Or - when you lie down with dogs....

Last Friday media analyst Marc Lamont Hill learned that he had been fired by Fox News through a Google Alert.

A Google Alert.

Here is the audio and transcript of his interview with radio host Steve Malzberg.

"I got a Google alert at 11 o’clock [a.m.] that it had been announced that I’d been fired. After that, I guess someone followed up later in the day, you know because I was sort of trying to figure out what was going on…I found out that it was true but other than that I don’t have any other information…I haven’t had any thorough conversation with anyone."

Then, over the weekend, a possible reason for his dismissal came to light. Seems that Hill had once said some not so flattering things about Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck. Seems that News Corp. chairman Rupert Murdoch broke the news of the firing himself, at stockholders meeting Friday morning.

There are those who say that Fox is an arm of the Republican party...what if it's scarier? And the Republican party is an arm of Fox?

See, Hill was being gunned for by rightie propagandist Cliff Kincaid, who works for "Accuracy in Media", and had been trying to get Hill fired...he told Murdoch that Hill is a "left wing cop-killer apologist."

Isn't it ironic that the same news outlet that's playing the victim and crying about the White House trying to "silence them" is truly silencing liberal commentators on their "news" channel?

Hey Hill, consider this a bullet dodged...count your blessings. This is what happens to someone who gives off the slightest whiff of 'fair and balanced' at Fox News.....
