John Stossel to address Disney execs in Florida today

[villager]

His topic: "Blame Business? Think Again."

Just sayin'.

[Eric J in MN]

1. John Stossel is proof that being a journalist and

...accepting corporate speaking fees aren't a good mix.

[LTR]

3. He does work for Disney, though

I can't stand that weaselly bastard!

[Eric J in MN]

12. Yes, but I don't think Stossel's transformation from consumer advocate

...to corporate whore was just based on working for Disney/ABC.

I think it's the corporate speaking fees which caused the change.

Al Franken also does corporate gigs and didn't get corrupted by them, somehow.

9. John Stossel if proof that calling oneself a journalist

doesn't make it so.

[Fridays Child]

2. Two words can describe that meeting...

Circle Jerk

[proud2BlibKansan]

4. His latest rant against teachers sent me over the edge

Just stock full of misinformation and downright lies.

[lies and propaganda]

5. Give me a break!

haaaha, the Colbert that he was on was hysterical!

[bullwinkle428]

13. Couldn't believe anyone could make Colbert (the character)

actually look like the sane, moderate one, but asshat Stossel sure did it! He had no idea what a laughingstock he had made of himself!!

[seabeyond]

6. noting like having a rightie to clear the name of the company

for promoting a rightie film in the name of balance on a rightie abc channel

fuuuuuuuuuk

[malaise]

7. The same John Stossel

who denied the existence of global warming? Yep he's the right man to address the mickey mouse men of fantasyland.

[villager]

8. then he's signing his "book" -- published by Disney --

with a subhead that "everything you know is wrong."

Wanna grab a quick look in the mirror, John?

[Gato Moteado]

10. didn't a pro wrestler smack him upside the head a couple times....

...in an interview back in the 80s? i think the wrestler scrambled the guys brains.

[SpiralHawk]

11. Stossel's topic: How to spew corporate propaganda more effectively

What a sell out Stossel is. No honor. No integrity. On bended knee before the neocon paymasters.

[villager]

15. "On Bended Knee" would be a better title for his book!

n/t

[Skidmore]

14. Well, Stossel is the next best thing to a cartoon holding a

microphone there is.

[AngryOldDem]

16. It will be a big high-five, knowing Stossel n/t

[villager]

17. while he gives the rest of us the finger? (n/t)
