eh, I love Freedom Watch for the first bits, then get outrageously bored when they bring in the panel. There's a freaking panel on nearly ever Fox show (The Five, Special Report, Hannity, Fox & Friends, Studio B, The Fox Report, Red Eye, Fox News Sunday, on & on & on...and that's not counting the panels on all the Fox Business shows). All the panels ask the exact same questions, to the exact same guests, saying the exact same things, from the predictable perspectives we all know. If you asked me a question and gave me a panelists name, I could literally answer it in their voice. They are THAT predictable.

Knowing that, why would anyone watch the second half of Freedom Watch if all the people are saying the same things they said earlier that day on all the other shows?

If Freedom Watch wanted to survive, they needed to toss the same formula every other Fox show uses. The Judge does not have the same style as those other hosts, so why did he format his show in their formulaic style? The Judge tends to ask outrageously leading questions and that makes him a poor panel host. And the Judge's true strengths, commenting and judging the legality and morality of things, was never fully utilized on his own show.

By emphasizing the Judges weaknesses and minimizing his strengths, Freedom Watch signed it's own death sentence. I'm glad it lasted as long as it did. But after being faithful out of libertarian loyalty since its premiere, I ultimately removed it from my own DVR schedule about 2 months ago.

the best type of show for the Judge would be a Crossfire type, where he would be pitted against the same neo-con every day.
 
FOX cancelling the Judge.... and he will be on Alex Jones TV (definitely bring more to the truth) faster than they can say "Holy S..., did we make a mistake!"

That would be interesting.

Or even a Judge vs Judge show (Napolitano vs Pirro) where, unlike the usual prosecution vs defense lawyers arguing two sides, the two Justices could offer differing verdicts on legal issues. Maybe toss in a 3rd Judge for good measure so there could be majority and minority opinions like on the Supreme Court. It could be called In Judgement.

Time to move on

Move on WHERE? I don't give a crap about what network it is on. The show promoted liberty and I thought that was what we were all after.

He actually uses twitter

I'd do it early on a Saturday morning instead of likely when he's out for supper

More Ways To Protest the FOX Cancellation of 'Freedom Watch'
Posted by Lew Rockwell on February 10, 2012 10:23 AM
FOX plans to cancel the greatest program of its sort in the history of television, "Freedom Watch," starring the heroic Judge Andrew Napolitano. Here are more people to write in protest:

Kevin Magee (Fox Executive VP) made the decision to cancel the show. Write him at [email protected].
Write Fox CEO Roger Ailes's assistant, Gena Dellaquila, at [email protected].
And if you have not already done so, protest this outrageous act to the public/media relations department at:

Irena Briganti, Senior Vice President
Media Relations
Phone: 212-301-3608
Fax: 212-819-0816
E-Mail: [email protected]
We are being heard. I am told that the Fox higher-ups are "stunned" at the public response.

UPDATE from a friend:

With respect, I suggest that complaints directed to Fox's advertisers might also have great effect.

Fight for it.

I certainly do. That network needs to be marginalized in politics if this Nation is going to really change for the better.
 
Here are some contact emails and information. I am sending an email requesting they either a) put the Judge back on, or b) request that they put him on during a better time slot on the main Fox News Channel.


Kevin Magee (Fox Executive VP) is the person who made the decision to
cancel the show. Write him at [email protected].

Roger Ailes assistant, Gena Dellaquila at [email protected].

In addition, continue to contact the public/media relations dept at:
Irena Briganti, Senior Vice President
Media Relations
Phone: 212 301-3608
Fax: 212-819-0816
E-Mail: [email protected]


If we all contact these people, something may be done. I received this via email from my local Ron Paul group, and they have a link to a story discussing how Fox News is "stunned" at the response from the show's cancellation.

Please, contact these people and spread the word.
 
Just in case this has not been mentioned. In another thread the Judge requested via twitter to lay off on the emails to Fox. The point has been made.
 
I'm seeing his most recent post as:

>>Judgenap Judge Napolitano
>>All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent. Thomas Jefferson

Not doubting you but I don't see a request to back off in his Twitter. If anything I would take that tweet as a request to keep it up! Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place?
