Cliff Kincaid over at Accuracy in Media (AIM) announces Fox News has fired Marc Lamont Hill. Cliff represented AIM at NewsCorp's annual meeting. (”Accuracy in Media is a News Corp. shareholder.”) AIM reports that he asked Rupert Murdoch why someone with Hill's radical views would have a role as a Fox News commentator:
Before Kincaid completed the background for his question, News Corp. chairman Rupert Murdoch interrupted Kincaid to say that he appreciated Cliff's work on this matter, and that Hill had been "fired" last week.
We look forward to confirmation of this report. If accurate, it is a major improvement to Fox News and cable news in general. People of every side of the political spectrum should appreciate a robust debate, but radicals of Marx Lamont Hill's ilk do not merit a seat on the highest rated program in news, The O'Reilly Factor.
David Horowitz started the ball rolling when he questioned why Bill O'Reilly interviewed Hill, a "hip-hop culture" expert, for an entire segment about Iran. Then NewsReal bloggers, Cliff Kincaid, and others began digging... (More after jump.)

That’s racist! /s
That’s a shame. I like seeing moonbat liberals make a fool of themselves on Fox.
Now get rid of that obnoxious Shepard Smith. He was just embarrassing during the balloon story yesterday.
O’Reilly is in cahoots with zer0, mark my words. He writes a fluff piece on him in a Sunday paper magazine, gave him a softball interview during the election, and I bet he makes the Wednesday night media cocktail parties at the White House occasionally. O’Reilly is turning into a Geralso clone.
Lamont Hill was Fox’s equivalent of the court jester. What did he do that finally pushed Fox over the line?
bump
how do you fire someone who dosent work for you?
They found stuff in his background check...
Twitter posts... his myspace. Defending a cop killer..
his radical black nationalistic background too..
YEAAAAAAAAAA!!!! HOORAY!!! OK, now speaking of FOX News, how come I can’t get Fox News on BlinkoTV or TikiLive??? What happened???
He’ll be over at PMSLSD by next week.
He was made a Fox News contributor. That’s a paid gig. Kudos to all involved for getting him fired.
Hill was probably photographed wearing a Black Panther jacket while standing outside the White House.
Good for Fox! Eliminate the race baiters who
see it behind every face, statement and motive
of everyone who’s not liberal or a minority.
He’ll probably be appointed the Race Czar.
He’s (Shep) an embarrassment every day. Go figure...
I have to tell you, I don’t see O’Really as being much better, no matter what his ratings are.
He means well, but he just doesn’t get it. I have to cringe almost every time I watch the show, so I don’t.
BOR must be crying in his beer.

And Gretta is getting better.
Bring back the Dhue.
