John Stossel and 'Stache Leaving '20/20'

[NikolaC]

Longtime '20/20' sleuth John Stossel is leaving ABC after a 28-year run on the Friday night news magazine. He'll be moving over to Fox Business Network
for his own weekly one-hour program starting in October, he has confirmed on his blog.

"It's time for a change," he exclaimed. "In one month, I leave ABC News."

Stossel, who joined '20/20' in 1981 and upgraded to co-anchor in 2003, will also make regular appearances on Fox News Channel. An opening in his ABC contract allowed him to jump ship for Fox, where he is expected to sign a multi-year deal. He won't be an unfamiliar face to the Fox faithful. The outspoken Libertarian has been a frequent guest on 'The O'Reilly Factor' and 'The Big Story.'

"I'm grateful to ABC News for allowing me to do stories that challenged conventional wisdom, and occasionally enraged many of its viewers. But it's said that everyone should change jobs every 7 years. I've been at ABC for 28 years ..."

5. Keith calls it the Fox "Out of Business" news channel

with an average of 21,000 viewers. I understand they just hired Don Imus, too. I guess Delay and Blaj-Rod are next!

6. 'Stache". lol, not the 'stache'

[tularetom]

8. BWAH-HA-H-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!!! Before I even read the text,

my reply was going to be "How soon before we hear he's joined Faux News?"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Ugh...I just realized he's going even lower than that - the Fox Business Network!! Guess what, 'stache...that sound you just heard was your career going down the shithole!

[WI_DEM]

9. well he's going to the right network for him.

[imdjh]

10. He'd have to try extra hard to be as annoying as Keith Morrison.

11. Whenever any news organization flushes the toilet, the shit is piped straight to Fox News.

It's the truth.

CNN flushes its toilet, and Beck floats over to Fox.
MSNBC flushes its toilet, and Tucker is now floating up at Fox.

Check it out. Whether its printed or broadcast or cable media, when the toilets flush, the shit goes to Fox.

And it's not just journalism. Whenever the American people flush the toilet at election time, the former politicians float over to Fox where they become consulting turds.

Flush you toilet tonight and what you discarded might be a talking head at Fox tomorrow.

The shit goes straight to Fox.

13. ROFL!!!!

But you nailed it right on the "head".......LOL!

[David Zephyr]

16. I thought that was funny, myself.

And it's true. Someone should expand on it, Buff2:

Instead of 'don't let the door hit your ass on the way out' it should be, 'flush twice, it's a long way to Fox News."

[scarletwoman]

17. Whoaa, man. That's deep.

Seriously! :smoke:

[David Zephyr]

22. It's funny 'cuz it' the truth.

:hi:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

18. Brilliant!

:rofl:

Pox News is the terminus of other cable stations' sewers, and that's where the smelliest turds float to the surface.

[David Zephyr]

23. Giggle.

It's so friggin' true, isn't it? :rofl:

[Raine]

20. ain't it the truth!

on point with that! :thumbsup:

[David Zephyr]

24. You might say that Fox "News" talking heads have "potty mouth"

Thanks.

[Raine]

21. Self-Delete

Dupe

[SoxFan]

12. What the hell is Fox Business Network?

Is that Channel 478 on the Digital Nitwit Package?

[AllenVanAllen]

14. He should feel right at home at Fox.

He has to take his obnoxious stache with him. It's where his power resides.

[SpiralHawk]

15. What a Poopyhead Propaganda Pimp this Republicon stooge is

At least on Fox no one will mistake that Stossel is an overpaid anti-American Homelander propagandist.

[Raine]

19. HURRRAAAYYY it's about time

he went where he's always belonged! :bounce:
