Fox News, which is said to have supported Beckel for years as he dealt with multiple addiction issues, has released a statement on the liberal hosts departure. According to Bill Shine, Executive Director of Programming, in a statement emailed to IJReview:
We tried to work with Bob for months, but we couldnt hold The Five hostage to one mans personal issues. He took tremendous advantage of our generosity, empathy and goodwill and we simply came to the end of the road with him. Juan Williams and Geraldo Rivera will be among those rotating on the show for the near future.
With Beckels departure, the search begins for a full-time replacement.

Bob is worth ten of those two put together any time. I can only believe that he was 'typical Bob' during a personell interview and pissed of the HR jobsworth. His role in The Five was to entertain us - and he did that in outrageous form. I will miss him and watch The Five much less in future.
He must have never served in the military.
One day I heard him on the radio implying that HW’s rescue was staged, as Beckel said, he thought that a submarine wouldn’t have someone on board to take photographs.
The good news,Bechoes is history.
The BAD news, we have to listen to the infinitely worse Whoraldo and Wan Williams.
FOX is becoming increasingly insufferable.
The Extreme Makeover of Fox News: Analyst Marc Lamont Hill
Accuracy In Media - AIM Column ^ | October 2, 2009 | Cliff Kincaid
Who would plaster his Twitter page with police mug shot photos of convicted cop-killer Assata Shakur? Fox News contributor Marc Lamont Hill did. At least until David Horowitz and Accuracy in Media took notice and wrote about it. Now the page features photos of boxing great Muhammad Ali. Hill's MySpace page is also gone.
There are other changes as well. The tributes to Shakur and black racist Khallid Muhammad, known as "America's Black Hitler," have disappeared from his web pages. The articles were saved, however, and can be found here.

PROFILE: KHALID ABDUL MUHAMMAD
Muhammad referred to Jews as people whose ancestors were cannibals who crawled around on all fours in the caves and hills of Europe and slept in [their] urination and [their] defecation... for 2,000 years. He characterized contemporary Jews as slumlords in the black community who were busy sucking our [blacks] blood on a daily and consistent basis. He said that Jews had provoked Adolf Hitler when they went in there, in Germany, the way they do everywhere they go, and they supplanted, they usurped. And he declared that blacks, in retribution against South African whites of the apartheid era, should kill the women,
kill the children,
kill the babies,
kill the blind,
kill the crippled,
kill the faggot,
kill the lesbian,...kill them all.
On subsequent occasions, Muhammad praised Colin Ferguson, a black man who had shot some twenty white and Asian commuters (killing six of them) in a racially motivated 1993 shooting spree aboard a New York commuter train, as a hero who possessed the courage to just kill every goddamn cracker that he saw. He advised blacks that there are no good crackers, and if you find one, kill him before he changes. He told a Donahue television audience in May 1994 that [t]here is a little bit of Hitler in all white people. He characterized black conservatives as boot-licking, butt-licking, bamboozled, half-baked, half-fried, sissified, punkified, pasteurized, homogenized Nigger[s]. On May 21, 1997 he told a San Francisco State University audience that the "white man" is "a no-good bastard. He's not a devil, the white man is the Devil." In September 1997 he said, "If you say you're white, goddammit I'm against you. If you're a Jew, I'm against you. Whatever the hell you want to call yourself, I'm against you."

Marc Lamont Hill isnt Just An Admirer of Cop-Killer Mumia Abu-Jamal, Hes His Publisher
Marc Lamont Hill, Sept 7, 2009:
"I am thrilled to announce that Mumia Abu-Jamal has joined the Barbershop as a weekly contributor!! His column, Live From Death Row, will appear every Wednesday starting next week.
Mumia Abu-Jamal is one of the worlds most celebrated journalists, freedom fighters, and political prisoners. Since his early days in Philadelphia, Mumia was an active member of the Black freedom struggle. From his award-winning journalism to his involvement with the Black Panther Party, Mumia has devoted his life to Black liberation. Wrongfully incarcerated since 1981 for the murder of Officer Daniel Faulkner, Mumia has continued to place a spotlight on various forms of injustice around the globe through his numerous columns, commentaries, and books. Mumia has generated international support for his own case, which has been one of the most glaring and repugnant reflections of the criminal (in)justice system."--Marc Lamont Hill

Punching bag for the other panelists?
I hate to say this but between Juan Williams, Geraldo, or Beckel, Beckel is the least annoying in any media venue. Given the choice of the three if I were forced at gun point to have to hear one of them {I don’t watch Fox News or any network news} I’d pick Beckel.
Juan is an ill-informed loudmouth. I mute him...always!! He is irritating
At least he knew when to shut up, unlike Juan. Please, Fox, dump the abrasive, loudmouth Juan.
That’s true. Bob would say his thing and shut up. Juan and Jerry have delusions of self relevance.
Only redeeming quality of that show is Guillfoil and Tantaros. (Yummm!) I cannot bear Geraldo.
Were you hoping for the Brian Williams treatment?
Beckel was more bearable than either Geraldo or Moron Williams.
Sounds like the drugs got him .
Juan has delusions of intelligence. What an empty suit, and at a million dollars per year! Being fired from NPR was the best thing that ever happened to him.
They’ve ruined The Five. I liked that program. Now, not so much. I even liked Beckel, even tho he was the left’s rep. He was usually jovial and amusing. He meshed well with the group.
Juan Williams and Geraldo are just plain boring. They are so predictable with their constant and instant outrage. There is no humor to be found in them. I don’t like them. I like nothing about them.
I am very disappointed. The entire group dynamic has been changed.
Candidates:
1. Rachel Dolezal
2. Calypso Louie
3. Brian Williams
4. Jon Liebowitz (Stuart)
5. Cynthia McKinney
6. Jeb Bush
7. Dennis Kucinich’s wife (feelin’ hot, hot, hot!)
8. NOTA*
*None Of The Above
I’m not a fan, but I sure hope he can kick the addiction.
A distinctly and unnecessarily low-class sort of statement. Fox makes itself look cheap. Also, the announced replacements are mostly viewed as socialist propaganda shills rather then newsmen. Fox hiring like this destroys its remaining credibility
Yep.
Bob's brother, actor Graham, is a conservative.
Go figure.
Agree completely.
Bob was a guy that the group could tease and they all seemed to actually like each other.
I’m sure they spent many hours together, off camera and developed friendships that were meaningful.
Maybe that’s what sent Bob back to drinking, A bunch of so-called conservatives that were decent honest caring people. Didn’t fit in with what he expected ?
