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 listened to him two different times for a short period after the election. Both times he could not kiss Omama’s behind enough.

Since I do not care to convert Obama supporters.

Since I do not wish to “get along” with Obama supporters.

Since I do not like Obama supporters.

Since I do not want Obama to succeed.

Since Obama is not my President.

I do not listen to Hannity any longer.

Yep. Can’t offend the Office of President Elect.

Fixed it for you.

Fox was the last one I watched. I am so fed up with all of them that I just turned the tube off. Don’t even miss it.

Let’s be honest here. ED is being let go because she is way closer to 50 than to 40. That is the way FNC works.

Do writers write what they say or did she come up with that on her own? I’m just curious.

With the exception of Greta’s Palin coverage, I haven’t been watching them since election night. It’s easier than you think.

> They’re letting her go. Big deal, didn’t even know she was missing, what did she bring to the table? <

I agree with you. I always thought E.D. was a net minus for FNC. Ailes is making the right call this time!

(On the other hand, he made the wrong call when he let Kiran Chetry go to CNN. I’d trade her for E. D. any day!)

They were and will be again.

This time it will be the Whites they are terrorizing.

The pimple faced White pukes that voted for Obama are going to be in for a surprise because they will be one of thir targets.

Use INTERNET access

I switched off Fox and all other news outlets just before the last election.

I agree with your assessment, “using the Internet” gives a much better coverage of news.

Didn’t Rupert Murdoch sell a big chunk of Fox to a mohammedan not too long ago?

> I've never been exactly a fan of ED, but she's being persecuted <

Sez who? Has she made a statment? Has her agent? Has anybody else who is really in-the-know?

People are let go all the time in the entertainment business -- for reasons you and I often know nothing about.

For example, maybe E.D. and her agent simply asked for too much money during contract negotiations. Maybe she wanted excessive time off to write another book or to handle family matters. Maybe she's just a insufferable prima donna as soon as the cameras and lights go off. Maybe her audience ratings have been very low.

(In any case, Roger Ailes certainly didn't get where he is by making bad personnel decisions!)

I am going to email FOX News, but what if we also contact the Obama people?

I've been tuning out for awhile now. Since Tony Snow went to the White House, FAUX sNooze has made a sharp turn leftward. They are no better than MSDNC, Clinton News Network or C-BS.
