Pretty close, but you're at theocratic level conservatism. Though, you're close.

Ok good. Close is good enough.

So tell me why a television reporter that is not religious, supports legalizing all drugs, as well as prostitution, and gay marriage, and even possession of kiddie porn (not manufacturing though) won't even be touched by the liberal media, while having his own show on FOX?

I like the German World News and the Japanesse World News myself. German's are actually pretty liberal, as you can't really be conservativet here ,however conservative and liberal kind are the oppose of what they are here. Here Liberal is bigger government, more government control, more dependency on the government, and conservative is smaller government, less gov, control. more civil rights and most importantly, consitutionalist.

But Yeah German and Jap, World News. You can find them on PBS the most liberal of all stations. I wouldn't watch PBS news.

Anyone with a reasonable mind will know that the Tea Party and conservatives in general are destroying the U.S. while the Liberals are trying to bring it into the 21st century.

Stossel's the only good one in the bunch, but that makes up a grand total of 1 show and 1 segment, for only 2 years.

Also, what about Andrew Napolitano? He's a pro-life conservative libertarian, seems like a perfect fit.

Apparently he was with ABC since 1981. They seem to have touched him a lot. Are the ABC liberal media?

Did he ever try to go to other liberal media networks and get rejected before going to Fox?

So, we've got one "not conservative" policy and "quite conservative" policy. I can't say I'm 100% convinced.

He's probably saying that because his wikipage said he was libertarian conservative. Though I bet Wikipedia is liberal media. Speaking of which, I keep asking you about the liberal media and you never seem to respond.

Whatever. The liberal media has no excuse for shutting out John Stossel while FOX has given him his own show.

That speaks volumes. And that is that FOX is far more open minded.

Did John Stossel ever actually try to go to the liberal media? How do you know they shut him out?

Also, will you give me answer as to whether ABC is the liberal media. Because they seem to have gave him a lot.
