Fox News has just lost its fourth primetime star in less than a year. The story behind the latest termination might sound familiar to anyone familiar with the number one cable news channel’s recent struggles.
In the past 12 months, Fox News has lost Greta Van Susteren, Megyn Kelly, Bill O’Reilly, and CEO Roger Ailes. O’Reilly and Ailes were fired for allegations of sexual misconduct, Susteren left as a result of that misconduct, and Kelly’s private testimony to Fox News lawyers about the misconduct reportedly caused a toxic environment that forced her to leave the network.
The latest Fox News firing follows a similar theme. This time, however, it’s racism, not sexism, that’s forcing out a primetime star. Ironically, it came from one of the network’s liberal stars.
See what The Five’s Bob Beckel did that got him fired on the next page:
I am so happy he is gone, he is so obnoxious.
This time I’m celebrating beckel is fired…….
He should of never been on there to begin with.
Far from being a star…..
It’s passed time for his arrogance, extreme bias and racist comments addressed. He is a disgrace to honest journalists. He needed to stay home and keep his sick opinions to himself. Just glad someone finally stopped his anger and rage on live tv! We are sick oh him.
Are they counting Bob twice? Besides, it’s gotta be f**e news, Bob’s a democrat?
At one time he was informative and humorist. But his hate for our President has unhinged him. I for one am glad he is gone. Now look at Shep
I would’nt call this a lose.
I don’t believe in canning someone immediately based on an accusation by one person of certain words being said.
What could he have said one time that was so outrageous that he was fired for it?
Having said that, Beckel is an unlikeable, angry mega-creep. He was terrible on that show ALWAYS.
Glad to see him gone. But don’t like the circumstances in which he went.
He’s obnoxious
