Sports columnist Jemele Hill was just named journalist of the year by the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) after she called out Trumps racism, and Fox News is extremely upset about it.
In their release on the award, NABJ noted, The annual award recognizes a black journalist who has amassed a distinguished body of work with extraordinary depth, scope and significance to the people of the African Diaspora.
The pro-Trump right-wing propaganda network was so outraged by the honor given to Hill that they devoted an entire segment of Fox & Friends to the issue. The three-minute long complaint occurred on Trumps favorite show on the network which has been the source of several of his Twitter tirades.
Anchor Ainsley Earhardt began the barrage by claiming, She once blasted our president as a white supremacist, but apparently this controversial ESPN host deserves a big award.
Throughout the segment, Fox alleged that Hill was unemployed, and cited the fact that she was no longer the co-host of the program SC6 on ESPN. But as is often the case at Fox News, thy lied to their viewers about Hills status.
As was announced by ESPN in January, Hill is a featured columnist for the site The Undefeated. She has been writing columns there for months.

Fox ignored this, and guest Lawrence Jones of the right-wing site CampusReform.org said, The National Black Association of Journalism is literally saying now, were going to applaud unemployment, and thats not something I stand for.
Co-host Steve Doocy backed Jones ignorant attack and said, When I was in journalism school it was all about just the facts. But now apparently journalism looks a lot like activism. And sometimes you watch the briefing at the White House, there are a lot of activists in there.
