to bash conservatives, Christians, gun owners, meat eaters, car drivers, lovers of liberty, etc, etc.
If Fox can sign Lou Dobbs over from CNN, there will be no reason to watch any other news channel, mainstream or cable....
Like I would never have seen this coming in a million years, after how well he has been treated at ABC.
Good for him.
Outstanding. Now if they could get rid of Whorealdo I could start watching FOX again.
Besides, there’s only so much mustache one network can handle.
One can dream, yes?
John Stossel is a good one.
Integrity.
He’s one of the few I like watching.
Fox news is like the republican party in general ie they try to have everyone in it, even if they’re terrible.
