Fox News has reportedly let go of liberal analyst Marc Lamont Hill for, ostensibly, having opinions that did not jibe with the level-headed bunch bankrolled by Rupert Murdoch. In fact, it was Murdoch himself who announced Hill's ouster at a shareholder's meeting on Friday. According to Mediaite:

Murdoch made the announcement after a shareholder asked about Hill’s “reputation of defending cop killers and racists.”
