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.

Very bad news.

Fox Business Channel has unceremoniously cancelled Freedom Watch with Judge Andrew Napolitano.

Ratings were not an issue, since the show was one of the top-rated shows on Fox Business Channel. Since no reason was given, one can only assume it was the consistent antiwar, pro-freedom, and anti-establishment views.

Fox’s press release stated:

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.

Freedom Watch will be replaced by re-airings of shows run earlier in the day.

You may have noticed the banner for the Civil Liberties College Tour the on the top of Antiwar.com’s home page recently.

Young Americans for Liberty and the Future of Freedom Foundation are concluding this tour tomorrow at Ohio State University. The speakers are Glenn Greenwald, Jacob Hornberger, Bruce Fein, and Jack Hunter.

You can view the video from Tuesday’s presentation at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis.

On Thursday evening, Feb. 9, Antiwar.com economist will be giving a public talk at the University of Rochester in Rochester, New York. It will go from 7:30 to 9:00, with ample time during that time period for Q&A. The talk is titled: “Do We Need to Go to War for Oil?”

Read about it at David Henderson’s blog or view the University’s flyer.

It came to our attention today that an excerpt from a 2006 column that was incorrectly attributed to Jim Lobe was quoted in an article that appeared today at Politico.com.

Some of our old archives are being misindexed by Google.

The article that appeared at http://www.antiwar.com/lobe/?articleid=8690 never actually existed as such. Under our old database, the authors were switched around in the Google harvesting.

The Serbia article was actually written by Paul Craig Roberts and appears here:
http://antiwar.com/roberts/?articleid=8690 (readers can see it has the same date and article ID number).

We have corrected this problem and that old URL now goes to the Roberts article.

Please accept our sincere apology.
