While plenty of people are paying attention to the Obama administration’s assertions that Fox News is “ideologically predisposed against Obama and his agenda,” fewer have noticed that the host of a new show on Fox Business will appear at town hall meetings in Arkansas sponsored by Americans for Prosperity to “discuss the dangers of government-forced health care.”
John Stossel, until recently co-host of ABC’s 20/20, will appear at three events on Thursday with the organization’s president, Tim Phillips; AFP Texas director Peggy Venable and a small business owner “to debate solutions and discuss the dangers of government-forced health care,” according to a press release from AFP that bills Stossel as a “veteran journalist.”
Americans for Prosperity’s “Patients First” project advocates against “a costly, government-defined plan paid for by American taxpayers.”
According to Fox, Stossel’s new show “will feature in-depth reports on domestic and international libertarian issues and will debut during the fourth quarter of this year in FBN’s primetime lineup. Stossel and a panel of experts will explore a wide range of topics including civil liberties, the business of health care and Social Security.” Stossel also will make regular appearances on Fox News as well.
This is not the first time Stossel has made appearances at the group’s forums.
