Stossel hasn't changed with move to Fox Business

Sam Allis of the Boston Globe reviews the new John Stossel show on Fox Business Network, noting that they host goes after the same targets he attacked while at ABC.

Allis writes, “The classic Stossel moment came when he produced an electric golf cart he acquired for the exact amount of money as its federal tax subsidy for alternative energy vehicles. In other words, these things are free, and he wonders why the taxpayers should be subsidizing golf carts.

“At the end of the show, we learned that the libertarian solution to global warming is wealth creation. As poor countries become richer, the theory goes, the better they will be able to improve the quality of life of their poor. This is a fine idea but beside the point.

“Stossel, meanwhile, continues his merry crusade to demolish conventional wisdom. That many find him wrong has never slowed him down. He revels as he infuriates. But it would be nice in his new show to see him go after the ultimate government absurdity, the Pentagon.”
