You realize FOX canceled their entire evening line up right? Not just the Judge, but every single show. Not much of a Conspiracy here, just a matter of simple ratings.
Oh yeah Glenn Beck, the Judge and Lou Dobbs all just casualties of ratings ....
No one is trying to control a message to the public ...
Nothing to see here move along ....

Last year the channel had an average of 54,000 total viewers in prime time, placing it in the bottom tier of all cable channels rated by Nielsen. The leading business news channel, CNBC, had an average of 228,000 viewers in prime time.
Once the changes announced on Thursday take effect on Feb. 20, the shows featuring Gerri Willis, Neil Cavuto and Lou Dobbs at 5, 6 and 7 p.m. will be queued up again starting at 8.

I hope another network does pick him up, but I would be very surprised to see him have his own show before November. I just don't see that happening.

I don't see any problem complaining that they are taking a show you like off the air. As long as you are convincing them rather than trying to force them.

Alright, now I'm just getting angry. These people hate freedom, and they're going on an all out assault on our internet and media, which draw our attention away from the msm talking heads. It's obvious that tptb have declared war on us.

The Judge was the only TRUE reporter on the news and defender of liberty!

I always found the Beck thing interesting since he talked about the exact same conspiracies and issues that are discussed here. I think the fact he was neither Republican nor Democrat is what lead to his leaving. Oddly enough the stuff he said about Obama always checked out. I imagine Obama supporters did him in. It's a shame how people only believe in Free Speech for themselves while wanting to deny it to anyone who does not agree with them.
I think I watched maybe four or five of his daily shows and what he said on those days was factually accurate. Far more accurate than anything coming out of the Obama Administration. I just figured Obama and his flunkies found a way to get rid of him. Oddly enough the bad stuff I saw about him came from the most dishonest places on the whole Internet; Move On, the Daily Koss and Huffington. The whole country would be better off if they disappeared. Beck was a flash in the pan but those sites are doing a lot of damage with their propaganda machine.
On topic-
I see that Napalitano was one of three being cancelled, but they were careful to mention he will still be on both of their news networks. This looks more like a marketing thing to boost ratings to me. Not everything is a conspiracy.

Fox made a decision about how Fox operates and that is evidence they hate freedom? Please suggest the alternative? Forcing Fox to do business the way you want them to? Is that more freedom?
I thought you Republicans were all about freedom and deregulation. Why do you all cry so much and so loud whenever a private business makes a business decision you guys don't like?
This is freedom. Fox has the freedom to air what Fox wants to air, not what you want to watch.

How would you "convince" a television channel to keep a money losing show on the air?
Either you get more people to watch it and make it profitable or you say goodbye. What good will complaining to FOX do?

I guess Bill O'Reilly Finally Cried Hard Enough to his Bosses about the Judge being responseable for the Falling Ratings of his Show " The Factor " , that they just had to do something about it . Make no Mistake , the Judge HAD To Go for the Good of Corporate Disinfo Network , and Yes, the Judges Friendly ties to Ron Paul had Alot to do about their decision too .

That is the problem. The "news' as delivered through the popular media has become just another entertainment channel. It is no longer "news" in the sense it used to be. The so-called "news" purveyors compete for ratings and advertising dollars with all the other low brow entertainment offerings. The "news" is afraid to be honest, controversial, intellectual, informative, or present content that challenges the status quo. It is largely delivered in 5 minute segments between commercial breaks for fear that the viewers' attention span be taxed to the breaking point and fall asleep before the next commercial begins or, even worse, switch channels. News as information that people can trust and use to make sound decisions is dead.edit on 2/11/2012 by dubiousone because: (no reason given)
