Stossel rips: "More 'Media Matters' Deceit"

Stossel takes Media Matters' to task (available here) for mangling data and not understanding the difference between relative and absolute status and that if 42% stayed in the bottom fifth, that means that most moved out of that group.

John Stossel shows how little changed government spending will be from the Debt Ceiling agreement

John Stossel has a useful post on his blog available here. From his post:

Spending won't be cut at all. It's only a "cut" compared to increases the CBO "assumed". Imagine if you ran your budget that way. Dinner conversation might go like this: "Since we're so deep in debt, I've decided to cut spending next year. Instead of a new Lexus, I'll buy a Dodge." . . .

Stossel discusses Canada's health care system

Foretelling the Future: Online Prediction Markets
Skittish About the Stock Market? Try Trading Election Results Instead

Who will win the Democratic nomination? Who will be the next president? When might Britney Spears go back to rehab? And who will be the next "American Idol"?

Don't look for guidance from TV pundits or gossip magazines. Instead, go to the Web site where people are putting their money where their mouths are: Intrade.com.

Intrade is a futures market, just like commodities markets where people make trades betting on the future prices of things like oil, gold and pork bellies. On Intrade, thousands of people bet on the outcomes of current events.

Watch the story today on "20/20" at 10 p.m. ET . . . .
