The Least Trusted News Media And Hosts Caught In Scandals

Bob Beckel Made A Racist Remark Towards A Black Employee

Bob Beckel was the co-host of “The Five” on Fox News but was fired in 2015. Beckel took a leave of absence from the program to recover from back surgery, and he also reportedly went to rehab for an addiction to painkillers. Fox said in a statement: “We tried to work with Bob for months, but we couldn’t hold ‘The Five’ hostage to one man’s personal issues. He took tremendous advantage of our generosity, empathy, and goodwill and we simply came to the end of the road with him.” He returned in 2017 but was fired for making a racist remark toward a black employee.
