Oh, hi
Fox News on Friday announced that it had fired "The Five" co-host Bob Beckel for a remark he made to an employee of color.
"Bob Beckel was terminated today for making an insensitive remark to an African-American employee," a network spokesperson said in a short statement.
Douglas Wigdor and Jeanne Christensen, lawyers handling a growing racial discrimination lawsuit filed by current and former Fox employees, said in a joint statement that Beckel told one of their clients, a black IT worker, that he was leaving the office while the employee serviced his computer because the employee is black. When the IT worker filed a complaint, Beckel attempted to intimidate him to withdraw it, Wigdor and Christensen said.

Good riddance.
How can these people even be around anymore? Seriously?
