    FOX phonies are finally coming out of the liberal closet much like the old media liberals finally dropped the pretense of being unbiased. FOX has an army of liberals preaching their message to conservatives, but instead of dumping a few of those Lefties like Juan Williams and Bob Beckel:

    Fox drops Judge Napolitano show
    'Say goodbye to the most uncompromisingly conservative program on TV'
    Published: 2 days ago

    WASHINGTON – Judge Andrew Napolitano’s “Freedom Watch” on Fox Business Channel, arguably the most hard-hitting conservative show on TV, is being dropped by the network later this month in a major shakeup of the lineup.

    FBC is also dropping shows by David Asman and Eric Bolling. The network will repeat earlier shows, “The Willis Report,” “Cavuto” and “Lou Dobbs Tonight” in their place.

    Fox is also developing a new show hosted by Melissa Francis, who recently joined FBN from CNBC, that will air at 5 pm ET.

    Bolling and Napolitano will continue their on-air roles at Fox Business and Fox News; Asman will continue to anchor the 4 pm ET show on Fox Business.

    “We look forward to Judge Napolitano, David and Eric continuing to make significant contributions to both FOX Business and FOX News,” said FBN Executive Vice President Kevin Magee.

    In response, WND Editor Joseph Farah, who appeared on Napolitano’s show earlier this week, said: “Say goodbye to the most uncompromisingly conservative program on TV. It may have been the only show on TV that measured politics and economics through the lens of the U.S. Constitution.”

    The only reason I watch any television is so I can analyze the government’s lies. In the same vein cancelling Napolitano’s show is a warning for conservatives; analyze everything the FOX phonies say should they watch FOX at all.

    That's a shame the Judge lost his show. He wasn't a party guy and would call him like he see's him.

    However I like the idea of Melissa Francis getting her own show. She knows a fair amount of economics, so she's not just an empty suit. Plus, she's hot as hell. I don't usually like the wide mouth gals, but on her, it works.

    I never saw this one coming, but it’s a good one. Listen to Judge Napolitano in the video and you’ll learn why FOX cancelled his show:

    Fox News star to be Ron Paul's VP?
    'Only 1 man remains faithful to the principles of free market'
    Published: 1 hour ago
    by Joe Kovacs

    As a variety of names are now being floated for presidential running mates, Republican candidate Ron Paul says ousted Fox News host Judge Andrew Napolitano might be at the top of his list.

    Paul was asked the question about whom he would like on a White House ticket with him at a recent public meeting, and he said, “One time somebody asked me who I’d have to consider and the name Judge Napolitano jumps right out at me.”

    While the audience erupted with cheers of approval, Paul continued: “But when you think about the danger of mentioning one or two means you’re not going to mention quite a few others that would certainly be qualified. That’s a great story, you know, the fact that there are a lot of people now that are well-known and well-educated and know the issues and would do a very good job.”

    Napolitano’s “Freedom Watch” show was recently canceled by the Fox Business Channel, but during numerous on-air segments, Napolitano had frequent flattering remarks about Paul, while criticizing other presidential hopefuls including former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum.

    “There is a hunger in the land for a game changer, and Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum are not up to that,” Napolitano said in early January. “There is a need in the country for a government that stays within the confines of the Constitution, or we’ll all end up like the socialists in Europe, and Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum are not up to that. There is a rumbling in the countryside that the government should shrink and live within its means, and Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum are not gonna make that happen.”

    With a giant photo of Paul on the screen behind him, Napolitano said, “Only one man remains faithful to the principles of free market and small government, to the Constitution and to personal freedom, to defending the nation without being the world’s police force. Only one. You know who he is.”

    On another program this month, Napolitano asked, “What if Ron Paul is being ignored by the media not because, as he claims, he’s unappealing or unelectable, but because he doesn’t fit into the premanufactured, public-opinion mold used by the establishment to pigeon-hole the electorate, and create the so-called narrative that drives media coverage of elections?”

    On the same show, the judge noted, “What if Rick Santorum is being embraced by voters who want small government, even though Senator Santorum voted for the Patriot Act, for an expansion of Medicare and for raising the debt ceiling by trillions of dollars? What if Mitt Romney is being embraced by voters who want anyone but Barack Obama, but they don’t realize that Mitt Romney might as well be Barack Obama on everything from warfare to welfare?”

    Napolitano’s support for Paul is not new.

    In a 2007 speech, the judge had more praise, saying, “The Thomas Jefferson of our day, Ron Paul, is one of us!”

    While Paul considers his running-mate options, WND reported yesterday on a new national poll of Republicans and independents revealing Florida U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio is the top choice for the vice-presidential slot on the GOP ticket this year, despite his avowed non-interest and the fact he may not even be constitutionally eligible to hold the office, since his parents were not U.S. citizens when he was born, raising doubt about his natural-born citizenship.

    The national survey of 800 registered voters by Fairleigh Dickinson University’s PublicMind shows Rubio receiving 66 mentions, more than 8 percent of the time, followed by Santorum, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, Michele Bachmann and surprisingly, Democrat Hillary Clinton.

    I never watch FAUX .. not since Rummy declared that the WMD's were somewhere North, South, East & West of Baghdad & Tikrit ...

    I only catch Faux Noize every night on MSNBC from Bashir to O'Donnell when they televise choice wacko commentary from Faux, Beckerhead, insHannity, Palin, Fatbo and the entire right-wing media circus of hate ...

    Lately, Senior GOP / Tea Bag Political Advisor Rushbo has at least been somewhat comical in trying to explain away this thing called the 2012 GOP / Tea Bag Prez hopefuls ...

    ... neo-*********s should have OWS'd the *2012 GOP / Teabag Messiahs* after the first Presidential debate ... I tell ya, it's a good thing Nancy Reagan is too senile to even know what was happeneing as every candidate presented themselves as the second-coming-of-Reagan ...

    Sad.

    Every FOX bigwig, from O'Reilly, to Hannity, to Murdoch, has, when pressed on the matter, declared that FOX is primarily "opinion and entertainment" and/or "political entertainment."

    So, don't sweat it. There's always a new show, a hot new host, some fresh excitement for viewers. I hear they're already shopping a show concept for Rick Santorum. Gomer Pyle has basically jumped the shark--he doesn't seem to have enough of the cynical racism that he may or may not realize that he represents--and so the opening for some fresh talent at FOX is wide-open.

    Santorum should be a big star until the inevitable gay scandal, or pedophilia scandal, or gay pedophilia scandal, or drug scandal, or gay pedophilic pornography drug scandal, or whatever it turns out to be *this time*.

    Good day sirs.

    Judge Napolitano is a self avowed libertarian not a conservative, as is John Stossel. Napolitano's show doesn't fit on a business network. Eric Bolling is now doing "The Five" on Fox News and he said he likes discussing politics so I imagine he wanted to give it up anyways.
