Judge Napolitano - How to get first from Fox

[WheelHead]

I know this is not really a 2A issue but a friend forwarded me this. I never watched this guy and do not support any News media outlet since I think they are all full of crap, but I did find some truth in the video.

The Judge has always been very Libertarian in his views, but has really ramped it up in the past year.

I've long agreed with a lot of what he's said, but I've kinda been waiting for him to step on the wrong toes.

If I had to guess, I'd say he managed to rub the R establishment the wrong way

I'm in before 85% of the people here agree with him but still discredit the Libertarian view as radical, unethical, unpractical, etc.

I've seen the Judge on Fox News many many times since that segment. I don't think he got firsted [sic] from them. If he had a show on there, it was probably cancelled because he is better as a commentator than as a host. Just a guess. But he has lost a lot of weight since then.

Agreed-if they really were upset about that segment he wouldn't be appearing on their other shows since.

My guess is that fox is now aimed squarely at a forth grade education. As I mentioned I bailed years ago.

 

[Hopalong]

He's had a few pieces on Fox News over the years that I'm surprised haven't gotten him booted. He's definitely not an establishment Republican and has no problem ruffling feathers.

There are no mass media outlets that don't play to the low-information audience. FNC/FBN just seems to insult thinking folks' intelligence a lot less.

Why?

Neither is most of their on air talent.

 

[organized_mayhem]

He used to have a show called Freedom Watch on Fox Business channel that was dropped in 2012. He definitely ruffled some feathers over there the several years he was on air.

It fell quite a bit. Once CCN became an also ran.

Fact is its still falling.. Now I do not blame fox news-- I just no longer watch it.

Guess what--- Fox is not Republican-- never was... it just looks that way compared to CNN.

The problem is no news channel wants to make any Intellectual demands on the audience--- and that is a bipartisan issue

I agree with 50% of the libertarian view but I would never consider myself a libertarian. I consider some of their ideas to be anarchist.

Exactly. Remember Murdoch made contributions to Hildebeast when she was running for the nomination over Barry. Also Murdoch is businessman he saw that most news had a very leftist slant and saw a hole in the market which he filled with a pseudo-conservative news network.

Libertarianism is a philosophy not a pragmatic political position. Thus its not supposed be moderate ethitical or practical.... it supposed to be a starting point for all that.

It's been almost a year since this article.

Obviously, anybody that is in an uproar about his show being cancelled never watched it, which says a lot about why it was cancelled in the first place.
