Fox Business News Network has announced plans to cancel Judge John Napolitano's Freedom Watch program.
This is not a good thing.
With the exception of John Stossel's show, there is no other program on TV devoted to Libertarian issues, and Stossel's program suffers from the same problem as this blog.....How many times and how many ways can you prove that the government is totally screwed before you get tired of the project? How many wars? How much debt? How many drug war prisoners? How many insane giveways to insiders? How many illiterate and innumerate high school graduates? How many generation of a family have to be on welfare? What is it going to take?
You've got the Welfare/Warfare Statists on Castro News Network and MSDNC. You've got the Warfare/Welfare Statists on Fox News. Napolitano is passionately anti-corporate welfare, anti-military industrial complex, anti-drug war, and anti-nanny state. He found a home for several years on Fox Business, and has spent the last few months exposing the fundamental silliness of the Mewts and Santorum.
Well, that explains the parent Fox network cancellation, doesn't it?
Here's a video of someone discussing the issue with Wayne Allyn Root, the Las Vegas Libertarian oddsmaker. (John Spivey and I once had a pleasant evening drinking most of the beer that was iced down in Root's hotel suite bathtub.)

Fox Business has the right to broadcast whatever they choose to broadcast. (Some might say they have some responsibility to show some diverse viewpoints because of government licensing of the airwaves, but that's another conversation for another time.)
However, customers of the network's advertisers, and the suits who sell advertising for Fox need to know that some viewers aren't happy with this decision. Here are the people to contact:
