“If you are as outraged as I am at the cancellation of Judge Andrew Napolitano’s “Freedom Watch,” here is something you can do.”
Please contact Fox Business to ask them to reverse their decision.

“Be respectful but be sure to convey your outrage at this matter, and state that you and many others will boycott the network if the show is taken off the air.” Rockwell added.

The Fox Business Channel has cancelled one of the only shows on the
entire Fox News network that was in any way informative or watchable - Freedom Watch with Judge Andrew Napolitano.
In a press release distributed
late Thursday, the channel announced that its entire prime-time
programming lineup had been changed, with re-runs of already existing
programs replacing Freedom Watch.
Napolitano’s show had been airing for a year, in which time he had
consistently covered major issues that other news programs would only
gloss over, if they devoted any coverage to them at all.
Napolitano’s coverage of the freedom stripping National Defense
Authorization Act for one was second to none as far as mainstream news
output was concerned. His legal and constitutional expertise on such
matters is also unrivalled.
His focus on Austrian economics and Libertarian social policy
provided a much welcome alternative to the endless left/right bickering
constantly played out on programming from the likes of MSNBC, CNN, and
FOX News itself.
Napolitano regularly defended the free market and lambasted the
actions of the Federal Reserve, holding it accountable daily for the
economic crisis that the US finds itself mired in. Congressman Ron Paul
was a regular guest on the show, with a host of other informative
analysts who were not merely about peddling the establishment party
line or representing special interests.
It is for these very reasons that many fans of the show suspect Napolitano has been axed by the corporate machine.
Regarding Napolitano’s future, Fox Business stated that the judge
will be “continuing to make significant contributions to both FOX
Business and FOX News” and would “be showcased throughout future
programming on both networks”
“Currently one of the leading judicial analysts on television, Judge
Napolitano will continue his role on both FOX Business and FOX News,
providing key legal insights surrounding the growing intersection
between Washington and Wall Street.” the statement read.
Linking to the press release on his Facebook page, Napolitano wrote “sad news friends, but don’t worry I’ll still be here defending liberty.”
