Protest the Cancellation of 'Freedom Watch'

I was literally wondering just today how a show like the Judge’s was allowed to remain on the aire…

Protest the Cancellation of 'Freedom Watch’Posted on February 9, 2012 by Lew Rockwell

If you are as outraged as I am at the cancellation of Judge Andrew Napolitano’s “Freedom Watch,” here is something you can do:

Please contact Fox Business to ask them to reverse their decision. Irena Briganti, Senior Vice President Media Relations Phone: 212-301-3608 Fax: 212-819-0816 E-Mail: irena.briganti@foxnews.com

Be respectful but be sure to convey your outrage at this matter, and state that you and many others will boycott the network if the show is taken off the air.

That’s unfortunate, Freedom Watch was the only reason I watched FBN. Stossel is OK too, I guess.

I wonder if there was a specific catalyst for this decision. The last video I saw was the one where the guest predicted ron paul on the gop tickiet. But it might have been coming for a long time. I was surprised that such a show even existed on Fox and for that long as well.

I think it was the episode where he talked about the False Left-Right Paradigm. How there’s no difference between either party. Can’t have the Mrrkans losing faith in Democracy

We Can Still Save ‘Freedom Watch’!

We need to keep up the campaign.
We also need to write the following people:

Roger Ailes assistant, Gena Dellaquila at Gdellaquila@newscorp.com.
In addition, continue to contact the public/media relations dept at:

Well I just called. Which is probably a lot more effective than, say, casting a ballot in an election. Make sure to mention how much money you spend on discretionary purchases EVERY DAY and rhetorically ask if their advertisers will mind not being able to reach you through commercials.

I think it’s a noble idea, but wouldn’t someone just control what can be said? Would it be the same in the long term?

The Judge asked today that his supporters tone down the email campaign.

“It will be far more productive for my work at Fox and the work of my friends and colleagues here–many of whom share our values–if the email traffic to Fox toned down considerably. I will continue to voice the message of freedom in many more Fox venues, and you will hear that message, and we will do our best to alert you in advance of those venues and the times that I will be on them; and we will post those alerts right here on this site. PLEASE BE SURE TO WATCH THE FINAL FreedomWatch SHOW ON MONDAY FEBRUARY 13TH, ON FOX BUSINESS AT 8:00 PM, EASTERN TIME. You have been very strong in your views and generous in your comments about the show, but now is the time to relax and lay low and prepare for the future. God bless each of you.”

fwiw

A new plea on the Judge’s facebook page (mirrored by Tom Woods). Many commenters in both places are suggesting these aren’t the Judge’s words.

What do you think?

I can hear the emails now:

“DIE NWO SCUM YOU’LL NEVER TAKE US ALIVE. JUDGE NAP IS A BRILLIANT MAN.”

I guess we know what Russia Today thinks is the reason (or at least what they want the viewers to think is the reason)…

(Fun game): see how long you can stand the “libretarian” she interviews and his incessant “I think I’m more important than I really am” yammering. It gets worse as time moves on, all the way up to the point where he claims “Ron Paul brings enthusiasm, but what he lacks is a bit of excitement and youthful enthusiasm”…right before he suggests that’s where he and Rand Paul come in (as if this idiot is on par with a sitting US Senator elected by the Tea Party, and the leader of the biggest movement in party politics in a generation).

But the best part is how he clarifies that statement…“You need young guys with enthusiasm [like Rand Paul and me]”. Because when I see a 50 year old blowhard with a thinning silver mane, a goofy Guy Smiley grin, and sports memorabilia all over a shitty office, the first thing that comes to my mind is “well there’s a young guy with enthusiasm”.

I thought you were talking about the Judge for a second.

Thanks for the blast from the past…but I don’t get the relevance.

Wayne… think about it for a sec.

So you posted the music video for a one-hit-wonder from a decade ago, because the name of the band happened to include the first name of the idiot she interviewed? That’s what people are supposed to “get”?

Never said it was profound.

They should can Shepard Smith. Not because he is a lib, but because he is creepy and super annoying. And he has two time slots.

I realize this has kind of blown over, but I hadn’t seen this clip before. I think it’s worth the bump. Again, if you go back to the Judge’s Facebook page and read the comments under his messages asking people to stop contacting Fox, you’ll see how the vast majority of people didn’t buy it…they were actually mocking it as if a Fox employee had put on a hand puppet and pretended he was having a conversation with the Judge.

And just in case they’ve gone back and deleted them, you can see an undisturbed sample of comments on Tom Wood’s blog.

@JJ: Awesome info, thanks for sharing that.

I haven’t been paying much attention to the news lately but now this whole “Murdoch scandal” is making sense. RM is a businessman, pure and simple. He saw some business opportunities but it turned out these weren’t in line with the globalist agenda. They probably asked him nicely, once, to stop. He refused because he was making money and didn’t see what they were whining about. That’s when they rolled out the scandal and twisted his arm. At that point, he had no choice but to comply.

What a circus.
