John Stossel, Anti-Government Ideologue [1]
Submitted by John Stauber [2] on
Disney/ABC would probably prefer that viewers perceive John Stossel as a fair and investigative journalist, but pro-industry libertarians love him as an ally and leader in their attack on virtually all government. His videos are hot sellers and money-makers with such titles as "Are We Scaring Ourselves to Death?" and "Junk Science." An ad for his latest video proclaims, "Finally, you see how private companies and associations do a great job providing water, roads, air traffic control, poor relief and other services we supposedly need government for." Stossel simply plagiarized industry lobbyist Steve Milloy [3] of www.junkscience.com [4] for one of Stossel's ABC pieces ridiculing serious dioxin contamination of our food.
