Hill was a political contributor for Fox News Channel where he appeared as a regular guest on The O'Reilly Factor, Geraldo at Large, and Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld. He was also a regular contributor to TheRoot.com and prior to joining Fox News Channel, Hill was a regular commentator on CNN, MSNBC, and Court TV.
Trained as an anthropologist of education, Hill's academic work focuses on the intersections between youth culture, identity, and educational processes. He is the author of Beats, Rhymes, and Classroom Life: Hip-Hop Pedagogy and the Politics of Identity. He holds a Ph.D. with distinction from the University of Pennsylvania and a B.S. from Temple University. From 2005-2009, he was Assistant Professor of Urban Education and American Studies at Temple University.
Recently, Dr. Hill was appearing on the O’Reilly Factor to discuss the president’s plan to send 1200 throops to the Mexican border. Imagine his surprise when in the course of the discussion, Bill O’Reilly said to his guest that he looked like a “cocaine dealer”. Hill replied to O’Reilly saying that he (O'Reilly) looked like a “cocaine user.” Why did O’Reilly feel the need to make this remark? Who knows, but maybe Dr. Hill should have vowed to keep away from Fox News after he worked for Fox News and they fired him. Dr. Hill didn't find out about his termination until he saw it in the press.
Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. The game on Fox News is always the same...lies, half-truths, distortions and out and out lies. No surprises there.
I'd be interested in knowing the circumstances that led to his firing. I'll look it up.
