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.

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