Page "John Stossel" Paragraph 48

Stossel has won 19 Emmy Awards.

He was honored five times for excellence in consumer reporting by the National Press Club, and has received the George Polk Award for Outstanding Local Reporting and the Peabody Award.

According to Stossel, when he was in favor of government intervention and skeptical of business he was deluged with awards, but in 2006 he stated, " They like me less ... Once I started applying the same skepticism to government, I stopped winning awards.

" On April 23, 2012, Stossel was awarded the Chapman University Presidential Medal, by the current president, James Doti, and chancellor, Danielle Struppa.

The award has only been presented to a handful of people over the past 150 years.
