I've read both of Stossel's books, and he's one of my favorites. In his first book he recounts how as long as he was showing bad business practices he was the darling of the left, but as soon as turned the same critical camera eye on bad government practices they started giving him names like "traitor" and "corporate whore". Stossel is as honest as they come, even talking about taking government money when his beach house was wrecked by a storm: "I think that kind of practice is wrong, but I also think I'd be stupid not to take the help when offered; so I, too, am a welfare queen."
:rotfl:

Love the guy, and wish him all the best at his new job.
