Fox News’ E.D. Hill, the journalist responsible for causing alarm over Barack and Michelle victory terrorist fist jab, has apologized. Despite this she is getting her hosting duties taken away.
The network is not out-right firing her, but will be placing her in an as yet to be determined position.
And while part of me agrees with this, another part just gets angry that blowhards like Chris Matthews retain their position while others like Don Imus and E.D. get made examples of. The woman made a ridiculous, overtly overblown off-base statement in order to draw in viewers with a shocking and alarming story.
Thing is-1) Sometimes this works. 2) ED Hill is taking the fall for what a bunch of other people at the network are also resposible for.
