This is a guy who spoke truth to power, working for American Pravda yet refused to do anything but call bullshit on everything. I am sure Stephen is financially fine, but the fact he's willing to throw more millions away by doing the right thing is a testament to who this man is.

Color me inspired and impressed. I would love to shake that man's hand one day and say, "thank you". He's also a devout Catholic I think, another REAL Christian. Standing up to the money changers in the temple.
