John Stossel is the only libertarian MSM journalist. He's done specials on media bias, the war on drugs, and public education, and other topics. He's doing a special on American politics. It's on right now on ABC. Tune in! You'll love it!

John Stossel is ok, but sometimes he says things that just make me do a total facepalm and say "That's just no true!" or "God, that's so dumb!"

Here's part one of Jon Stossel's interview with Ron Paul: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJz81lAwY0M

I honestly believe that if this had been allowed to be aired, the primaries outcome would have been very different.....

What I really like about him is he's a prime example of how people can come around. As a consumer advocate, Stossel used to tote the "evil corporations" line until he realized that it is government's intervention in the business world that causes the majority of problems.

John Stossel brought me around to libertarianism. I saw his special on the War on Drugs, and liked what I saw. Then I read his first book, and started to get excited. Then when I heard Ron Paul talking about the proper role of government, it was music to my ears!

I believe Stossel is has done as much for this movement as Ron Paul has.

Do you have any examples of this? You know, he often plays the devil's advocate and makes some silly arguments which a typical politician might make.
