  Charles Fox Bennett - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles James Fox Bennett (11 June 1793 – 5 December 1883) was a merchant and politician who successfully fought attempts to take Newfoundland into Canadian confederation.
Bennett was a successful businessman and one of the island's richest residents with interests in the fisheries, distillery and brewery industry and shipbuilding.
Bennett became involved in politics in the 1840s as a leader of the island's Anglican community and an opponent of responsible government, an argument he lost when an alliance of Catholics and non-Anglican Protestants persuaded the Colonial Office to grant Newfoundland self-government.

All these activities reflect Charles Bennett’s life-long conviction that Newfoundland had considerable economic potential in addition to its fisheries, a point of view that was regarded as visionary in the first half of the 19th century.
Bennett argued that responsible government was unsuited to Newfoundland, not only because the colony was small and underdeveloped, but also because it would consolidate the Roman Catholic interests in the government.
Bennett did not emerge immediately as a party leader, however, because much of his time was absorbed by his mining and business interests; he spent every winter and spring in England where his wife was living.

 Nigel Hawthorne : Theatre : The Madness of George III - Review
Bennett does poke late 20th century fun at the absurdities of these men — bewildered by what we now know to be the hereditary disease, porphyria: Harold Innocent's suave blusterer, Cyril Shaps' Sir Lucas Pepys, whose interest is morbidly confined to the bowels, are delightfully fatuous examples of doctors gravely reduced to chronic quackery.
But Bennett is as interested in the dynastic and political intriguing which the king's great illness engendered, the power-games which the prim Prime Minister Pitt (Julian Wadham as a human ice-mountain) plays against the King's heir, the Prince of Wales, in alliance with Charles James Fox.
Bennett's sympathies are surprisingly royalist-traditional, devoted to the king and his Prime Minister rather than the heir and Fox.

 Newfoundland History in the 1860s
Bennett owned about one million acres in mineral rights, which would be transferred to the federal government under such terms of union and had much to lose.
Since Bennett's government had the support of most of the Island's Roman Catholic population, Carter's strategy was to portray the Bennett government as a predominantly Roman Catholic administration and thus prey upon Protestant fears of Roman Catholic domination once more, a strategy in which moderate Roman Catholics within his party acquiesced for political expediency.
Bennett's return to office, however, was short-lived for his government soon committed, what one historian--Ian Mcdonald--has termed "inadvertent suicide." With one seat vacant as a result of a retirement and expected to return a Conservative, Bennett's simply allowed his four-seat majority to disappear.

 BuzzMachine... by Jeff Jarvis
Fox Broadcasting Co. is appealing a record-setting $1.18 million fine for airing racy fare on a show called "Married by America," saying the government's indecency rules for broadcast television are unconstitutional because they don't apply to cable and satellite television.
Fox said the show was not indecent, and it argues that over-the-air broadcasters are now treated as "second-class citizens" by a Federal Communications Commission that unfairly holds them but not their rivals to decency standards.
If the FCC upholds the fine, Fox could take the case to court, creating the first test case against federal indecency standards in a quarter of a century, media lawyers said.
