    More often hit and miss

    September 21, 2007
    Ok, John Stossel sometimes comes across a great story but just as often seems a voice for big business and industry (I wonder how much he makes from that source, in charitable contributions of coarse). In his show healthcare in America where his co - host is obviously absent, the theme of the show is that out of control medical cost are just fine, people don’t need to see doctors as often as they do, or that employer sponsored healthcare is not needed or wanted. I wonder who provides health coverage for Mr. Stossel and his family or does he pay for it out of his own pocket as he proposes for people that make 300% less money? Or the thing to attack to catch a predator, why oh why would someone attack a way to catch a pedophile? Granted sometimes his stories are heartfelt and interesting, but other times, it midis well be a PR representative from what ever industry you choose speaking. It ceases to become relevant news and more an editorial. Back in the Era of Communism and the former USSR, they had a saying. The news is not always the truth, and the truth is not always the news. Though it’s sad to say I think the same applies to 20/20 at the moment. So while they have some good reporting and vibrant subjects from time to time I am afraid for the stories that have been run for the last few years it’s become something to be taken with a grain of salt. Is there such a thing as unbiased truthful journalism anymore? I sure for one hope that its not become a thing of the past, I don’t want a liberal view, or a conservative view, I just want the news and then be able to draw my own conclusions from there. Well, that’s my 2 cents. Thank you :)

    Greatest Story Ever Told

    December 17, 2006
    Your report was biased as usual. Those of us who have faith and believe the teachings of Christ, your report merely supports Christ's own words that there will always be those who desire to undermine his divinity. He also stated it would increase as we approach the time when God will correct the situation. Thank you. "To die is gain to live is Christ"-St. Paul.

    John Stossel is the ONLY honest journalist on TV

    September 28, 2007
    John Stossel is honest and simply provides the facts. He points out the lies and liars like Michael Moore. It is really amazing that ABC allows him on the air - he must be the token conservative for them. This way they can say they are not biased. Lucky for us because he is the ONLY journalist who states the facts only and is not afraid to point out the absurdity in this country with many issues. I simply loved his take on teachers and the absurdity of them complaining about their exhorbitant salaries. Way to go, John!

    No More ABC for Me.

    September 8, 2007
    I had watched your show that lambasted NBC Dateline and Chris Hansen for running the program: "To Catch a Predator." I'm deeply apauled at the airing of your program critizing the way Chris Hansen and NBC handle the latest prgram. Instead of complimenting them for bringing these , as John Walsh would say; "creeps" to justice, your network openly decided to get on the side of this Texas Attorney General, appropiately named Roach, who says that NBC went to far. Well, I say "Hogwash." Just because some Asst. states attorney kills himself because of the shame he brought on himself (and he didn't have the guts to face his shameful deeds), ABC decides to go after NBC. I praise Chris Hansen and NBC for taking a role in catching these "Predators" as they are rightfully called. Guys like this need to be shamed. What would have happened had there been a real 12,13, or 14 year old at one of these places? It is about time a Network takes on some of the Immorallity that is growing by leaps and bounds in this country. By the way, Isn't the U.S. the biggest producer of pedophiles oversees, also.
    Why is it okay to have stings for prostitutions? And why is it okay to have stings for drug dealers? And why is it okay to have stings for terroists? Why is NBC getting blatsed for having a sting against these terrorist? They terrorize our beloved children!!! If there is no more child porn for these sexually deviate adults to view, maybe they wouldn't get off on our children. When will it all stop? If the police can't handle the overload of all the predators out there, then who will??? But thanks to ABC's airing of this program, it makes it look like your the hero and Chris Hansen & NBC are the villians. Well, I'm sure all those who have been caught on: "To Catch a Predator" are all cheering your station on.To the people who say: "NBC went to far" , all I can say is go talk to the victi All I can say is, you can have them, I'll take my viewing elsewhere. To all the people who say that NBC went to far, all I have to say is go talk to one of the victims of these families. We feel way to sorry for the pepetrators in our society and don't give a hoot about the victims. It's about time this society starts to change or it will get worse.

    (I doubt if this will get aired on your network.)

    liberals are cheap? John S and his right w. agenda

    November 29, 2006
    only a narcist like John likes to tell people that he gives so so much money to charity. I don't believe any reporting John S does. I wonder how many researchers he passed on untill he found the ones that met his right wing agenda. I can come up with a research that says conservatives give less then others. I just need a show like John to manipulate my findings. Maybe next time he'll come out and say that the war in Irak is good for our economy.
