E.D. Hill To Leave Fox News Channel

TV Newser has learned that Fox News anchor E.D. Hill is leaving the channel after her contract was not renewed:

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 gained notoriety several months ago when she referred to the "pound," "fist bump," or whatever you want to call the handshake that Barack Obama exchanged with his wife Michelle as a "terrorist fist jab."

Hill is an idiot far beyond her terrorist comment. Yesterday she was attacking some guy from the ACLU about the pledge of allegience. Her position: That little children should be forced to recite a pledge with the words "under God" in it because "America was founded on Christianity" . Why is Hill stupid? Well because those words were ADDED to the pledge in 1940 by right wing religious crazies and not part of its original neutral and patriotic content. In addition, America was founded by just as many agnostics, atheists, and people of little or no religiious afilliation as it was by Christians. To say otherwise is an outright fairy tale.

Unless you have some specific agenda to push, you know like pushing people into ovens at gunpoint, why would you insist on making children say anything like that if it would conflict with their personal beliefs? If you were truly neutral and a real American patriot you would start each school day with the following.­.. Children would be asked to stand out of respect for their country and if they WISHED they could recite the pledge WITHOUT the words "under God" in it. After the pledge was over you could have 1 minute of silence and tell all the children they can use that time to be quiet and pray as they wish or simply reflect on their great nation if they wish not to pray. That would be fair and I dont see anyone who would object to

Hey Eddie, apply at mnsbc, age don't matter.

[ChickyLaLa]

Um, can she do the viewing world a favor and take Meaghan Kelly with her, please!

[AlwaysRepublican]

Can't face the truth when it hits you in the head huh? At least FOX News is fair. Not kool-aid drinking drive-by media.

[daddyG56]

Hey, AR, if I admit that MSNBC was in the bag for Obama, will you admit that FOX was in the bag for Bush? As a viewer of both networks, I would call this fair. How 'bout you?

[sepiasiren]

WT hell--FOX FAIR? Of all the networks, all I can say is that the train wreck that is FOX is the only place where you see supposedly professional objective journalists roll their eyes, make faces and sneer at their left wing guests.

Yeah sure...fai­r...balanc­ed...

She might have a political future as a media consultant to Sarah Palin -- E.D. Nixon will forever be remembered for her "terrorist fist jab" remark, which beats Hannity and O'Reilly in its atrociousness -- those guys are pikers compared to her -- ED -- you will not be missed.

[sandiegoAD]

I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt. I think it was the poor delivery of the lead-in that screwed her up. As a result, it was interpreted as her OWN opinion about the gesture.
Look at the clip again:

She started out like this:

"A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab? The gesture everyone seems to interpret differentl­y."

What she said there was there are many terms people are throwing around regarding the gesture, such as "a fist pump", "a pound" and, listen closely to her enunciation of the last term--"a terrorist fist jab?" --clearly questioning the validity of such a crazy idea ....

Anyway, she should have done a better job qualifying it, imo . She did issue a clarification, which people have ignored.

Anyway, I'm shallow. I occasionally flip to FN for the eye-candy. Doesn't bother me if Mr Rupert usher in a new, younger d-blonde.

[AlwaysRepublican]

Ladies and Gentlemen.­..........­.......and all of you that fall under the category of "Other"...­....Joseph here as tried to make a funny.

Joseph....­.........W­hat Hannity and O'Reilly have sir, you will never have. Common Sense.

Thank God for Fox News and their FAIR reporting. I'm sure you get your news from MSNBC as the other five people in the country do. Just wanted to post this for the "fairness doctrine." LOL.

So Joe, enjoy your two years of liberal nonsense. 2010 it will all be over. Don't cry. Remember, I told you so.

[DeadlyArrow]

Are you laboring under the delusion that because a statement is made by YOU, that statement is automatically TRUE?
BWAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAH­AHA!!!!
You're still funny as h e l l. Keep the jokes comin'.

[zonafan51]

So long, farewell, good riddance!

[faucetman]

Slate's Christopher Beam said:
“When I realized the confusion I'd helped cause, I posted a correction. But it was too late. Liberal bloggers from all over had already seized on the phrase. Time and Politico misreported that the words were Thomas'. Then, fatefully, Fox News anchor E.D. Hill jauntily paraphrased "Hezbollah-style fist jab" on air as "terrorist fist jab." Hill wasn't endorsing the phrase, but she failed to make clear that she was citing SOMEONE ELSE’S (caps by me) characterization. She apologized the next day but lost her show anyway.”

The TRUTH is hard for you lefties.

[SOLERSO68]

LOL that makes it even funnier.He­y if you know this classy lady I have some work for her if she could used $20.00

[AllenD]

Whatever happened to personal accountability? I guess that concept does not apply to rightards.

[BillMcKay]

Now she can move on to her next job - Fred Thompson's new trophy wife.

[rasputin999]

So, it's goodbye to ED (Which stands for-idiot) Hill
It's just like Hitler said, you make one little mistake and they never let you forget about it!

[frybread]

Even though she's still attractive, at 47 isn't E.D. too old to be a trophy wife? Thompson's current wife is 42, so I'd think he'd go younger. Say, a nice-looking 30 or 40 year old. LOL

[Nina28]

Sara?

Here's your chance to keep in the warmth of the spot light, make it all about you babe, Right Wing Momma Palin 24 - 7 keep the FOX yellow tabloid news machine going.

Ah, why do I think she'll just be their guest appearance spokesperson for the next 4 years.

[jaslyn]

E.D. who? those blonds on faux news all look alike , think alike and talk alike.

[Nina28]

True, even their male bitcheees think alike.

[alnc]

Good Riddens...­..go get a real job.....th­at reports news.....r­ead the real news to us....inst­ead of support some agenda.

Fist jab that....to all the aging.....­tools....t­hey are now casting off at Fake News....La­urie Dhue....ED and Brigette..­...and Linda Vester....­.all credibilty gone......­and they will be seen as the used up tools Fox used and threw back into media.

[SuzeC]

Can we hope that Shepard Smith is next? Fox doesn't deserve him.

[karen8944]

My next question, now that she is leaving, when can we say good ridence to Big Mouth Bill, who is alway prfessing to say that they report the news.

[Axekick]

She's going to run for the governor of Alaska.

[HarryParatestis]

nah... she's to smart for Alaskans to want to vote for her. look at what they have got now.

[Loompa2000]

Elizabeth.­...we have a spot for you now....sig­ned ..Rupert

[HarryParatestis]

big deal. i'm sure fox can replace her, without any problem. let's face it, all they need is someone who is telegenic, has an 8th grade education, and can read a teleprompter.

[MikeTee]

So I gue Dublya will have to keep looking for his new job?

[RepublicanMicky]

And show as much cleavage and leg as Getchen Carlson did today.....­.
Come on E. D., you got to sell the goods if you want to play!!!!!!
