Fox News Channel said Monday that co-president Bill Shine is out, the latest high-level departure at a network beset with charges of harassment and discrimination that have already claimed founding CEO Roger Ailes, leading personality Bill O'Reilly and a top financial executive.
Shine was not accused of any direct wrongdoing. But the longtime Ailes lieutenant was considered vulnerable because of claims that he looked the other way as charges of toxic workplace behavior piled up, with some believing that the network would never truly be able to move on without him and other Ailes loyalists.
His leadership experience learned at Ailes' feet was considered invaluable for the top-rated cable network, and Shine had been named co-president with Jack Abernethy upon Ailes' departure. Abernethy, who has spent much of his time at Fox working with Fox-owned broadcast stations and not the news channel, remains. Fox also said that it was promoting two other executives, Suzanne Scott and Jay Wallace, into more prominent newsroom roles.
In a memo to Fox News staffers, Rupert Murdoch, executive chairman of parent company 21st Century Fox, said "sadly, Bill Shine resigned today. I know Bill was respected and liked by everybody at Fox News. We will all miss him."
"Fox News continues to break both viewing and revenue records, for which I thank you all," Murdoch wrote. "I am sure we can do even better."

Let it burn and build a new empire on a new network. Libs are like rust, it never rests and it rots everything it touches.
Fox News is becoming Faux News
sean tweeted that stories that he is negotiating exit are not true and if he has anything to say it will be on his tv show tonight.
That makes sense rooster
Great optics HL27!
We are now watching America One News, AON. They report just the news, not blathering by bobbing heads. We anticipate that they will grow by getting the conservative Fox people on them (at least we hope). If not they still do just the news.
I really do not understand why this is big news? Fox has been going the way of msnbc for some time now. I quit watching them years ago.
Let it die.
Stick a fork in Fox. Theyre done. All their new line-ups suck. Bolling actually had Mark Cuban, the Circus guy, Trump hater Kat Tims and a liberal lawyer on. Eric Bolling didnt even hold the conservative line against them.
I saw a few minutes of that and in disgust I flipped the channel to TCM and an old movie.
Bye bye Fox.
Way to let your offspring kill the golden goose. Truly stupid.
I haven’t turned on FNC since they booted O’Reiley. Love or hate the guy, he was entertaining and at least good TV.
Might just wind up saving me $100/mo in Cable bills, as there’s no reason to continue to subscribe. I ONLY kept cable for FNC. Now that it’s dead..time to cut the cord once and for all.
Loved Me-Again back in the day before she turned looney lib attack dog. (Run with me on this..there was a day she was cute..and had somewhat decent things to say).
Miss Greta (tho, how I wish she hadn’t done the Botox..facial movement, anyone?).
Even Colmes in his crypt-keeper sort of way.
And who can forget “I’m Waters, and THIS. IS. MY. WORLD?”.
Even Miller was a hoot and good TV.
The “new and improved” FNC is going to lose tens of millions of viewers and be dead in the water. Will be interesting to see what ratings are/aren’t.
Now, time for a new center-right network.
I don’t care. I quit watching Fart News a few years ago. I got sick of them and their lying influx of liberals. They became no different than CNN, MSNBC or the rest of the commie liars. I get my news off the internet from sites I can at least tolerate reading. This way I don’t have to listen to their puking voices.
Just for the record, I love Tucker Carlson and Bill O’Reilly’s books.
Way to let your offspring kill the golden goose. Truly stupid.
They’ve got plenty of money to throw away. Promoting the Progressive Agenda and eliminating conservative views is the most important thing to them.
The pundits like Krauthammer, Haynes, Ect. have been wrong for the past 2 years and are now very bitter due solely to their stupidity and bias. The network, for the most part, is just a avenue to raise your blood pressure.
If you don't. Bugger off.
Thx for your support of Freepers who try to get the news out there.
Bugger off.
To understand what is going on there you have to think like a statist liberal. Like those that have taken over and are running Foxnews. Their agenda is like a radical religion and they see Foxnews large viewer-ship as a huge prize for preaching the word of statist liberalism to that large audience.
They are fanatically arrogant enough to think they can take Foxnew's large viewership and mold them in to good disciples of the church of statist liberalism. They see this as gold mine and an opportunity to turn the tide on the freedom and liberty movement that is going on in this country.
This is corporate media's next battle against freedom-loving Americans with taking over this once mostly conservative news organization. The new people running Foxnews thinks this is a golden opportunity for their leftist cause but in reality are complete dumbfounded idiots thinking they can arrogantly control human behavior.
Communists arrogantly think the same thing. That's why communism or any other statism always fails and so too will Foxnews under these libtards. They also don't get is most of Foxnew's audience has already rejected their ways. That's why Foxnews became what it did to begin with. The libtards running Foxnews now, with their idiocy, is just mind-numbing to watch.

What did he cover up.
Come to think of it, how these libtards are running Foxnews in to the ground, they are also destroying shareholder value in order to serve their own libtard agenda.
I hope the shareholders of Foxnews parent company are paying close attention because it’s not going to end well for any of them.
