The NAAA announced Thursday April 8th, 2021 that John Stossel would be appearing at the NAAA Ag Aviation Expo as the keynote speaker at the show's kickoff breakfast on Monday, December 6th at the show in Savannah, Georgia.
Stossel, a 19-time Emmy winner, has been hailed by The Dallas Morning News as “the most consistently thought-provoking TV reporter of our time,” beginning his career as a consumer reporter in government regulations, later changing his reporting focus on a free market economy. After a 28 year run as a veteran reporter on ABC network's 20/20 program, Stossel embarked on a new market with his own show on the Fox Business Network until 2017.
Stossel now hosts "Stossel TV" that educates younger people on the benefits of limited government. Stossel has been quoted from his own website as stating "The News is broken, much of what the mainstream media reports is nonsense: bias and scare stories."
