@Fermion5 I know more about Ayn Rand than you will ever know. I think Ron Paul is the only person running for president that makes sense. I think the FED should be abolished. I believe in personal responsibility. I don't believe that government creates or solves anything. I own guns and believe everyone should have the right to defend themselves. I believe in private property. I BELIEVE IN GLOBAL WARMING. It's a fact and has nothing to do with being left or right.

I am a Libertarian. I refuse to vote for any democrap or rethuglican.  Global warming is real. Just because I believe global warming is real. And for the record, I think most tree huggers are nuts. I also believe in the right to bear arms and that Obama is the worst president you could ask for. And, Stossel is a jerk.

Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR) and Media Matters for America (MMfA), have criticized Stossel's work. Stossel was criticized for a segment on his October 11, 1999, show during which he argued that AIDS research has received too much funding, "25 times more than on Parkinson's, which kills more people." FAIR responded "In fact, AIDS killed more than 16,000 people in the United States in 1999," whereas Parkinson's averaged "a death toll in the United States of less than 4,000 per year."

In 2001, the media watchdog organization Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting criticized Stossel's reportage of global warming in his documentary, Tampering with Nature, for using "highly selective...information" that gave "center stage to three dissenters from among the 2,000 members of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change,

Stossel also does not believe in global warming despite the FACT that almost every reputable scientist on the planet does.

Stossel is not a true libertarian. He is a Faux News lying bag of crap.

@Fermion5 A February 2000 story about organic vegetables on 20/20 included statements by Stossel that tests had shown that neither organic nor conventional produce samples contained any pesticide residue. Stossel reiterated his claim. Later, after a report in The New York Times confirmed the Environmental Working Group's claims, ABC News suspended the producer of the segment for a month and reprimanded Stossel.
