FOX Gives In To Pressure From the Left and Obama Say No More to E.D.Hill
This was the show where she made the fist bump question and got in trouble for it. SHEESH nothing was wrong with what E.E. Hill said.
And then this..................
Fox News' E.D. Hill Apologizes for "Terrorist Fist Jab"
E.D. Hill To Leave Fox News Channel
TVNewser has learned veteran Fox News Channel anchor E.D. Hill will not be renewed when her current contract expires. Hill, who has been with Fox News for more than 10 years, will continue with the network for the next few months until her current deal expires.
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 has been without a regular Fox News program since June 16, when America's Pulse was replaced by two hours of Live Desk. Ten days earlier Hill used the term terrorist fist jab when promoting an upcoming body language segment that was going to look into the primary night fist bump shared by Barack and Michelle Obama.
For most of her nearly 11 years at FNC Hill anchored Fox & Friends. In 2006 she moved to a late morning program then to the afternoons where, in the months leading up to the election, she'd been filling in on America's Election HQ.
Wild Thing's comment.........
OK so the very obvious question is, of all the tremendous amount of attacks on Gov. Sarah Palin will those at CNN and MSNBC and yes even a few at FOX be told to leave as well???? I mean fair is fari right? And besides E.D.Hill did NOT attack Barack Hussein Obama and his wife.
The left has called Bush a Nazi, Hitler, threatened his lilfe at the democrat websites and blogs and forums. Even the leftie protesters have had big signs and t-shirts calling Bush names. Lies about our troops and telling them to kill their Officers and yet how many of any of those people have been punished.
Almost every person on CNN and MSNBC have lied about Sarah Palin, promoted the lies about her, about her baby, her sex life, her work, her intellligence, her home, where Russia is located, her hunting, her pro life stance, her children, her daughter that is pregnant, her son in the service ............... non stop attacks 24/7 from the very day Palin was announced to be the VP candidate.
This really ticks me off this double standard!!
And SHAME ON FOX for being weak, kissing up to the pressure from the left and NOT taking a stand for their reporters!

FOX NEWS HAS BEEN A BEACON AS FAR AS TELEVISION NEWS IS CONCERNED, BUT THERE SUCCESS DEPENDS ON THE AVAILABILITY OF SOURCES. IF THOSE ARE WITHHELD, AND I AM SURE THIS IS WHAT IS THREATENED, THEN THEY LOSE THEIR CREDIBILITY.
CASE IN POINT,O'REILLY TANKED SO THAT HE COULD GET AN INTERVIEW WITH THE "MESSIAH" DURING THE CAMPAIGN, AND THEN SPENT THE REST OF THE TIME UP UNTIL THE ELECTION, PROMOTING 'THE ONE'.
ANY WONDER WHY BRIT HUME HAS DECIDED TO CALL IT QUITS? METHINKS HE SAW THE WRITING ON THE WALL.

It seems on Nov. 4th, FoxNews came to a fork in the road and they hung a left. My wife noticed her abscence from Fox several months back. It seems her questions were too probing and thought provoking. As we all know, free thinking will no longer be tolerated.
Half of the people in this country are so self-absorbed, they can't grasp the gravity of the peril we face. BHO tells them they'll get an extra $50 from Uncle Sam and they don't hesitate to jump on that bandwagon. Nevermind that they'll pay higher taxes on everything else. Tobacco, alcohol, tires, fuel, airline tickets...you name it.
E.D. will be ok. And I haven't watched Fox too much since Nov. 5. Everytime I turn it on, I see "The One". It's nauseating.

On O'reilly the other night he finally got to Chris Dodd and Barney Frank and their relationship to Fannie Mae. Rush jumped on this two months ago, where has O'reilly been...Hiding as usual, In 04 he had no problem attacking the Swift Boat Vets and wouldn't touch kerry.
I am beginning to believe Fox is in obama's pocket too.

Barack Obama and his supporters have to be the most thin-skinned people in the country who can't handle any criticism whatsoever. Not a good trait for a President under the public criticism microscope every minute of every day. The Obama censorship crowd wants to impose a Thou Shalt Not Criticize the Messiah, Barack Obama commandment across the country.
Fox should be ashamed of themselves for joining in with this crowd.

SEAN HANAGAN, you make a good point.
Fox selling out will imo will be even more obvious then what we have seen with CNN and MSNBC, becasue Fox started off with such a bang being a voice for truth and giving honest news.
O'Reilly lost my respect long, long ago during the Bush vs. Kerry election.

Jim, I sure hope Meghan Kelly is able to stay with Fox. I love how she takes a person on and does not back down. When I saw this about Hill I thought of Meghan right away.
Your wife is righit, we saw that too how all the punidts with Fox after Obama won were yakking it up how Obama will be ok and what a great speaker he is. Oh my gosh no way is he a great speaker for one thing. He can read a teleprompter and that is it.

Mark, see that is what turned me off to O'Reily too. I was so angry when he did that to the Swift Boat Vets.
This time too, he would lay into people that put Obama down and said it was not fair. sheesh

Les, haha yes that sign being changed in the graphic may not be exactly what Obama would do, but he sure wants to silence all of us.

Let us all remember "DON'T TREAD ON ME."

E.D. was there for me when FOX NEWS came into my living room in 1997! Now she is a 'PC' sacrificial lamb chop? SCREW FNC and now I ONLY watch Brit Hume at 6 p.m. (Special Report) and Chris Wallace on Sunday mornings at 9 a.m..
Bye bye FNC... O'Reilly is even a meglomaniac, big time!
