I made a mistake in the above posting. John Stossel appears on Fox Business News. Not on CNN Business news. John Stossel is definitely Libertarian. However, it was on CNN, not Fox, that the newscaster stated: “Most young people today are fiscally conservative but socially liberal or, in other words, Libertarian”. I was one of the invited Libertarians in the audience on the Stossel Show. Stossel read what I wrote on a card (without attributing it to me). Unfortunately, only one of us got to say anything, and that one mostly made a sarcastic remark. Small bits of the show have been posted on youtube.com, but only showing what one of the Republicans said and what one of the Democrats said. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ck8EWV-SnOo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAwIGBfCXFY So, the show turned out to be mostly a dud from the Libertarian point of view. Still I am not sorry I went. We were invited back to another Stossel Show the following morning. I was the only Libertarian who went to the morning show. It turned out to be on an entirely different topic. I got a bit more air time, mainly because it was snowing that morning and not many of the planned studio audience came. It will be shown on FOX Business News at 8:00 PM and 11:00 PM on Thursday, February 4 and at 9:00 PM on Friday February 5. Fox Business News is on Channel 43 in Manhattan and Channel 106 in the Bronx. John Stossel is definitely a Libertarian resource that we should use in any way that we can.
