I'll add Stossel to a list of good-to-follows for independent takes.

Here's a video of him directly asking politicians at a city council meeting about corruption with a local developer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99IeGqIIHj4

They have since approved a project that was competing with the corrupt developer and the corrupt developer is facing federal charges: https://apnews.com/article/f7a7fdb3057548009072601729a2dc2c

Thanks for posting this, I had forgotten this video, it's great (he has others that are really worth watching, go watch if you want "my racist bake sale" [1])

Yeah, agree, Stossel is great, and even if heavily biased, he's what journalism should be about: exposing malfeasance.

He used to be part of the media establishment, but I guess got cast out when he decided to be an actual journalist.
