E.D. Hill To Leave Fox News Channel (Fired over comment about Obama)
http://www.mediabistro.com ^ | Monday, Nov 17 | www.mediabistro.com

Exclusive: TVNewser has learned veteran Fox News Channel anchor E.D. Hill will not be renewed when her current contract expires. Hill, who has been with Fox News for more than 10 years, will continue with the network for the next few months until her current deal expires.

SVP of Programming Bill Shine tells TVNewser that he "chose not to renew E.D.'s latest contract" but noted that "Hill has been a valued contributor to the success of FNC over the years, and we wish her all the best."

Hill has been without a regular Fox News program since June 16, when America's Pulse was replaced by two hours of Live Desk. Ten days earlier Hill used the term terrorist fist jab when promoting an upcoming body language segment that was going to look into the primary night fist bump shared by Barack and Michelle Obama.

For most of her nearly 11 years at FNC Hill anchored Fox & Friends. In 2006 she moved to a late morning program then to the afternoons where, in the months leading up to the election, she'd been filling in on America's Election HQ.

We need to all just quit watching Fox, along with the networks. Believe me, you can be just as informed, even better informed, without television news and newspapers. Use internet access.

It doesn't matter what she said. The Thought police have received a report of a possible thought crime. She's so lucky to be just fired. Hopefully she can make amends and be allowed to live.

Everybody needs to make sure that we can have our two minutes of hate with the face of Sarah Palin up on the telescreen. So I hope FOX and the rest of the MSM help us all support, love and honor Obamalamadingdong.

According to the story, she supposedly said:

"Ten days earlier Hill used the term terrorist fist jab when promoting an upcoming body language segment that was going to look into the primary night fist bump shared by Barack and Michelle Obama."

What really upsets me is that for the past 8 years, President Bush has been called every filthy, derrogatory name in the book - but the democrats have never had to pay any price for it.

I think FOX is a coward for allowing E.D. to be targeted like this.

To me .. this is just a taste of what the new "Obamaization" of America is going to be like.

“terrorist fist jab”


Hill has been without a regular Fox News program since June 16, when America’s Pulse was replaced by two hours of Live Desk. Ten days earlier Hill used the term terrorist fist jab when promoting an upcoming body language segment that was going to look into the primary night fist bump shared by Barack and Michelle Obama.

Another Obama lolipop sucker fired a conservative.

The media is being hypocritical.

It reminds me of when Patti Davis (formerly Reagan) paused naked for Playboy with a blackman to make her dad upset. Yet she was doing LSD and coke.

Tell me this: if she were truly happy and not racist doing this, why did she do the drugs and did not plainly, say, marry the dude herself.

There lays an interesting crux in the “liberal” mind.

They are not happy people. They hate life, are prisoners of their stupidity and bear it with lollipop, TV, sex and drugs, no matter who is president - and go into worse delusive “drugs” when their “lollipop TV elect” gets elected and further erodes their freedoms and opportunities.

It is a possession cycle which brings democrates/communists to power.

I quit 2 years ago and don’t miss it one bit. Wait till a news clip shows someone doing the ;power to the people’, clenched-fist—and a newsie will remark, ‘communist salute’.

“Wonder Twins”
One says “shape of ....” the other says “form of ... (or something”. And then they change to whatever they said.
Old DC television cartoons from the 80’s. Hung around at Justice League headquarters looking for damsels in distress. with Superman, Batman, Aquaman, Hawkman, Flash, Wonder Woman, and other vagrants. /:

They're letting her go. Big deal, didn't even know she was missing, what did she bring to the table? To be perfectly honest Fox channel is just a bunch of useless news readers. The only person worth two shakes is Brit Hume and maybe Cavuto.

FOX and Rupert Murdoch are trying to protect itself from the fairness doctorine and massive tax audits, tools which Obama and Co would use should FOX become too critical of the Messiah.

" Hill used the term terrorist fist jab when promoting an upcoming body language segment that was going to look into the primary night fist bump shared by Barack and Michelle Obama."

She should have said, "According to The New Yorker."
