(Newser) 20/20 anchor John Stossel is leaving ABC for Fox News and the Fox Business Channel, Mediabistro reports. The move is yet another shakeup for ABC—Stossel’s co-anchor Elizabeth Vargas is a frontrunner to replace Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America. Stossel, a frequent guest on Fox, will have a 1-hour weekly show on the business channel and produce consumer specials for Fox News.

Good riddance. Years ago I couldn't understand his logic. Then I thought he was crazy. Now Fox is a perfect fit for him.

great, now he has completely lost all credibility by joining Fox News. Everybody knows how biased Fox News is, at least on ABC he had some kind of credibility...
