Fox Business Network's New Libertarian Show, "Freedom Watch" - More and More Extreme!

[TomCADem]

I guess Fox News is finding even more real estate on the right by trying to go right of Glenn Beck if possible. The interesting thing is Andrew Napolitano's catch-phrase, "Welcome to the Struggle." Doesn't it remind you of the propagandist Lewis Prothero in "V for Vendetta" saying, "England Prevails" as his catch-phrase?

Welcome to this struggle,” Andrew Napolitano said triumphantly as he wrapped up the first television episode last weekend of his libertarian talk show, “Freedom Watch.” He saluted the camera and concluded, “From New York, defending freedom, so long America.”

He will be back next week, a commercial said, with a special guest, Glenn Beck.

Mr. Napolitano’s struggle is for smaller government and individual liberty, Brian Stelter reports in The New York Times. “The American public needs to know and understand, the government serves you better when it serves you less. That’s the argument,” he said on the show. “Freedom Watch” is arguably Tea Party TV in its purest form to date.

It is the latest product of the News Corporation, led by Rupert Murdoch, and being shown on the weekends on the Fox Business Network, which is searching for higher ratings by adding provocative commentators.

1. "Welcome to the struggle" - holy fuck

It's only a matter of time before someone tries to assassinate Obama, blows up another federal building, or some other domestic terrorist act.

2. "It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression"

"It's symbolic of 'is struggle against reality".

(from "Money Python's The Life of Brian")

3. Y'know, this is the kind of stuff the RW TV station had in Venezuela

Pretty soon, they were on to threatening coups and the Chavez' life

4. Except when oil is involved

Then it's dole out the subsidies, fight trillion dollar wars, and pacify the corporates when they fuck up and destroy the world's ninth largest body of water in the world.

7. I think you just defined Fascism...

You know, the melding of corporate and political power as the sole thrust of government...

5. More shite to incite the perpetually

disgruntled brought by fauxsn00ze.

Hope they lose money. Too bad there isn't a Watch Dog station that calls them on their propaganda..I know mediamatters online does a fantastic job calling out the propaganda.
