Didn't need to. He said the same in his first book eight years ago.

No more than the hypocrisy on that website. Their writer said

So it seems that Stossel’s newly-found dislike of FEMA likely came at a time when only other people want to utilize it.

If the writer knew the first thing about Stossel he (and you) would have known that there's nothing "new-found" about it. He said then (2004) that yes, even though he opposed it, he too was a welfare queen. He figured that, principles or not, he would be a fool to turn down free money when someone contacted him first and offered it.

John Stossel got his start on ABC with the very first investigative TV news show, 20/20. He was praised to high heaven by Ralph Nader and friends when he went after corporate shenanigans. As soon as he turned that same camera on government games those same people started calling him a "traitor" and "corporate shill". In fact nothing changed but the target.

I would say in this case it's the Liberals who chide Stossel's "new-found" dislike who are the hypocrites, and you guys are buying right into it without even checking the facts.
