Racism, sexism and intimidation are so engrained in the Fox News workplace culture that despite the increasing amount of lawsuits filed by employees against the news channel, Bob Beckel, co-hostof”The Five,” still thought it was acceptable to berate a Black IT employee.
A Fox News network spokesperson said in a brief statement on Friday that Beckel was “terminated for making an insensitive remark to an African-American employee.”
The law firm currently representing more than a dozen current and former employees suing the network and its parent company, 21st Century Fox, for racial discrimination represents the African American IT employee.
