When I was a kid I enjoyed watching him because of his devil's advocate style.

But he has since become a total fraud and it has nothing to do with being on Fox or any political slant. Do a search for John Stossel and you'll find he made several reports in which he claimed to have performed polls or tests and he never really did. He just made up the numbers. He also claimed to have sent certain materials to a lab for testing, which he never did. He didn't just fudge the numbers, or use questionable sources, he flat out made stuff up.

He publicly admitted that all the allegations were true and apologized.

To me, if you do that even once as a journalist, you have lost all credibility. The guy is a fraud.
