Despite an abundance of wives and concubines, ancient Israel's King David bedded another man's wife. The prophet Nathan condemned David with the parable of a rich man who ignored his own flocks to seize a poor man's lamb (2 Samuel 12:1-4). So it is with leftwing activists who lobby for the firing of ABC's John Stossel.
There is at least one truth in the United States: The media is liberal. From network anchors to talk-show personalities to correspondents, the vast majority lean left. Some, such as the egregious Bryant Gumbel, make little effort to disguise their bias.
Perhaps the most notable exception is John Stossel, who reports for ABC's 20/20 and develops his own specials. Years ago, Stossel started out as a reliably liberal consumer-affairs reporter for a local TV station. But he has since metamorphosed into a classical liberal who actually believes in liberty.
