Fox actually does the right thing

Terrorist fist jab: 1, E.D. Hill: 0.

In June, Fox News anchor E.D. Hill infamously called a fist pound between Barack and Michelle Obama a “terrorist fist jab.” Hill’s remarks were met with widespread criticism and ridicule, and shortly afterward, Fox canceled her nightly news show. Hill also eventually apologized for her remarks. TVNewser now reports that Fox News has refused to renew Hill’s contract. Hill has been with Fox News for nearly 11 years.

In a campaign season filled with absurdism and racism, this was one of the most outrageous and ridiculous statements made.
I can't imagine how any professional would ever think that this was even slightly appropriate to say about a presidential nominee, even on Fox.
