With Fox News in Tumult, Another Executive, Bill Shine, Is Ousted -
By MICHAEL M. GRYNBAUM and EMILY STEELMAY 1, 2017
Fox News forced out one of its most senior executives on Monday, the latest aftershock of a sexual harassment scandal
that has engulfed the television network and pressured its owners, the Murdoch family, into a painful and protracted public housecleaning.
The exit of Bill Shine — a co-president at the network
and a close ally of Roger E. Ailes, its former chairman — came nearly 10 months after Mr. Ailes was removed in the wake of numerous harassment allegations.
Two employees invoked a phrase from President Trump in describing the attitude of some workers: “Drain the swamp.”
Five current Fox News employees, male and female, described the newsroom on Monday as being in a state of shock after learning of Mr. Shine’s exit.
On Monday, several employees pointed to the continued power of Mr. Abernethy, Ms. Brandi
and Ms. Scott as evidence that the old guard at Fox News remains in charge.
