About the Author:
John Stossel is the anchor for 20/20. He has received nineteen Emmys and been honored five times for excellence in consumer reporting by the National Press Club. His book Give Me a Break was also a New York Times bestseller. A graduate of Princeton University, Stossel lives in New York City.
From AudioFile:
To follow a similar book that sold well, John Stossel of TV's "20/20" offers another exposÉ, this one on how many widely held beliefs are wrong. Once again, the author's TV roots betray him as this book predictably dumbs-down its material. Using sound clips from TV interviews breaks up the drone of Stossel's narrative sensationalism but contributes little to his stated goal of providing listeners with the truth. If you've endured the TV show, you pretty much know what to expect from Stossel, charming as ever in this recording but not whom you want to turn to if you're really interested in understanding anything about how the world works.
