Stossel - 2010, January 14, Thursday "Crony Capitalism" Fox Business Network Xvid/MP3 AVI (NOTE: My computers will be down for one week, shortly. There will be a break in seeding on 20100116@1530 UTC. Please do your part and seed for others. If it doesn't fully seed out, then y'all'll have tuh wait until 20100123 for the seeding to resume. Thanks, everyone!) ----- [excerpted from John's blog] January 15, 2010 12:14 PM EST by John Stossel "John Stossel is a paranoid, insane, lying hypocrite." “Crony Capitalism” re-airs tonight at 10pm EST, so if you missed it you can see what got some people so mad. I discussed the many examples where Big Business has used the clout of Big Government to get special privileges or protect themselves from competition. My first example was a little window company, Serious Materials, who got an unusual amount of presidential praise and special favors – including a recent ‘green’ tax credit. Not everyone was happy to see this story. Mary Madigan: "I watch your show, but frankly I think this story is pathetic. John, you are getting too close to […] Sensational Journalism. I’m seeing a story where there is no real story." Michael: "This is lazy, sound bite journalism of the worst kind. If there is story there, go find the FACTS, and tell us!" Fortunately, most people liked the show: Liberty Lover: "John, Great show, just like the other ones. Keep up the good work. I like how you maintain your political independence: criticize lawmakers of both parties when they commit such stupidity…" Capt. Karl: "Mr. Stossel, GREAT JOB on this vital subject matter tonight! Thank you" Some viewers suggested alternative titles for the topic – “mercantilism,” “socialism,” and “corporatism”. My wife wanted me to call it the “un-free market.” None of those seemed as clear to me as crony capitalism, so I choose that. The show will also re-air Saturday at 7pm EST, and Sunday at 11pm.

It's why when referring to the "free market" or concepts related to such, I always qualify it by saying instead something like, "in a free and _unfettered_ market..."
