Kincaid: Fox News Fires Marc Lamont Hill

You won't be seeing this scene again soon.

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.)

It's confirmed: he's been fired. Hill admitted this to The Huffington Post.

Lol! I love their headline! It reads: "Fox News FIRES Marc Lamont Hill, Liberal Analyst"

"Liberal Analyst"? The guy was a friggin "Black Liberation" revolutionary communist like many of the people associated with Obama, including his "pastor" of 20+ years "reverend" Wright.

Yeah, she rocks. And, who would have said that a year or so ago? I think it’s when she started developing her crush on Rush. Seriously, she seems to really like the guy and that’s nice. And, she holds the Big O’s feet to the fire nightly.

Now, if no blondes go missing, her show can stay interesting.

Bill O’Reilly is cynical and only in it for money....makes 14 mil a year. He had that sexual harassment lawsuit that he settled very quietly and quickly for 2 million. Ever since then he is bitter and it is only money and power for him

He will tilt left or right based on a whim and what will get him better ratings. He has zero principles. He gets facts wrong and could care less

[ETL]

Thanks, Joe. Most of the info comes from David Horowitz’s and Cliff Kincaid’s websites.

[ETL]

Thanks, FRiend.

That’s just about the best news of the day!!!

[calex59]

Something must have happened to their Internet feeds because I can’t get Fox news on Freetube.net either, which is where I watch them. The local affiliates around the country are running on the net but the main Fox news is not. Something they will fix, and soon, I hope.

[Hattie]

Greta does great interviews. And fair and balanced.

[calex59]

and not some more politically correct word like he “had moved on to a better opportunity!!:-) Chuckle, Chuckle.....

Yeah, ususally they send out an email that starts out,"Good luck in your future endeavors":).

Has anyone heard any apologies from the KING of PINHEADS Himself, O’REALLY?? for advancing this Racist Fraud’s career and Anti-American Agenda at the cost of an Unsuspecting and Formerly Trusting Audience???

[True Republican Patriot]

WHERE,OH,WHERE is the Skirt????

Not Complaining! Actually thought it had been Photoshopped!
Couldn’t see much more on the famous Britney Spear’s Explicitly Intimate Photo Exploration!

[fkabuckeyesrule]

Good. I think O’Reilly liked having him on his show so he could get some street cred from the peeps. I geuss they’ll have to find another race merchant.

[CriticalJ]

Smarmy bastard.

Good riddance.

“O’Reilly is in cahoots with zer0, mark my words. “

There’s something about O’Reilly that bothers me. It’s as if he wants us to believe that he is this charitable, Constitution loving guy, but is hiding his true intentions and beliefs. The more I listen to him the less believable I find him. Now, wouldn’t it be a hoot for Beck to expose him?

[paulycy]

The more I listen to him the less believable I find him.

I've watched BOR for years. (I know, I know...)

But he acts weird on everything concerning BHO. Almost like he's hiding something, but certainly he's not being forthcoming about his opinions of The One IMO.

[fujimoh]

PHd? Where’d he get it, Phoenix online?

[personalaccts]

I never understood why Hill was on the Business shows. He’s a commie

[fujimoh]

“Something must have happened to their Internet feeds because I can’t get Fox news on Freetube.net either ... “

This happened at 5:10 pm EST yesterday during Beck ... at first the message was that it was disabled, then show does not exist, to content is offensive to many viewer. Fox added a subject to their contact form about watching FoxNews online. I suspect that they are going to provide the channel on a fee-based subscription basis very soon. I doubt that they will be found again on web for free; Murdoch stated that he felt that news should be paid for ...

[stevie_d_64]

Well hang on a second...Shep called it right when he said they need to canvas that home real good, because that kid was hiding...

This was Wayyyyyyyy before the kid was actually found...

But then again, and broken watch is right twice a day...

“Kincaid: Fox News Fires Marc Lamont Hill”

I hope that’s not true.
Some relatives were driven NUTS by watching him.

I convinced them that the MORE this Shameless Socialist Professor
appeared on FOX News Channel...the better for America.

To see what Obama and Co. are all about.
And that guys like this probably would convince Obama to move even
further to the left. And hopefully make the scales fall from the
eyes from enough 2008 Obama voters so they’d never vote for Obama
(and maybe a Democrat) again!!!

(assuming there was room at that end of the political spectrum
if there was still room!!!!)
