Fox News show Freedom Watch Cancelled

I see the Judge Napolitano show Freedom Watch has been cancelled.  With TV channels packed with liberal and conservative news shows,  is it too much to ask to have at least one libertarian news show.  Even If you aren't a libertarian, isn't it good to have access to other viewpoints?

Yes, it would be good to have access to other viewpoints. But with regards to his show, I guess the market spoke...

But the problem here is that the market did NOT speak.  According to Lew Rockwell's site, the show was NOT cancelled for low ratings.

It's only a matter of time till some gonad at Fox Business replaces him with another carricature like Sean Hannity or Rachel Maddow.  Honestly I don't think network exec 'tards will be happy until they have replaced every single intelligent show with the equivalent of Dancing with the Stars, American Idol, or Are You Smarter Than a Third Grader.

Rachel Maddow is one of the smartest ones of the MSNBC bunch... I think you're thinking more along the lines of Lawrence O'Donnel... what a d0uche.

Actually I did write her before I started this thread but thanks for posting that link so others can voice their opinion if they are so inclined.  I've read the execs at Fox Business have been deluged with complaints since the cancellation was announced.

Rachel Maddow.  She's just like Suzi Orman, minus the Strap&n.

FOX is busy lining up the troops behind Romney.  Judge Napolitano was not likely to tow the appropriate political line.

A friend of mine's daughter assists in producing specials for CNBC.  Her latest is Love at First Byte.  A couple of others she did was on the inside workings of Google and House of Cards.  I've found most of the CNBC specials quite interesting.

It's OK.  MediumTex cannot complain after what he posted in another thread.  I had nightmares from that.  :-)
