E.D. Hill, Fox Contract Not Renewed. Fired Over Obama Comment?
NEWSBUSTERS ^ | November 19, 2008 | Warner Todd Huston

Posted on 11/19/2008 12:13:26 PM PST by radar101

TVNewser has an exclusive on the final fate of invisible Fox personality E.D. Hill today. Fox has decided not to renew E.D.'s contract, so she will be finally leaving the Fox News Channel after being off the air since June.

Some may remember the left-media storm targeting E. D. Hill that occurred back on June 6 when she off handedly said that Barack and Michelle's on stage fist bump was a "terrorist fist jab." The Huffington Post and Media Matters raised a storm of protest and soon after, E.D. Hill lost her Fox show.

Well, it seems to have taken some time, but as TVNewser reports Fox has announced they are not going to renew Hill's contract when it expires early in 2009.

SVP of Programming Bill Shine tells TVNewser that he "chose not to renew E.D.'s latest contract" but noted that "Hill has been a valued contributor to the success of FNC over the years, and we wish her all the best."

Hill officially apologized for the remark soon after the incident in June.

“Fox can’t continue to kiss Obama’s ass if E.D. Hill is still on staff now can they?”

Sorry, I can’t STAND Gretchen Carlson. To think that Fox dumped Kiran Chetry because she wanted to not have to “share” a spot on Fox and Friends makes me angry to this day. They spun it that Kiran wanted Gretchen fired, when all she wanted was to have Gretchen do something else besides taking Kiran’s spot on a regular basis. Did NBC replace Katie Couric with someone else every couple of days? No! Kiran’s request was actually quite reasonable but it was spun that she was some kind of evil backstabber. What are we left with? A sanctimonious, overly religeous, ice queen with a minimal sense of humor. Sorry first they bin Kiran, now E.D. Hill... Fox can go to hell!

That subtle SUCKING SOUND is the sound of FOX quietly SUCKING UP TO THE LEFT. In a year, they’ll be another CNN, and E.D. will have another job, along with Sean Hannity and others.

You dumb bimbo. Your ‘personal knowledge’ is hardly a credible source. For all we know, YOU could be lying.

Why the hell should I believe you over the poster at Newsbusters? Who the hell are you? Some brain dead, uppity bimbo on Free Republic. Your word is worth crap.

Too bad. I always liked her and stopped watching “Fox and Friends” when she left it.

I’m still wondering what happened to Laurie Dhue

I don't either; she'd have made a great replacement for Shep.

I find Shep very entertaining to watch! Recall the J Lo blowjob comment? I keep watching hoping to see more like that one!

Oh my gosh, what do I see, someone who dares look at a news story and not believe what she is spoon fed... BRAVO! I didn’t know there where any critical thinkers left. I thought we just where all part of the knee jerk reaction Olympics.

I too like E.D., she is a breath of fresh air at Fox. I like a lady with balls, who is not afraid to tell it like it is. Yes Fox has brushed their teeth and put on lipstick to kiss obama’s bony ass. And if we are talking big asses well then michelle says it all! If she had to haul ass, she would have to make two trips.
