Another Fox News employee is gone after making an insensitive remark to a black coworker

This July 1, 2013 photo shows, from left, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Bob Beckel, Eric Bolling, Dana Perino, Greg Gutfeld and Andrea Tantaros co-hosts of Fox News Channel's "The Five" following a taping of the show in New York. The program's deceptively simple premise is five folks sitting around a table at 5 p.m. EDT, kicking around the day's news and hot topics. This year "The Five" has emerged as Fox's second most popular show, behind only Bill O'Reilly, despite not having the larger pool of potential viewers that prime time usually provides.

It was reported that someone who was familiar with the incident reported both “The Five” co-host and his comment to Fox News’ human resource department.

This is not the first time accusations of racism have affected the network.

Following the departures of former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly and former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes, who passed away earlier this week, the network was said to have scheduled a diversity training for all of its employees and remote staff.
