I guess he was sick of the liberals pushing him around over there.

Well it is Fox Business, so I won't feel as guilty if I tune in.

But I probably won't watch anyway.

Perfect.  Another guy with his own "facts".  The rubes and bumpkins will love it.

JS, what "facts" do you think Stossel has made up?  I am just curious. I have seen a couple of his specials (I don't recall on what now, in another senior moment), and thought they were quite well done and thought provoking.

Growing up, Stossel was my favorite part about 20/20.

Hugh Downs was the only good part of 20/20. I stopped watching when he retired. Stossel is a pompous twit.

I'm not his biggest fan, but I do like his style of critical journalism... you don't see it much anymore.  He should have stayed where he would stick out a bit rather than just becoming another conservative talking head.

That's actually a fair point.
