John Stossel Leaves ABC to Join Fox News and Fox Business TVNewser

After decades as a reporter and host on "20/20" and other ABC News shows, John Stossel is leaving the network for a multiyear deal with Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network, according to TVNewser.

Stossel reportedly is going to host a weekly show on Fox Business and a quartet of hourlong specials for Fox News. He's expected to make regular appearances on Fox News Channel during daytime and primetime.

I am surprised he lasted so long at ABC

I'm hoping this means he'll be unleashed to really do what he does well: tell it like it is. ABC, meanwhile, lists further to the left.

Stossel would have been so much better a replacement for Charlie Gibson in January.

It's about time. Stossel is a real investigative reporter. There are none left on ABC, CBS, NBC or CNN for that matter. Congrats John!

Thus ensuring that I'll never see Stossel's smug demeanor again. He'll be a great fit with the right-wing propagandists at Fox -- I can see it now -- "John Stossel Reveals Obama Actually Killed His Grandma". Stossel used to be a great reporter until he found out that fairness doesn't get ratings. Bon voyage...

I AM GLAD FOX TOOK JOHN STOSSELL, HE HAS CREDIBILITY AND PEOPLE WATCH HIM.
TOO BAD ABC, YOU DID HAVE A GOOD THING GOING.
I HOPE HE GETS TO LET LOSE AND REALLY TELL IT LIKE IT IS. GO JOHN!!!!
