Bill Shine Is Out As Fox News Co-President The network shake-up continues amid growing sexual harassment and racial discrimination claims. By Michael Calderone , Michael McLaughlin Embattled Fox News Co-President Bill Shine resigned Monday following intense scrutiny about his stewardship of the network in the wake of the Bill O’Reilly scandal and amid growing sexual harassment and racial discrimination allegations. A veteran network executive, Shine was promoted to co-president just weeks after Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes’ downfall over widespread sexual harassment claims, and his departure comes two weeks after top-rated host O’Reilly left the network due to a similar scandal. The New York Times revealed last month that 21st Century Fox paid settlements to O’Reilly’s accusers even after the Ailes mess, which undermined the contention from the network’s parent company that it was cleaning up a toxic workplace environment. Meanwhile, the legal threats against Fox News keep coming, with Shine accused in several lawsuits of covering up or downplaying allegations of sexual harassment and racial discrimination.
Agreed. They've created a strong successful business model of feeding misinformation and propaganda to a particular audience, and there's no reason to change it. There's a fucking conveyor belt of self-righteous twerps like Tucker Carlson just waiting to step into the shoes of disgraced blowhards as they strap on their golden parachutes. Fox News isn't going anywhere in the foreseeable future.
