• Stossel Debunks Popular Myths

Ken in Long Island writes:Have you seen the parody of you and your Give Me a Break segment on The Daily Show? What do you think of it?

John Stossel:No, I did not know! I love the Daily Show. What do they do?

Gloria in Florida writes:Are you a member of the Libertarian Party, or do you just espouse libertarian ideals?

Stossel:I am not a member of any political party. I espouse libertarian ideals. I do think we need government, but LIMITED government. It should keep the peace, guard the coasts, run the courts and protect the environment. Then it should leave us alone. ANYTHING THAT'S PEACEFUL should be allowed.

Laura in Oregon writes:Considering ABC is part of the liberal/biased media I was wondering if you get any push back from ABC regarding your topics you discuss? It's about time for network TV to expose the truths as you do. Keep going!

Stossel:Believe me. I get plenty of push back.

Jason Hayes writes:Why don't you take on the overly conservative media … such as Fox News? Those people undyingly support and bolster anything Bush-related and do not give any credit to the Democrats or in general. It's all swayed!

Stossel:Do they? Maybe I don't watch Fox enough, but I have not seen that.
