Fox News has fired Jessica Herzberg, the freelance producer responsible for the "Obama's baby mama"

In June, during a segment on Fox News' "America's Election HQ," a chyron read: "Outraged Liberals: Stop Picking On Obama's Baby Mama!"

At the time, Fox News' Senior Vice President of Programming, Bill Shine, acknowledged Herzberg's poor judgment, saying, "A producer on the program exercised poor judgment in using this chyron during the segment."

Herzberg has reportedly moved on to CNBC.

Love some of the comments regarding this move by faux:

1) The tone of the entire channel sets the precedent for this kind of behavior. If there was any sincerity to this, they'd fire some of the bigger names on the channel.

Fox is jumping ship from being republican shills. They don't want to be alienated by the new democratic white house. Alterion

2) Good for Fixed News! I'm still not gonna watch though. NPA

3) Every so often Fox pretends it is a real news organization!!! It is all a pretense, though! realpolitic

4) In the absence of leadership with trickle-down-news-a-nomics this is what you get: coulter, oreilly, hannity, greta...The thought of an african american as president in the white house is something some cannot handle. rolitt

check might not be cut, their ad revenue from psychotic right-wing focus groups and anti-democratic former paper billionaires will trickle down to nothing ...

very disappointing
