Stossel on move to Fox Business

John Stossel writes about why he’s moving to Fox Business Network from ABC News.

Stossel writes, “My bosses often disagreed with my point of view, but they usually let me air it.

“But it was frustrating. My vision and that of my producers were often not in harmony. Too many stories I thought were important — such as the land theft called eminent domain, or the FDA’s endangering people’s lives by withholding life-saving drugs — were not aired.

“When I pushed, ABC producers often stared at me as if they were thinking, ‘Why would you want to do that?’

“So after 28 years, it’s time to move on.

“In my new job, I want to dig into the meaning of the words ‘liberty’ and ‘limited government.’ For many years, through Republican and Democratic administrations, we have been losing something vital in America: the commitment to individual liberty and the understanding that as government grows, liberty shrinks.”
