Fox News co-president and Ailes ally Bill Shine leaves company
|
Version 0 of 1. Fox News said on Monday that Bill Shine, the network’s co-president and a long-time lieutenant of the ousted chief executive Roger Ailes, has left the company. Shine’s departure follows the exits of Bill O’Reilly and Ailes, both amid charges that they had harassed women. Shine was not accused of harassment, but there were questions about what he knew about the network’s workplace atmosphere. Shine’s co-president, Jack Abernethy, will remain. Fox said that it had also promoted two other executives, Suzanne Scott and Jay Wallace. In a statement, Rupert Murdoch, the executive chairman of 21st Century Fox, said Wallace and Scott had “played a large part in assembling the deepest bench of talented broadcasters and journalists”. |
