E.D. Hill

E.D. Hill was the host of the Fox News show America's Pulse.

On June 6, 2008, Hill made a comment about the fist bump that Michelle and Barack Obama exchanged on stage before his victory speech on June 3, 2008. Among other things, Hill characterized the gesture as a "terrorist fist jab." Some objected to this description, including the watchdog group Media Matters, which subsequently launched a petition against Fox News.The Swamp: Fox Anchor: Terrorist fist jab? (June 10, 2008)

On November 17, 2008, it was reported that Hill would be leaving Fox News, as her contract was not renewed.The Huffington Post: E.D. Hill to Leave Fox News (November 17, 2008)

Terrorist Fist Jab

As Hill was leading into a segment where she planned to discuss the 'fist bump' with a body language expert, she speculated as to the different possible interpretations of the gesture.

Hill said: "A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab? The gesture everyone seems to interpret differently."The Swamp: Fox Anchor: Terrorist fist jab? (June 10, 2008)

Hill apologized on-air for the comment on June 10, 2008. The same day, Fox News announced that it would no longer be airing America's Pulse.Wired: Watchdog Group Builds Online Portrait of Biases Pervading Campaign Coverage (June 10, 2008) The Huffington Post: "Terrorist Fist Jab" Anchor E.D.
