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.
much better than Gretchen!
It’s time to drop the cloak of “objective reporting” and give us the common sense view of newsworthy events. I want to hear sound, brilliant biases thriving in the heart of proud conservatives on a news channel that defies the seductive trend of liberal elitism.
Let’s see who will create a serious news channel that proudly gives the news from a conservative worldview where all reporters must be socially and fiscally conservative.
Loved that show! But I was a Hong Kong Fooey girl, myself...
Hannity and Greta are all I watch on there any more. They are basically unwatchable.
I watch less and less of Fox anyway. There are a few bright spots on the network - Neil Cavuto and that morning crew. I stopped watching that gang that's on with Brit Hume because, except for Krauthammer, they're all moderate-liberal anyway. Even Brit has lost his touch these last few months.
There are some on the network that induce immediate channel-changing. O'Reilly is, and has been, a statist buffoon that thinks that more laws and more regulation are the answers to non-existant problems. Schwepp Smith is just plain liberal, and a whiney crybaby as well. He sealed his fate when he stood on that bridge post-Katrina begging for tax dollars from the fed to give to the deadbeats in NO who were dumb enough to elect an inept Mayor.
In general, I liked ED Hill. Much of her reporting was very common sense....except for the fact that she seemed to support Planned “Parenthood.”
I already have. Sad, but it is long past time for Conservatives to abandon all illusions of Media Sympathy.
The Progressive Business advertisers are not going to allow for Fair and Balanced, as anyone who watched Fox and their plain lousy coverage of this past election can see. They were "Conservative" the way Huntley and Brinkley were "neutral. Neutrality is an illusion, and I'm not going to be satisfied with the crumbs from the Liberal Table. Sorry.
I've never been exactly a fan of ED, but she's being persecuted, and that's crap.
She said something long time ago, and it was akin to calling Obama a terrorist. I thought they fired her,why is it news now? Michelle Malkin called Michelle Obama a baby’s mama,she’s not around either. I didn’t like either of them-too harsh.
“call fox and protest.”
What would be the point? They are already moving toward the dark side.
LOL
well done.
Why protest. What she said about the fist bump is utterly retarded.
And she really didn’t communicate much depth on other matters either.
She had a good run. Good for her.
There is a market for a true conservative news network. Why isn’t some smart business person filling the void?
Malkin is very much around. I see her on Fox all the time. She is NOT too harsh, she is a conservative.
Wait until they are turned loose with the orce of law behind them.
It was a dumb comment to make IMHO
E.D. should have known better before making her reference.
Yet it’s perfectly fine for two of FNCs girlie-men to air shrill ad hominem, unfounded, anonymous smears against Gov. Palin.
He is skating on thin ice.
