john stossel is an idiot. even if he's right, he's still an idiot.

someday i hope to perfect a fission-like device that will fire stossel and geraldo rivera at each other in a magnetic containment tube - causing them to release all their energy in an orgasmic burst of...

...teh dumb.

And you're an ass. This was a neutral blog post, what is your problem with Stossel? Are you his ex-wife or what?

well creighto, i don't like people with the kind of forum that stossel has who lie about facts to support a political point of view:

...i don't like those who abuse the tax advantages of charitable institutions:

...i am especially ticked off by global warming deniers - and hugely more so by those who lie and use unjustified character assassination to spread the disinformation that harms us all:

but other than that - and a few dozen more things about him that i won't burden you with - he certainly has a nice mustache.

I'm sorry, but when the first accusational fact I search for from your sourced fair.org article is proven to be a blatant lie - the rest of your post (as well as your claims and positions) lose all credibility.

Stossel's errors are often so obvious that one wonders how they could have ended up on the air. In a 20/20 report on medical research (10/11/99), Stossel complained that too much funding was going to AIDS research, claiming that spending on the disease was "25 times more than on Parkinson's, which kills more people."

In fact, AIDS killed more than 16,000 people in the United States in 1999--down from 43,000 in 1995. Parkinson's, which is not itself generally fatal but contributes to other illnesses, has a mortality rate of 2 per 100,000 to less than 1 per 100,000, depending on the demographic group (BC Medical Journal, 4/01)--which works out to a death toll in the United States of less than 4,000 per year.

Maybe it is time to reconsider YOUR biased opinions?
