anti-Semite CNN hack Marc Lamont-Hill was finally fired today after video came out of him calling for the destruction of Israel. Marc Lamont-Hill has been with CNN for years, yet was suddenly fired today, with no press release, no Twitter or Facebook statement and more importantly, no condemnation of Marc Lamont Hill’s antisemitism. The only “statement” from CNN was to left wing site Mediaite stating “Marc Lamont Hill is no longer under contract with CNN.”
This isn’t the first time Marc Lamont Hill has made anti semitic comments, but apparently it was finally enough to get him fired. It’s just not worthy of condemnation by CNN. Hill is also still a professor at Temple University.

Moments after this NewsBusters post was published, CNN came out with an exclusive statement to Mediaite’s Aidan McLaughlin that the Jeffrey Zucker-led network had cut ties with Hill following his disturbing and embarrassing speech Wednesday at the United Nations against Israel that included an endorsement of violence against the Jewish people.
CNN’s statement was only one sentence as a spokesperson told McLaughen that “Marc Lamont Hill is no longer under contract with CNN.”
However, it should be noted that the CNN spokesperson nor the network writ large conceded that there was anything wrong with Hill’s remarks or that the Jewish people should be able to live in peace.
In other words, they must have been okay with Hill’s radical, violent views, which is ironic considering their “State of Hate” reports this week on the rise of hate crimes. Then again, it’s largely an issue on the right as CNN has tried to tacitly link those right-of-center to a bunch of loser neo-Nazis.
