As of 10 December 2009, John Frank Stossel (b. 6 March 1947) was the latest mouthpiece of the right-wing to out himself by jumping from the "mainstream media" to Fox News. He claims to be a libertarian and not a right-winger. In 2000, one of his specials on organic food caused a stir, though at least he issued a correction on this one.

abstract
| - As of 10 December 2009, John Frank Stossel (b. 6 March 1947) was the latest mouthpiece of the right-wing to out himself by jumping from the "mainstream media" to Fox News. He claims to be a libertarian and not a right-winger. If you can believe it, Stossel was actually once an upstanding advocacy journalist in his early career on 20/20, exposing corruption and fraud in both the public and private sectors. In 1998, Stossel also hosted a prime time special, The Power of Belief, challenging quack, New Age, and supernatural claims. That special also featured interviews with magician-turned-skeptic James Randi. Since his conversion to Libertarianism, however, he mostly deals in Reaganism, global warming denialism, and general fact distortion. Unfortunately, due to his frequent criticism of various forms of woo, he has suckered other skeptics into appearing with him to promote his laissez-faire bullshit and denialism. In 2000, one of his specials on organic food caused a stir, though at least he issued a correction on this one.
