32. Stossel really belongs there. He is cut from the same mold
I never watch his show. Murdoch is pulling them all in for a major frontal attack against Dems and others. It's up to us to fight back.

7. This isn't much of a surprise, now, is it?
He will fit in well over there.

Goodbye and good riddance.

8. Yeah - what the hell took him so long?
He's been FOX-like for so long it's amazing. He sold out years ago - he was once a decent consumer advocate and a comparatively fearless investigator - but over the year he just got more and more in the tank for reich-wing media.

Good riddance.

It's a shame Dogbert never defeated him.

9. Good for ABC - he was giving them a really bad reputation.
Stossel will be much happier on Fox and so will I. I don't watch Fox.

FYI: Fox Bidness Channel has less viewers than The Young Turks podcast.

16. That was on the cards for a long time. He was increasingly becoming bat shit crazy
I wonder how long it will take Jake Trapper to join him.

20. WOW! ABC just became 10% more watchable & FBC is already 100% unwatchable, so no one gets hurt with
his arrival.

26. That's where he belongs - at least he won't have to hide his rightwing stripes
His latest healthcare reform segment on 20/20 was so biased it was laughable. He compared going to the doctor to shopping in a grocery store and said something like, "and you don't want government telling you what fruits to buy!"

27. FINALLY he goes where he has belonged all along
maybe now 20/20 will become semi-watchable. Now get Dobbs over to Faux too!

31. Lou Dobbs should be next. If they can afford him.
Murdoch can afford 'em all, and they all belong in the Faux News sewer.

36. If there's one good thing to be said about Fox News and Fox Business,
it's that they seem to be acting like a giant magnet that just sucks in all of the right-wing trash on all of the other networks.

It's one step closer to them being the media equivelant of a vault you dump radioactive waste in.
