Free-marketeers.

From Mark Shield's column on CNN.com:

The editor of The Wall Street Journal editorial page and the host of the Tomlinson-backed PBS show was Paul Gigot, a respected journalist and agreeable colleague with whom I had sparred weekly for eight years on "The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer." These Journal panelists are all in near total agreement that tax cuts and unfettered free enterprise are good, while government regulation (with the possible exception of federally mandated de-icing of airline wings in sub-zero weather) and most Democrats aren't.

I'm all for the mandate, too.

The Wall Street Journal editors program was not a brand new TV show. It had appeared, until it was cancelled in January 2003, on the cable business channel CNBC, which Dow Jones, the publisher of the Journal, owns jointly with NBC.

So the show got canceled on the "free-market" and then got pushed by a Republican to get back on the air funded by federal tax dollars. Shields makes a good point.
