Hill joined the Fox News Channel in 1998 and worked as an anchor for Fox and Friends until 2006. After hosting the 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. block of Fox News Live from 2006 until her show America’s Pulse was canceled in 2008, she moved to the 2:00 p.m. hour. She also spent five years co-hosting Bill O’Reilly’s The Radio Factor. On The O’Reilly Factor, she had also filled in for Bill O’Reilly.
The television industry blog TV Newser reported in 2007 that it had obtained a copy of an internal Fox News Channel memorandum describing America’s Pulse as follows: “During this hour, E.D. will convey the news in a fair and balanced manner with her own passionate style and sense of humor.”
E. D. Hill “Terrorist fist jab”
Hill inquired whether a fist bump between then-presidential candidate Barack Obama and his wife Michelle after the final 2008 Democratic presidential primaries was a “terrorist fist jab” on an edition of America’s Pulse on June 6, 2008. Hill, speaking before a commercial break to introduce an impending topic, suggested that the motion was either “Is that a fist bump? Is it a pound or a terrorist fist punch? “When the segment resumed after the break, however, the phrase was never clarified. Bloggers and media commentators were outraged by the occurrence. The next day, Hill apologized for her remarks.
The following week, Hill’s show, America’s Pulse, was canceled by Fox News Channel. The Live Desk with Martha McCallum would expand to two hours (1–3 p.m.), and Trace Gallagher would join McCallum as a co-host. After the general election in November 2008, it was revealed that Hill’s contract with Fox would not be renewed. She planned to stay with the network until the end of her contract. “We elected not to renew E.D.’s newest contract,” says Fox’s Senior Vice President of Programming Bill Shine, but adds that “Hill has been a vital contributor to the success of FNC over the years, and we wish her all the best.”
