I’ve always liked John Stossel, a reporter who started out doing exposés on businesses as a consumer reporter in New York (and was famously hit by a pro-wrestler during an interview in the ’80s), but gradually realized that the biggest scams of course use the force of government.

He worked for ABC for ages, but was recently hired by Fox to host his own show (that makes two genuine, anti-war libertarians on Fox now, including Judge Andrew Napolitano — Beck of course is a phoney).

Here’s a clip from his new show on crony capitalism, focusing on special relationship between a “green” window manufacturer and the Obama administration:

This kind of reporting would make Murray Rothbard proud. He knew that you can’t truly examine government policy without looking at the personal and financial lives of the politicos and businesses involved.
