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."

She's obviously gonna be replace by Eliabeth Hasselback

[AprilPA]

It means that Fox News will replace one blonde with another!

I would love to see one of these Fox News blondes take on Maddow on MSNBC. The Fox News blondes would be afraid to take on Maddow because Maddow would put those blondes to shame.

[Actongue]

I would think she could get a lucrative contract with Playboy
The Fox Girls or such edition.

[mexglx]

I'll buy that 4 a dollar.

[louden]

Is it me, or do any of you think that Fox will go with somebody younger, hotter, blonder and a bit further to the right?

[tifaret]

"Younger" is the catchword here. The article states she's been with fox news for over 10 years, which means she's definitely getting over the "hill", so to speak.....

[AlindaFaye2000]

Now for the rest of Fox to go away. That was a stupid thing for her to say.

[judesedit]

Maybe we don't want government checking our every word, but it sure would be nice if these self-serving liars were silenced. They do nothing constructive to help this country in these trying times. They only incite violence, division, illiteracy, and ignorance. I guess that's what people do when they're drowning. Gasp for air, grab at anything and everything that can maybe help save them. Too bad it's not just about them. It's about being a reliable news source for the UNITED States of America. FAUX NEWS has failed miserably. My television forgot how to get there years ago. Cheers to the truth..wha­tever it is.

Good riddance, one and all....who­oo hoooo!

[fleetw1978]

where the hell do you go after being dumped by Fox? No credible news organization would hire her would they.

[intelliwoman]

Thres always CBN - the Christuan Broadcasting Network, or trinity Broadcastin

[tifaret]

She could do background research for the "sludge" report...

[mexglx]

Didn't a morning show lady from Fox take the morning show from Soledad O'Brian at CNN? I think there are plenty of opportunities for E.D. TV News is like coaching in sports. One teams loser coach is the next teams salvation. I just wish they would have fired her the day after the "fist" comment. Fox instead just quietly let her slip away quietly so as not to draw attention.

[BobbieD]

Another harteful bubblehead bites the dust.

Eeeee Haaaawwww!!!!

[zest]

She is only the first to go; there will be many more. The so called conservative movement is dead in this country.

[ceasespin]

this marks only a mere sliver of improvement for the news media

to make a real impact, sign the FCC News Quality Rating System petition at http://FixNewsNow.org

The rating system proposed by http://ceasespin.org is a viable alternative to the "Fairness Doctrine"

Thanks for the link; this is yet another system that is broken and needs fixing.

[JeanPaulSatire]

This has to be one of the most idiotic and dangerous ideas to come along in a while.

For one thing, the FCC does not and abso-friggin-lutely SHOULD NOT regulate print media.

For another, the FCC is one of the most politicall­y-motivate­d agencies in the federal government.

But, even setting those concerns aside, the LAST thing we need is a governmental standards board for journalism. That is a direct pathway to censorship, whether self-imposed or by fiat from the feds or its deputized boot-lickers.

Is there a more opaque, secretive and subjective entity than the MPAA? (The Office of the Vice President does NOT count in this.) Does anyone really think the MPAA is something to be replicated for the purpose of rating the information to which "We the People" have access?

Accept a federal agency's imposition of such standards and forget ever reading/he­aring/seei­ng anything about questionable acts and decisions of the federal government. A press (in the broadest sense of the term) that is not independent of the government is not a free press.

Why do you hate the 1st Amendment so?

[mexglx]

Agreed. No Censorship. No Rules. I'll judge what I read and watch. FCC complains about Janet Jackson's boob but is OK with myriad CSI, Law and Orders etc showing bodies and violence. Gimme a break. Thay can't monitor entertainment so I definitely don't want them ruling over serious topics of discussion.

[MorpheusXNYC]

The "fist pound" is actually called "dap".

[cybertoothcat]

When E.D. Hill was in the Pittsburgh market, she was known as E.D. Tarbox. Just letting E.D. know that she hould take her venom somewhere else. We don't want her back!

[AprilPA]

I remember her when I was a kid like 20 years ago! Wonder how much plastic surgery she has had!

[belong]

I remember her in Pittsburgh, too. I also remember she wore dresses that looked like she was heading out to cocktail parties when she was done reading the news. Never impressed with her.

[osage]

She'll find a job somewhere in the evangelical boondocks preaching hatred to the same uninformed, uneducated, low IQ inbreeds who think Sarah Palin is a hot political messiah. Saying whatever comes into their dysfunctional mercenary little brains is something pretty Repulican woman have learned to do because to look good is a free pass in Republicanville America.

[doublels]

So SHE's the one that made this idiotic statement!

[frost12]

IRONY: SO BEAUTIFUL YET SO CORRUPTED !

[Pambie]

Ah ... a spot for Elisabeth Hasselback.

[Pegi]

or Mika from Morning Hearburn.
