TVNewser has an exclusive on the final fate of invisible Fox personality E.D. Hill today. Fox has decided not to renew E.D.'s contract, so she will be finally leaving the Fox News Channel after being off the air since June.
Some may remember the left-media storm targeting E. D. Hill that occurred back on June 6 when she off handedly said that Barack and Michelle's on stage fist bump was a "terrorist fist jab." The Huffington Post and Media Matters raised a storm of protest and soon after, E.D. Hill lost her Fox show.
Well, it seems to have taken some time, but as TVNewser reports Fox has announced they are not going to renew Hill's contract when it expires early in 2009.
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 officially apologized for the remark soon after the incident in June.
SO MUCH FOR—”FAIR and BALANCED”
Perhaps they, like many in the MSM, need to let people go and what a perfect scapegoat.
Fox can’t continue to kiss Obama’s ass if E.D. Hill is still on staff now can they?
...and if they don’t kiss his butt they won’t have any White House access, will they?...
If Fox thinks E.D. Hill has said some disparaging things about the “magic Negro”, then I guess I’m not much in favor there either.
Yo Rupert Murdoch, you sir are a serious dumb ass.
Funny, I had never heard that story.
Continuuing to keep FNC turned off and now even more reason to do so.
Fox is Stupid.
I’m still wondering what happened to Laurie Dhue, and who was the female at Fox News that said some serious sexual harassment was going on?
Something the current resident of the White House refused to do.
Sure would have made things better for him had he thrown out the likes of c.bs. or msnbc or a.b.c.
Not too bright that Bush guy is he?
ping
“...and what a perfect scapegoat.”
Got the skinny on her vital statistics?
I always like E.D. I can’t believe FOX threw her under the bus.
Well, el-toro poop! E.D. should never have left Fox & Friends, which I never understood the reason in the first place.
We know the tree by its fruits...
BS. She was fired because her “show” had a smaller rating than the test pattern and was so boring it was unwatchable.. This is an attempt to create a backlash against FOX.

I detest that Carlson woman!
