FNC Liberal Pundit Marc Lamont Hill Fired (background data) TV Newser ^ | 10/16/2009 | Kevin Allocca

Posted on Wednesday, October 21, 2009 2:34:15 PM by markomalley

THR reports that Fox News liberal commentator Marc Lamont Hill has been fired from Fox News. At an annual News Corp. meeting today, chairman Rupert Murdoch is said to have "revealed the move after a shareholder had raised the question of how Hill was hired, citing his 'reputation of defending cop killers and racists.'" Hill's firing has been confirmed. THR's Georg Szalai:

Hill, a frequent guest on "The O'Reilly Factor" and other Fox News shows, has been the target of increasing criticism on the blogosphere for alleged sympathies to controversial figures including Assata Shakur and Mumia Abu-Jamal. Though Hill bills himself as an expert on hip-hop culture, he also drew fire for serving as a liberal foil for various Fox News personalities on subjects far from his stated area of expertise.

They need some Liberal stooge for Billy “O” to slap around and Marc Lamont Hill meets that criteria.

I cant find anything other than short blurbs saying he was rehired. Maybe BOR had something to do with it. He only has a few tokens to choose from and they all come with a history of baggage.

I know - I was just watching O’Riliey and immediately switched the channel to an infomercial channel... I will not watch that A-hole...

I suspect that there is some kind of contract in place and Foxnews cannot get out of it without significant money and possibly a losing lawsuit...

Well - I just may now buy a Total Gym ....

Damn how stupid of Foxnews to have such as ARSE on the air...

He’s not making 6 figures from Fox anymore. Probably just a regular guest now.

LOL! I just turned O’Reilly off when I saw Lamont’s face. Caught the interview with Sarah.

Not even a notch. I heard him speaking from the other room and wondered WTF is he back for? Rambling stutterer in his speech patterns in my opinion.

Hill (AA PHd) is a little slimer...I don’t watch O’Reilly much anymore, but I happened to tune in tonight. I’ll email O about Lamont Hill and then that lawyer that he had on in the next segment...more progressive offal.

I was getting ready to do a post on this myself. This SOB is a "Black Liberation" communist revolutionary like Bill Ayers, Rev Wright, Van Jones, etc, etc. O'Reilly is such a know-nothing jackass.

Here's a post I put together before his so-called firing...

The Extreme Makeover of Fox News: Analyst Marc Lamont Hill [far left radical]
Accuracy In Media - AIM Column ^ | October 2, 2009 | Cliff Kincaid

Posted on Saturday, October 03, 2009 9:59:20 PM by ETL

Who would plaster his Twitter page with police mug shot photos of convicted cop-killer Assata Shakur? Fox News contributor Marc Lamont Hill did. At least until David Horowitz and Accuracy in Media took notice and wrote about it. Now the page features photos of boxing great Muhammad Ali. Hill's MySpace page is also gone.

There are other changes as well. The tributes to Shakur and black racist Khallid Muhammad, known as "America's Black Hitler," have disappeared from his web pages. The articles were saved, however, and can be found here.

What a shock to see this ass back on FNC tonight.

I promptly fired off a nice email to BOR stating Lamon’t obvious coke induced “I’s can talks faster than anybody and so am only one to speak, you know mofo”.

Advised Mr. BOR that anytime BOR wants to reduce his audience, just have this butthead back on.

Two words: “Protected Class”. My bet is that Murdock reversed himself after being advised how much money Fox would end up paying to defend itself against discrimination. In fact, I would bet a LOT on it. That kind of crap is as natural to people like Hill as breathing.

It seems like BOR likes to have dispicable people like the a-hole to bat around. I think it makes him feel better.

Thanks. Too bad the same can’t be said for Bill O’Reilly and most of the other vastly overpaid nitwit commentators.

They tried to get Michael Jackson, but FOX had to settle for LaMont. He is the token liberal Negro. BOR wants to show that he is not racist. It is the typical double standard. I guess Hannity will have to find a black female liberal in order to keep up. That means that Beck will have to hire some black liberal midgets to come on his show. Will the PC cycle ever end?
