re: #54 Charles

I’m on record with my contempt for the Judge and FNC permitting the Judge via ‘Freedom Watch’ to promote Paul, Jones, Rockwell, and their ilk.

Doing a quick search, I’ve found that Cavuto had Paul on his show 3 times in ‘09 (1/8, 1/17, and 3/10) and in those, pretty much bashed Paul for his economic ideas and hypocrisy on earmarks. While the Judge is clearly a Paul supporter / friend, I do not see the same level of evidence that puts Cavuto at the same level.

Ultimately, though, the key point is that FNC, in particular with the Judge, is pandering for ratings by highlighting some very fringe people who should not get the stage they are getting at FNC.

It’s bad enough that the other news outlets embrace and promote the fringe on the left. There is equally no reason why the fringe on the right has to get ‘equal time’. If Olberidiot or Matthews are taken to task for going in the tank for Obama, then the Judge also has to be taken to task for doing the same for Luap Nor.
