Asking someone in the media about liberal bias is like asking a fish about water. 'Huh, what are you talking about? Where is it?'

More quotes by John Stossel
David Boaz has been my guide to the history, economics, and politics of freedom for years.
John Stossel
I was a closet stutterer.
John Stossel
Prosperity comes from leaving people free in a legal system that respects their persons and property so they can pursue their dreams while taking responsibility for their actions.
John Stossel
A thousand restaurants close every month. They re-open, and that's good for America. Nobody's rescuing them. They employ people, too. If we let them go bankrupt, the factories don't go away, the creative people don't go away. They get employed more productively by others.
John Stossel
I was bullied as a kid, and I got a job on television. And I had a camera. And so I wanted to go after those business bullies. And I just have been following that instinct.
John Stossel
I never wanted to be an anchor for 25 years, and suddenly I wanted to be one.
John Stossel
Government has no money of its own. All it does is take resources from one group and given them to another.
John Stossel
Madoff's scam was small compared to Ponzi schemes the government itself runs: Social Security and Medicare.
John Stossel
Fraud will always exist. Enforcement of anti-fraud laws is a useful deterrent, but in the end there's no substitute for investor vigilance. Government regulations provide a false sense of security - and that's worth less than no sense of security at all.
John Stossel
The politicians should not tell the people to shut up.
John Stossel
A system that rewards politicians skilled at campaigning - which is the art of creating an illusion - and that puts hundreds of billions of coerced taxpayer dollars at the disposal of the winners will tend to attract men and women with a comparative advantage in manipulation.
John Stossel
What private property does is connect effort to reward, creating an incentive for people to produce for more. Then, if there's a free market, people will trade their surpluses to others for the things they lack. Mutual exchange for mutual benefit makes the community richer.
John Stossel
Private businesses ought to get to discriminate.
John Stossel
The happiest stutterers, I learned, are those who are willing to stutter in front of others.
John Stossel
A handful of people who probably never even ran a small business actually think they can reinvent the health care system.
John Stossel
The political class can't imagine a decentralized world where good things happen...without them. But in the real world, that's exactly how good things happen, and how jobs are created. When government sets simple rules that everyone understands and then gets out of the way, free people create jobs.
John Stossel
Where I live in Manhattan and where I work at ABC, people say conservative the way people say child molester.
John Stossel
I'm a libertarian. It's a terrible word.
John Stossel
The one thing I've learned is that stuttering in public is never as bad as I fear it will be.
John Stossel
Government has no wealth of its own. Before it gives anything to anyone, it must take from those who produced it.
