"John Stossel, anchor of the ABC News program 20/20, is a rarity among the ranks of American media personalities. He's a skeptic when it comes to everything except freedom. ... Over the years, he has made a very good career in TV journalism, poking holes in the self-inflated posturing of union leaders, environmental zealots, businessmen who demand government favors, and, most of all, politicians."
