What if a TV show took on the issues of the day with an audience full of those who oppose the host’s and guest’s views, but with no yelling, no talking over each other, and where the folks in opposition are happy and clapping hard at the end?
No “what if” anymore… just watch Stossel on the Fox Business Channel on Thursday evenings.
Last night’s show focused on how Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged, while prescient in its time (50 years ago), didn’t envision how much farther government intervention in our lives would actually be these days.
Stossel has a unique style. He talks less. He asks probing questions and lets his guests answer. He explicitly seeks out hostile audience members and then takes a polite, deft, stiletto to their views. They squirm but know he treats them fair.
Stossel educates with wit, intellect and facts.
Watch it!
And if you don’t get Fox Business… ask your cable / satellite provider for it.
And if they won’t, switch.
And if you don’t switch… well, I guess you can read his columns.
