Subject: David Horowitz Fights Back, Won't Be Ripped Off Again
Written By: LyricBoy on 02/19/19 at 5:44 am
Legendary consumer TV personality David Horowitz has passed away at the age of 81.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Horowitz_(consumer_advocate)
I could not find an Obit but his Wikipedia page says he died on February 13th.
Back in the 1980s he ran a syndicated TV show called Fight Back, where he exposed all sorts of scams, and openly embarrassed manufacturers of ripoff products. That show was awesome, I always tuned in every week. Also at one point in his career he was held at gunpoint by an attacker on live TV. :o David kept his cool and lived to tell the tale.
His closing line for each show was the admonition "Fight back, and Don't let ANYONE rip YOU off!". 8)

^ I remember his tag line and catch phrase. You're right, his Wiki page doesn't even say how he died.
Obviously this guy is not to be confused with a certain conservative writer with the same name who is still alive.

When I saw the surname Horowitz, I was hoping it is not the British writer Horowtiz, but on reading and further research he is Anthony Horowitz. Phew!

I'm surprised he did not "Fight Back". ;)
