Mediaite has confirmed Marc Lamont Hill has been fired from Fox News Channel. The liberal commentator was a regular on the network, most recently appearing as a guest on The O’Reilly Factor one week ago, according to TV Eyes.See also, David Horowitz, "The O’Reilly Factor’s Insult to Its Viewers Generally and to African Americans in Particular":
Interestingly, the news was broken by News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch at the companies stockholders meeting today, reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
Murdoch made the announcement after a shareholder asked about Hill’s “reputation of defending cop killers and racists.”
I am a big fan of The O’Reilly Factor. I think O’Reilly has done heroic work in taking on the media left, in speaking up for the little guy, in pursuing sex offenders and corrupt judges and being a stand up guy on a whole host of issues. I watch him regularly and regard him as a pioneer in honest television.Hill's own website has this description: "Dr. Marc Lamont Hill is one of the leading hip-hop generation intellectuals in the country."
That said, I find his continued promotion of Professor Marc Lamont Hill an embarrassment to his own standards and an insult to the intelligence of African Americans particularly and his entire audience generally ...
Yeah. Right. Good riddance to the guy. Columbia should follow suit (but they won't, since Hill's type is a dime-a-dozen over there).
Dan Riehl has more. And Memeorandum.
