MediaMatters: "Fox News fires liberal commentator for being too liberal"- Fox News In-House Liberals

[TomCADem]

Have you ever wondered how or why former Democrats, or alleged liberals, like Alan Colmes, Susan Estrich or Geraldine Ferrarro end up agreeing with their right wing adversaries so much on Fox News? Well, because if they don't, there are consequences:

Fox News fires liberal commentator for being too liberal

So much for that experiment.

In August, I gave Bill O'Reilly credit for having the guts (since almost nobody else at FNC will) to put an smart, persuasive, articulate liberal on his show. At the time he invited Fox News contributor, and Columbia University professor, Marc Lamont Hill to discuss the right-wing's unhinged response to Obama's presidency. Hill, as the old saying goes, made mince meat out of O'Reilly.

Well, no more awkward moments for the over-matched O'Reilly, because Hill, one of Fox News' few liberal contributors, has been fired for his political views. Apparently, right-wing purifiers were calling for his head, so Roger Ailes showed Hill the door.

More conservative political correctness run amok. (Quick, somebody alert Rush Limbaugh!)

P.S. Why on earth would Mediaite.com think Fox News' decision to fire Hill was "surprising"? Because Fox News is such a bastion of diversity? Please, the move is utterly predictable as the RNC's cable outlet continues to narrow its sanctioned talking point between far-right and really far-right.

1. Fox is at war against smart, liberal black people

No secret about that.

2. No shock there. I guess Mr. Hill was under the delusion that he would be

able to express himself honestly....WRONG!!!!
