Anyone see the 20/20 promo for tonight?
It's hilarious. Talking about "myths" and this guy's gonna bust them for us. Apparently he's going to tell us about how the rich pay their fair share of the taxes. LOL It's absurd, and I can't wait to see what insights he's going to give me. Honestly? There's a reason I don't watch much network television, and keep my mind focused on crap like MTV, VH1 and the primetime in the daytime on TNT. Not because it's necessarily intellectually stimulating, but because it doesn't make my head want to explode. Anyone have anything to add?

3. Stossel is a weasel
He's been caught lying about things like this before, and laughs it off.

6. John Stossel is the incarnation of everything wrong with the media.
He's a fucking Geraldo wannabe.

7. Funny you should say that
that's been my impression too.

I saw the promo for tonight's show. Looks like some of it is to debunk liberal thinking, which figures, seeing that it's egomaniac, know-it-all Stossel.

8. John Stossel has a book out
decrying liberals and all they stand for:
"Give Me a Break : How I Exposed Hucksters, Cheats, and Scam Artists and Became the Scourge of the Liberal Media..."

9. Did anyone ever see the piece he did about wrestling?
It must have been 15 years ago. He went up to this really really big wrestler and said that he was a fake. It is fake, we all know that, but back then there was an image to uphold, so the big guy smacked Stossel aside the head, but good, and he went down like a sack of potatoes. It was shocking to see then, but now it's just really funny. Stossel clained his ear was damaged, was going to sue, but I think nothing came of it. It's possible that he was in on the act, but the way he scurried off like a frightened weasel makes me think no.
