John Stossel Leaving ABC For Fox

First on TVNewser: John Stossel, the longtime ABC News correspondent and co-anchor of "20/20," is leaving ABC to join Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network. TVNewser has learned Stossel will host a weekly, one-hour program for the 2-year-old business channel. He's expected to signed a multi-year deal with Fox which will include regular appearances on Fox News Channel during daytime and primetime. He'll also host four, hour-long specials on Fox News, much like the business/consumer specials he'd hosted for years on ABC.

Stossel, a libertarian, has been appearing on Fox News for years as a guest on shows including "The O'Reilly Factor," "Hannity & Colmes" and "The Big Story."

Stossel joined "20/20" in 1981 and was upped to co-anchor in 2003. TVNewser has learned there was a window in Stossel's ABC contract which allowed him to jump to Fox.

I've never watched him on ABC, but have seen him as a guest on FNC.  Are there any sane reporters left at ABC?

He was probably the last one.  I have seem some stuff he's done of RKBA issues over the years, which was extraordinarily fair, amazing that MSM even showed it.

That is great news.  I really like Stossel.  He is one of the few who will actually report both sides of a story.

I have and have read 2 of them.  I don't know if he has any more than that but they were awesome.
