But at least one employer has been outspoken [against President Obama's changes to federal guidelines governing the employment of unpaid interns]. John Stossel, a former anchor on ABC’s “20/20” who now hosts his own show on the Fox Business Network, has been sounding off about the issue all over print, the airwaves and cyberspace. He even donned a police uniform for an appearance on the Fox News program “America Live” to ridicule the crackdown.

“I’ve built my career on unpaid interns,” he said in the interview, “and the interns told me it was great — I learned more from you than I did in college.” (Asked why he didn’t pay them if they were so valuable, he said he didn’t have the money.)

A guy who worked 28 years at ABC, author of two best-selling books, winner of nineteen Emmy awards, now with his own show on Fox, can't afford to pay people who have no income.

If dude ever writes a sequel to Myths, Lies and Downright Stupidity, he needs to write a chapter about himself.
