The Double Standard About Journalists' Bias

- By John Stossel

I made The New York Times last week. It even ran my picture. My mother would be proud.

Unfortunately, the story was critical. It said, "Critics have leaped on Mr. Stossel's speaking engagements as the latest evidence of conservative bias on the part of Fox."... Read full article »

    Excellent article, Stossel makes some very good points in regards to the influence of the media, and the biases they hold.

    It is all good and well to let the media do the reporting; we go too far when we let the media do the thinking.

    Just another case of kool aide thinking. As long as you're one of the good ole boys, you're in the clique. Stossel has been around for many years and was accepted by many; now a member of FOX, he's 'contaminated' , and not longer 'unbiased'.
    Ah, to discredit those with objective views.

    This is truly becoming a lot more noticed lately, the anti- Right bias in the "media" has been there for a while!

    No one minded when he was at ABC with the exact same speaking engagements - they care now that he is on FOX. Disgusting

    Quote from article:

    "Then, gradually, I figured out that business, for the most part, treats consumers pretty well. The way to get rich in business is to create something good, sell it for a reasonable price, acquire a reputation for honesty and keep pleasing customers so they come back for more."

    If researched, we will find businesses treat people much better than governments do :o)

    It appears that as long as Stossel was promoting big government he was a star yet when he critized big government they deemed him an idealog.

    The real issue here is rugged individualism vrs big government. The msm thinks a nanny state is necessary for the survival of this nation because the of the marxist propoganda fed them in our halls of higher learning.

    Capitalism is rugged individualism and is in fact the economic engine of this country that has brought us great proserity. This is what John Stossel champions and now he is demonized by the left wing msm because he joins the most prosperous cable news channel in the business and by who, the idiots that that promote big government and are failing in the news business...
