As a reporter and anchor for ABC News for 28 years, John Stossel transitioned from business-baiting consumer advocate to corporate-friendly contrarian.

"We want Mommy government to take care of us," Stossel says in an interview. "Any child wants Mommy and Daddy to step in. And if you're really not economically literate, you think that the specialists in Washington and state capitals can plan our lives better than we can." His consistent message: They can't.

Now, as host of the new show Stossel, Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET on the young Fox Business Network, he is taking that message into new terrain. And his journey captures a lot of the change buffeting the news industry.

Day 1 of Stossel: global warming. The program mocked scientists and government officials who warned of its dangers as elites seeking to curb liberties for no real reason.

"The globe is warming. Sea levels are going to rise. Does that mean that all these people are going to drown?" Stossel asked viewers, tongue firmly planted in cheek. "I'll be OK — I've got a life jacket and a raft — but are all these other people going to die?"

12. I've been watching this a-hole for a long time (Stossel), and I still haven't figured out....

(1) If he has pictures of someone and is blackmailing them;
(2) If he's got millions of dollars, and is paying to keep and advance his career, and we just don't know it; or,
(3) He's _______ ________ on some very wealthy, powerful Repukes and they're protecting his skanky behind.

Why do I think this?

Well... he's...

(a) Ugly as a rat
(b) Not the brightest armadillo in the desert
(c) His stories are NOT unique and usually they're such bullshit I'm amazed they've aired them
(d) His stories screamed out loud that they were merely to spread the GOP manifesto
(e) Throughout his career, his stories have been filled with errors, misquotes, and outright proven lies...

and STILL he has been able to keep a job for the looongest time...

even before he went to work for FOX!

13. He seems like that dickhead in high school who would rev his Camaro

and keep a big plastic comb in the back pocket of his cords so he could feather his hair.
