Commentary on today's political happenings.

Award-winning news correspondent John Stossel is co-anchor of ABC News "20/20." Eight million to 10 million people watch his program weekly. Often, he ends "20/20" with a TV column called "Give Me a Break," which challenges conventional wisdom.

Stossel's prime-time specials on myths, parenting issues, sex and trends in pop culture rate among the top news programs on the air and have earned him uncommon praise.

Stossel takes this reporting expertise and applies it to his weekly newspaper column for Creators Syndicate. Covering topics newspaper readers care about, Stossel pokes fun at the ridiculous and lauds the excellent. So do Stossel's incredible TV ratings will translate from TV to print? The answer to that question is a resounding YES! Last year, HarperCollins published Stossel's book "Give Me a Break," and readers (the same ones who read newspapers) made it a New York Times best seller for 11 weeks.

Stossel has received 19 Emmy Awards and has been honored five times for excellence in consumer reporting by the National Press Club. Among his other awards are the George Polk Award for Outstanding Local Reporting and the George Foster Peabody Award.

He is a graduate of Princeton University, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology.

The Weirs Times is a full color weekly newspaper which tells the history, humor and happenings of New Hampshire's Lakes Region and beyond. The paper, first published in 1883 by Mathew H. Calvert, was named Calvert's Weirs Times and Tourists' Gazette and continued until Mr. Calvert's death in 1902. The new Weirs Times began publication in 1992 and strives to maintain the patriotic spirit of its predecessor as well as his devotion to the interests of Lake Winnipesaukee and vicinity. Currently 30,000 copies are distributed across the entire state from as far North as Bethlehem and as far south as Portsmouth. The Weirs Times has grown since its beginnings in 1992 and is now one of NH's largest weekly newspapers.
