Fox Removes E.D. Hill and Her Show
THEODORE'S WORLD ^ | 16 June 2008 | Chrissie

Posted on 06/16/2008 4:15:56 PM PDT by radar101

E.D. Hill and her show, "America's Pulse" has been removed from her time slot at Fox, because of something she said in her news presentation . On June 6th last, on her former program, "America's Pulse," E.D. Hill teased in a segment about body-language about Obama's fist bump with his wife Michelle.

Obama supporters and the leftist blogs on the web were in a rage and an uproar about the comments, and George Soros' "Media Matters" began a campaign encouraging people to contact Fox and complaint about what is in their view an unforgivable slight of Obama and Michelle.

They called for E.D. Hill's resignation.

Media Matters blog:

http://mediamatters.org/items/200806060007?f=h_top

Fox and O'Reilly agreed that she was out of line,.typical of moderate O'Reilly who has stated many times he is not a Republilcan or a Democrat

She apologized for her comments, which apparently that didn't even help the situation . She was taken off her show at Fox. Fox caved in to the opposition, (Obama and Mediai Matters, MSNBC, and CNN's ) demands and Fox quietly cancelled E.D.'s show, "America's Pulse," chastised her, and relegated her elsewhere for the time being.

Huffington is thrileld and posted about all of this with glee.

E.D. HIll was great and full of life and even though I seldom got to see her show, I used to watch her on the morning show she did before she got her show "America's Pulse".

If you have seen her show and wondered where she is and would like to send an email about all of this the information is listed below.

And yet Keiff Olbermann is praised for his rantings about President Bush. Gawd, this is getting sickening.

That’s right, Murdoch was backing Hillary until she lost. Then I heard he thinks Obama will win the presidency.

I don’t think it’s an ideological thing. Murdoch and those types just support whoever they think will win for whatever advantage they can get from it. Now it looks like Obama, so he’s being careful about what Fox people say about him.

I did not here the Laura Ingram anouncement until about last Tues - Wed. when it was anounced on air by the co-hosts of the 5 PM show who were interviewing Ingram.

A few weeks ago? Got a source?

I don’t know her name but she is a real ditz. I’m often embarrassed for her.

Laura Ingram on at 5...what happened to Bill Hemmer and Megan Kelly, who replaced Gibson at 5....so many changes it’s hard to keep up with them.

Fox and O'Reilly agreed that she was out of line

So, how does O'Reilly have any say as to who stays and who goes on FOX? Just asking?

As for O'Reilly, my hubby and I used to always watch him. I've been watching him since he first debuted. However, he seems to be regressing into an EXTRA type program, which is where he came from.

My husband listens to a short snippet of Glen Beck's morning talk show while driving to the bus park&ride and has told me he learns more in that 5-10 mins than he does with a whole hour of O'Reilly.

So, I DVR Beck, and we watch that instead of O'Reilly. Plus, I can zip through the commercials.

Add to a general dissatisfaction with BOR, I believe that he is one of the media who worships at the Shrine of the Obama and is totally in the tank for both him and his wife. And it is early in the process.

fox and friends has never been the same since E.D. left.

It's unwatchable. Maybe it's too silly...

How many times has a liberal been removed for saying “hateful” things about Republicans?

They usually get a promotion for that.

It's Gretchen Carlson. She's not as bad as the weekend blonde airheads...you should hear some of their comments. The show is unwatchable.

Patti Ann Brown filled in this week with the guys and she was very sweet.

The fact that Olbermann is allowed to rant and rave and do the WORST list every night says a lot about NBC...

Just another fine example of “we can say it and get by with it but you can’t.”

Whatever happened to the reporterette on CNN that called Bush a monkey... not once but twice ... in a short timespan? Nothing?

Ever since O'Reilly got sued for sexual harassment, Olbermann has been mocking him every night.

PLEASE DO NOT BELIEVE THE HYPE!!!! MediaMatters don’t mean SH!T to Roger Ailes. Ailes is a professional. That timeslot was under-producing (ie, it wasn’t doubling-tripling the competition).

Think about this. If ED Hill was some kind of disaster, why would they replace her with.....Laura Ingraham????? Wouldn’t that be like a living nightmare for Media Matters?

Ailes is just shaking up the lineup to get more ratings by improving the product. I’m all for it. And I’d be looking at putting ED Hill back on Fox and Friends because she was the best fit on that show (and they can just remove Gretchen quietly).

So suck me Media Matters!!! Hope you like Laura!

Yes, but they were also on from 5 to 6, between Neil Caputo and Britt Hume, the same time as Laura Ingram is now. I enjoyed listening to Bill and Megyn...they are a lively couple.

I saw the video:

E.D. Hill Video

The "Terrorist Fist Bump" comment seemed to make no sense at all. E.D. was not pointed in the delivery nor gave any indication as to where the comment came from. It was strange!

From a website called, AltMuslim.com:
"...speaking of hypocrisy, and the southside of chicago- and barak obama- one time i went to the bud milliken parade ( a very big event- about 6 hours long) and at one point- michelle obama appeared waving on top of an escalade, she was wearing torn jeans, a drumpled semi dirty t-shirt half tucked in and out- and her hair was crazy undone- then she made a small speech- and actually referred to barak as her "baby daddy" (not baby's daddy even you'll notice)

some of the crowd bought it- but i thought it was really over the top in the way of pandering, as i knew she was going to a state dinner that evening and can only assume her demeanor and dress would morph accordingly.

im still not on the obama bandwagon- not because i disagree with his policies- i just can't figure out what they are."
http://www.altmuslim.com/a/a/e/2676/

#1 Definition of "Baby Daddy", from urbandictionary.com:
"Usually a broke ass black man; Who you met through a friend and had sex wit when you was upset and confused. Now you don had his baby and he dont pay child support and denies yo son ray ray. He just my baby daddy"
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=baby+daddy

CNN transcript:
WOLF BLITZER: We can take a look. Maybe he will and maybe he won't but she looks like she's about to introduce him. Let's listen in.
MICHELLE OBAMA: "My baby’s daddy Barack Obama. Yeah!"
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0411/02/se.06.html

#1 Definition of "Baby's Daddy", also from urbandictionary.com:
"A guy who is a lousy father, who gots one or more kids with one or more chicks and, thinks he's a pimp. And instead of takin care of the baby he goes out an finds another chick to ****. Until she too becomes just another baby's momma and he moves on. So on and so forth."

girl one: "Who is that?"
girl two: "That's my dumbass baby daddy and his dumb ho"
