Hill for teasing a segment on Barack and Michelle Obama's "fist bump" by saying, "A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab? The gesture everyone seems to interpret differently." Brzezinski called Hill's comment "idiotic," and Geist said, "Talk about self-parody." http://mediamatters.org/items/200806100007 Tue, 10 Jun 2008 14:11:00 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200806060007 Teasing a segment on the "gesture everyone seems to interpret differently," Fox News' E.D. Hill said: "A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab? ... We'll show you some interesting body communication and find out what it really says." In the ensuing discussion with a "body language expert," Hill referred to the "Michelle and Barack Obama fist bump or fist pound," but at no point did she explain her earlier reference to "a terrorist fist jab." http://mediamatters.org/items/200806060007 Fri, 6 Jun 2008 18:24:57 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200805090011 On numerous May 8 programs, Fox News anchors and reporters promoted the notion that Sen. John McCain is reluctant to discuss his experience as a prisoner of war in Vietnam. In fact, as Media <em>Matters for America</em> has documented, McCain has repeatedly highlighted that experience. http://mediamatters.org/items/200805090011 Fri, 9 May 2008 19:36:15 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200804090013 On<em> America's Pulse</em>, host E.D. Hill falsely claimed, in a teaser for an upcoming segment, that "the U.N. says the planet may actually cool off for the 10th year in a row." Hill later asserted: "U.N. meteorologists now saying that we could have, for the 10th year in a row, a colder year, temperatures ... decreasing, not warming, getting colder." In fact, global mean temperatures, as measured in two widely used data sets, have not decreased in each of the past 10 years; further, according to those data sets' producers, the data continue to show a long-term warming trend. http://mediamatters.org/items/200804090013 Wed, 9 Apr 2008 21:38:23 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200802290005 On Fox News' <em>America's Pulse</em>, E.D. Hill falsely asserted, "[T]he law that lets them [U.S. intelligence agencies] listen in to phone calls from overseas by known terrorists expired two weeks ago." In fact, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) did not expire; what expired were revisions to FISA under the Protect America Act, which, among other things, expanded the government's authority to eavesdrop on Americans' domestic-to-foreign communications without a warrant. http://mediamatters.org/items/200802290005 Fri, 29 Feb 2008 14:21:47 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200801280012 On Fox News, E.D. Hill, commenting on Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's endorsement of Sen. Barack Obama, said: "[T]his is Barack Obama, who has -- I mean on his website, you look at it and sort of the whole thing is devoted to 'I'm a man of change because I want to get away from all that -- the hate speech and the partisanship that you've seen in Washington.' Ted Kennedy, you know, is that." Hill, however, offered no examples or evidence of Kennedy's alleged "hate speech," and Google and Nexis searches turned up no examples of Obama using the term "hate speech" to describe the political climate or discourse in Washington. http://mediamatters.org/items/200801280012 Mon, 28 Jan 2008 17:23:19 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200710050010 Responding to Barack Obama's explanation for why he stopped wearing an American flag pin on his lapel during the lead-up to the Iraq war, because it had become "a substitute for, I think, true patriotism," Fox News Live co-host E.D. Hill said: "When I heard this, actually, one of the direct quotes [of Obama] that got to me was 'I won't wear that pin.' It reminded me of the 'I didn't have sex with that woman.' " Fox legal analyst Andrew Napolitano then accused Obama of "disrespecting the American flag," while his Fox News Radio co-host, Brian Kilmeade, said that Obama was "anti-Betsy Ross." <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200710050010 Fri, 5 Oct 2007 17:51:07 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200703160013 On <em>Fox News Live</em>, E.D. Hill asserted that "it sounded like" former CIA operative Valerie Plame's testimony to a House committee was "completely skirting the issue of whether she still fell under those rules of being considered covert" when her identity was leaked. In fact, Plame specifically testified that she was "covert" until Robert Novak publicly revealed her identity in a 2003 column. http://mediamatters.org/items/200703160013 Fri, 16 Mar 2007 19:20:57 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200703060009 http://mediamatters.org/items/200703060009 Tue, 6 Mar 2007 13:01:16 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200702010001 http://mediamatters.org/items/200702010001 Thu, 1 Feb 2007 09:41:12 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200610260007 http://mediamatters.org/items/200610260007 Thu, 26 Oct 2006 14:10:03 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200609060002 http://mediamatters.org/items/200609060002 Wed, 6 Sep 2006 11:33:37 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200608090005 On <em>Fox &amp; Friends</em>, E.D. Hill and Steve Doocy confronted David Horowitz with <em>Media Matters for America</em>'s August 2 item exposing the "doctored quotes, shoddy scholarship, factual errors, and baseless insinuations on matters both small and large" in Horowitz's latest book, <em>The Shadow Party</em>. http://mediamatters.org/items/200608090005 Wed, 9 Aug 2006 12:30:46 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200606290009 On June 29, several Fox News media figures suggested that the U.S. government should "put up the Office of Censorship" to screen news reports to determine whether they "hurt the country" or are of "news value," in the wake of a <em>New York Times</em> article disclosing a Treasury Department program designed to monitor international financial transactions. http://mediamatters.org/items/200606290009 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:10:40 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200605310002 On <em>Fox &amp; Friends</em>, co-hosts Steve Doocy, E.D. Hill, and Brian Kilmeade discussed Associated Press staff writer John Solomon's recent report that Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid had accepted free tickets to several Las Vegas boxing matches from the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) while "he was pressing legislation ... that [the NAC] feared might usurp its authority." But like Solomon's article, the hosts failed to note that Reid signed off on the bill the NAC opposed -- to create a federal boxing federation -- allowing its passage in the Senate. http://mediamatters.org/items/200605310002 Wed, 31 May 2006 14:29:35 EST
