FIRE’s Shibley on ‘Stossel’ This Thursday
FIRE's Robert Shibley was on campus at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) last week for a taping of the Fox Business Network show Stossel, hosted by 19-time Emmy Award winner John Stossel. This week's episode opens with civil liberties on college campuses, so FIRE supporters know that Robert, along with Campus Freedom Network (CFN) members David Deerson of UNC and Derek Spicer of North Carolina State University, will have plenty to say. UNC's student paper, The Daily Tar Heel, covered the show's taping and gave a shout out to Robert.
Tune in to Fox Business Network this Thursday at 9 p.m. Eastern time to catch the episode and Robert's appearance!
