Fringe-promoting Freedom Watch debuts on Saturday (with special guest Sarah Palin)
Fox News contributor Sarah Palin will appear on Saturday's inaugural edition of Fox Business' Freedom Watch, a formerly online-only show that regularly featured fringe guests like 9-11 conspiracy theorists Alex Jones and Jesse Ventura, and Thomas E. Woods Jr., who has been a member of the League of the South, which the Southern Poverty Law Center has called a "racist" hate group. Freedom Watch is hosted by Fox News senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano, a libertarian who espouses anti-government conspiracy theories and views on Fox.
Jones, who appeared on Freedom Watch in March 2009, calls himself the "founding father" of the movement that claims the government helped carry out the September 11 attacks. Jesse Ventura appeared on Freedom Watch on March 22 and told Napolitano that he believed the government either "participate[d]" in 9-11 or "knew it was going to happen and didn't do very much to stop it." At no point did Napolitano refute Ventura. To the contrary, Napolitano said Ventura is a "champion of exposing government fraud and lies" and wondered if "people who question the government's involvement will be mainstreamed, rather than looked upon as an extremist fringe."
