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.

I too miss Looney Toons and have several taped for when I feel nostalgic.

Hannity is next. They’re likely waiting on him to use some mildly politically incorrect statement that 1 person in 1,000 deems hate speech and he’s out.

The irony or it all, is that Hill is a Dem. and makes no bones about it.

I never was crazy about her, but this just isn’t fair.

Poor woman - apparently she didn’t get the memo dictating that the Obamessiah is not to be criticized in thought, word, or deed.

She’ll be fine for a time, until the knock comes on the door and she’s hauled off to the Labor Camp for re-education. She might wish to consider a cave in the mountains, or living abroad, for a while.

“Yep. Can’t offend the President Elect.”

If President Bush is called Mr. Bush then....

why not call him ... the Mr. Elect !!!!

I still remember my Saturday morning TV schedule circa 1960. If I got up early, there was THE BIG PICTURE at 6:30, featuring WWII newsreels. Then at 7:00 was MODERN FARMER, from which I learned how to run a family sawmill, and grind valves for a tractor engine. Then the good stuff started at 7:30 with CRUSADER AND RAGS. These were originally serials with short episodes, but entire stories were shown in an hour show, and these were epic. Then, I'm a little hazy on the order, but RUFF & REDDY were probably next. I particularly remember an episode feature "the professor's" ( whatever his name was ) [Ah, Professor Gismo, I might have known] craft which burrowed deep into the earth - presumably the inspiration for THE CORE.

The highlight was LEONARDO LION, which included YERTLE TURTLE and the Wizard, and various other characters. My dad would be up by this time, and he used to identify the characters as various oldtime radio personalities. I thought he was nuts.

Ah, the good old days.

I knew she was a Democrat, but she would have to have been a Reagan Democrat. The few times I saw the American Pulse show it seemed pretty good. She addressed illegal immigration very well I thought. I think everyone has forgotten the specials she did shining the light of truth on terrorists and defending out soldiers.

The comments at the source page seem to be indicating it is because she is old and they want to move in a young hottie. This may be true, but IMO she had the nicest set of legs at FOX. If they had replaced Shep Smith with her that would have been the best move FOX made this year.

ruff and ready, i remember them now...went over to youtube and watched!

a lot of looney tunes, i had not realized until now how many have been censored since the day, or out right banned. might explain why i see very little of them on TV.
this little gem popped up called Walt Disney Cartoon - Hitler's Children Education For Death...interesting and the “fairy tale” part in the beginning, funny....

Another reason to add why I do not watch Fox anymore.

My question is “Who protested”? Maybe conservatives need to set up a system to pick a part every mainstream media inappropriate comment and then orchestrate phone calls to the owners of the station!

Time to throw our clout around by employing the tactics of the left!!!

No more nice guys and gals!!!

This is easlly disgusting and I guess Fox is going into the tank for Blacks and B. Obama.

I’ll have to find another sourcefor News, since O’Reilly is in the sam tank.

just amazing the double standards we have in this country anymore...say anything you want about a country bumpkin from texas that becomes the leader of the free world but once the THE MAN (black) is elected watch your mouth...don’t you dare say a thing that can be construed as being rascist. (just shaking my head)

Given that Fox was about 75% in the tank for Obambi this election, I’m making my move. Since the Wall Street Journal is owned by the same Murdoch that owns Fox, I will be ending my subscription to that once-great newspaper and picking up Investors’ Business Daily instead.
