Executive summary: Libertarian reporter "I just find things that, to me, seem stupid and do a short television piece about them. I am not as intricate about it all as some are. For 20 years, as a consumer reporter, I made judgments about business. Product X is bad or A is better than B, and nobody in news was doing that about government regulations -- so I am just applying the same consumer-reporting technique to government as to the marketplace."
