John Stossel - "Outlander of Today" (or "the Day")

My "Outlander of the Day" concept hardly has been followed up on regularly. As a default we can use Jim Wooten in my region. Nearly any of the right wingnuts shills will do for the nation. Today, still in a rush and way busy, I'll quickly give John Stossel the honor for today.

David Neiwert's Ornicus post "Weird science from the far right" gets the tip of the tam for helping me recall that John Stossel, Corporate Journalist (as named by John K. Wilson) has long been due for this honor. FAIR knows the score on ABC's Tool of the Right. Way back in early 2000, almost a year before five Supreme Court justices annointed Bu$hCo by telling Florida to stop counting votes, Salon labeled him "Prime Time Propagandist"

The Competitive Enterprise Institute (one of ExxonMobil's favorites in the "think tank" mix) even has a Support John Stossel site! I'm surprised they reveal they are involved rather than trying to create an astroturf organization.

A quick reminder of what we Lefty Progressives are facing in trying to break down all the barriers to solutions. Peace ... or War!
