Say it ain’t so, John. In case you haven’t heard, John Stossel , a fixture at ABC for about thirty years, and for some of that time the network’s libertarian gadfly, has finally jumped ship to FOX . No doubt he’ll feel more at home there, maybe more that I thought he would. During one of his pieces on Bill O’Reilly’s show the other night, Stossel was discussing health care with O’Reily, wherein Stossel agreed with O’Reilly that government must play some role in providing healthcare to the poor. Now no one should be surprised that populist republican O’Reilly thinks this is a good idea, but how can someone who calls himself a libertarian endorse this. I’m familiar with the concept of a “small l” libertarian, but this “l” is too small to see-very disappointing. FOX is the best game in town, but is it too much to hope for that a “big L” outlet will appear someday?
Don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure just his mustache thought the government must play some role in providing health care. Stossel, it seems, is still undecided.
