The FOX News Hypocrisy-Judge Napolitano Joins Glenn Beck

Remember when NPR canned Juan Williams for admitting that when he gets on a plane and sees someone in full Arab garb it makes him a little apprehensive? The talking heads over at FOX News were spinning with glee. What an untenable over-step of Juan Williams’ basic liberties. NPR was Constitutional enemy number one. How dare they fire someone because of their political views? Well, looks like the outrage, if there ever was any real outrage, is over. FOX News has canned Judge Andrew Napolitano over his Libertarian views. Freedom Watch, one of the most successful shows on FOX Business Channel, has been cancelled. So far, no outrage from FOX. Why not? Suppression of liberty is suppression of liberty no matter who does it, right? Guess not.

While I’m not going to cancel my DirectTV subscription (owned by billionaire Rupert Murdoch who owns FOX News) over it, I am going to trim back my channels as far as possible, and use the blessings of technology to watch new media channels online, specifically Glenn Beck TV. My new TV (a LG 42LK520 42-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LCD HDTV) allows me to do this with a simple cord from my computer to the back of the TV. That’s the great thing about the Internet, it opens up a world of control for independent thinkers. The Big Six media companies can’t control what you see and hear any longer. Sure, FOX can fire Glenn Beck and Judge Andrew Napolitano for their views, but that doesn’t silence them. Sorry Rupert old boy. Those days are long gone.

The news of Judge Andrew Napolitano’s firing is bothersome, to say the least. But if Rupert Murdoch was trying to silence the Libertarian voice, it just backfired. Sources close to the situation say that Glenn Beck has contacted the Judge and there is a deal in the works. Those of you who who subscribe to my feed, know that I’m not a huge fan of Glenn Beck’s proselytizing, but that doesn’t mean I disregard all of his views. To the contrary, I’ve been thinking about subscribing to GBTV for some time now, just to hear some fresh discussion. Now that there’s a possibility the Judge will be featured on Beck’s new Internet channel, I’m going to use the money I save from downgrading my DirectTV subscription to pay for a subscription to GBTV.
