Criticize Homophobic "No Homo" in Hip Hop and get your Pink Slip from Fox "News"
Dr. Marc Lamont Hill, a political analyst and associate professor of education at Teachers College in New York, learning what we all have known for awhile: Fox News doesn't like any support of "the gays" or any criticism of the network.

Hill was a talking head on Fox News. Key word being "was."

HIll had been an outspoken critic of the term "no homo" in Hip Hop, both on Faux News and in essays online like the one on Black Voices:

By punctuating even the most sexually non-suggestive sentences with a homophobic disclaimer, we reinforce the idea that gay and lesbian people are worthy of ridicule, shame, and surveillance."

How did Hill find out about his firing by Fox? By google alert. Stay Classy, Faux News...
