Kincaid: Fox News Fires Marc Lamont Hill

You wont be seeing this scene again.

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.)

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

NEWSCORP Fired the Jerk!! LaMont Hill was an Embarressment to the Great Name of TEMPLE UNIVERSITY! The Obnoxious Nitwit
wasn’t Civil and just caused one to want to throw a “SHOE” at the Imbecile! Wonder what His Father Protector, O’REILLY has to say about his Firing? Glad to read that Mr. Murdoch blasted the words at the Shareholder’s Meeting that Mr. LaMont Hill was “FIRED!!!!” and not some more politically correct word like he “had moved on to a better opportunity!!:-) Chuckle, Chuckle.....

Excellent, as always. Thank you! I didn’t know most of that. Shocking that they ever hired him. He’s nothing but a home grown terrorist.

O’REALLY is a tribute to W.C. Fields’ famous saying!

You can almost always find an EX-SCHOOL TEACHER for a TV HOST that will make the Stupidest, Lowest Brained Audience appear and feel Intelligent! O’REALLY doesn’t qualify as a PINHEAD because Peanuts dont have heads or brains:-)

If Hill was fired, we will hear about it, although how could Rupert Murdoch be wrong?

Good.I couldn’t stand the fast talking idiot anyway. It was either mute or change channels when they had him on. He had nothing to say.

“Greta has been great lately. I did not watch her for a long time, now I make a point to catch her show.”

Bottom line is I think she is still in the Clinton camp - but that works for now. I’m glad she dumped that stable of lawyers she used to have on night after night.

I always thought Hill was kind of a lightweight anyway. He never impressed me with his debating skills on the O’Reilly show.

And all she does to gain that status is ask questions. She is about the only reporter that asks a question, gets an answer, then asks the obvious follow up question. She isn’t mean, she isn’t rude, but she’s direct. She asks the question that needs to be asked. Simple, really.
