the label "stupid in america" best refers to stossel as market fundamentalist frontman. his tv show was more fanciful than factual. reminds me of friedman's "crisis--actual or perceived." poor choice. "...Media Matters for America (2006) characterized Stossel's coverage as 'a series of misleading claims, a lack of balance in reporting and interviews, and video clips apparently created for entertainment to argue for expanding 'school choice' initiatives such as vouchers and charter schools.' Blurring the lines between truth and fiction, public school "myths" featured in ABC's special are cleverly reframed as "lies." This shift in perspective is documented quite simply with biased and, in some cases, illogical, misinformation--all used as propaganda to support the pro-school choice agenda..." teqjournal.org
