E.D. Hill to leave Fox News
She hasn’t been on the air since June 16th apparently because during a promo for a segment on non-verbal communication on June 6th, she said this about Barack and Michelle Obama’s fist bump:
HILL: A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab? The gesture everyone seems to interpret differently. We’ll show you some interesting body communication and find out what it really says.
That seemed to get her into some big trouble when Media Matters and Huffington Post, two far left organizations threw fits about her comments. As a result she was yanked from the air. Now we’re hearing from TV Newser that her contract won’t be renewed. So, Republican candidates like Sarah Palin can be criticized, maligned, insulted, and besmirched and that’s just fine. But say anything that’s even the slightest critical of a Democrat candidate and you’re yanked from the air.
E.D. Hill has been one of my favorite news people since I started watching Fox News and Fox and Friends back when she was E.D. Donahey. I’m afraid this is one more illustration that Fox is moving more to the pro-Obama left in its programing. That’s a shame. Soon I won’t be able to watch any television broadcast news because I won’t be able to stand all the fawning.
Problem is she wasn’t critical of HRH King Barack. What she was doing was listing off the long list of things that the little “fist bump” was called by others to introduce a story. I really don’t understand how that could possibly have been taken in any other context, but then again, I’m forgetting about the offenderati.
Even more interesting, she’s a Democrat.
