Fox News announced on Friday it has terminated Bob Beckel, co-host of “The Five.”

The network released this statement to Variety: “Bob Beckel was terminated today for making an insensitive remark to an African-American employee.”

A black IT worker who came to work on Beckel’s computer reported the comment on Tuesday, according to attorneys Douglas H. Wigdor and Jeanne Christensen, who are currently representing the IT employee and other current and former staff ― including anchorman Kelly Wright ― in a class action suit alleging rampant racial discrimination at Fox News.

Fox says: "Hmm...we're being sued over racial discrimination. We should fire one of our few liberals for racism so that it looks like we're changing the culture."

Ha! Well I won't miss the dude. Perhaps he made a logical point once since his return. Can't remember one earlier.

He always reminded me of me. Just an asshole to everyone but not really a racist. Just a dick who'll say anything to anyone when he's mad.
