Give me a fucking break John Stossel!
Anyone see his segment: Give me a break?

I don't know if it's his spin or just the sound of his voice, but when he does this segment I want to cringe, 'cause it's always bloated with lies.

6. I know several older folk who became libertarians after...
the 64' Civil rights act was passed. Obviously, they don't like the government allowing equal opportunities for all.

5. I was inspired enough by the good Doctor in Mississippi that I
uttered "Go fuck yourself, John Stossel. Go fuck yourself!"

And posted it here about the same time you started this thread!

8. Who was the...
Edited on Fri Sep-09-05 10:43 PM by Mr_Jefferson_24
...professional wrestler that bitch-slapped Stossel to the floor, not once but twice, on 20/20 some years back? That was the most entertaining segment he's ever done. Stossel had asked about wrestling being fake (Wow! big revelation there!) and instantly got open-handed upside the head. He went down like ... well, like the lying little puss that he is. He got right up back and had the good judgement to pop off to the wrestler (don't remember what he said) and promptly received the open-hand massage yet a second time yielding the same result. This time Johnny-boy got up a little slower. He didn't have any more questions. Now THAT'S what I call infotainment!

10. Are you sure that was Stossel?
I thought it was Geraldo Rivera back when he was on network TV.

Of course it could have been both of them and I wouldn't mind it a bit since they both deserve frequently bitch-slaps.

9. Just remember Stossel has a special dispensation to lie on the air
Fidelity to the truth is not part of his portfolio.

12. I didn't see it (I don't watch TV very much), but have been
terribly dissapointed at what a reactionary rightwinger he's turned out to be.

I had hope for him early in his career...

13. Detials Please What did the scumsucker say?
I cant STAND Stossel. Just a on air puppet for every rich a-hole. He recently defended the charging 20 dollars for a bottle of water after the Hurricane. What did he say?
