Another head rolls at Fox News. Bill Shine is out. He has been with the networks since the beginning. Apparently the liberal conspiracy has taken another victim.











Edit: /s just in case on the last sentence!

This is unfurling faster than I thought. Not that this will necessarily collapse Fox News as we know it, but I think many assumed O'Reilly was being thrown under the bus (albeit with a fat severance check) precisely to protect management and the overall status quo. Guess they're not completely immune.

Sean Hannity, come on down! You're the next contestant on "Harass 'til you get fired"!

Is Hannity still there? When he goes, the cards will fall. I predict a collapse of this company and a buyout if Hannity is pushed out.

Well, Hannity did tweet that Fox News was done if Shine was out. We can only hope...

Supposedly, he and this guy are the last of the what makes Fox, Fox. It will be interesting to see what the Murdoc kids do further on down the road. What will old white people watch for news now (on cable).

They'll watch CNN or something. CNN is basically the dumbest news source there is when it comes to coverage of anything other than natural disasters and riots. They won't even know what they're missing if CNN forces their female reporters to dress more skimpily and hires some 20yo hotties as commentators.

On that note: I can't help but wonder what would happen with Trump if Fox News went off the air. After he's done railing against the evil media... well, where does he go when his main source of "news" no longer exists? He can't tune into a Breitbart or InfoWars TV channel, thank goodness, but nor do I expect him to do the right thing and watch a range of news channels that are vaguely interested in accuracy (oh, and it'd be great if he relied on actual government data instead of TV alone). I imagine him either watching pure entertainment or just becoming a hermit who relies even more on his cronies.

Don't worry. The new Fox analogue is already in the works. And trying to lure the "talent" away from Fox.

They are in the works creating WET "White Entertainment Television"

Trump voters still have Breitbart and Alex Jones. The torch of truth shall be carried on...

I'd have a hard time believing that Hannity possess the requisite intelligence to successfully sexually harass anybody.

Whoever said you had to be successful? How many construction workers ever scored on a cat call?

I think it would come out so weird that the intended target would simply be confused or wonder if he has some disability.

Just as there are loyal Trump supporters who have no other viable alternatives to choose from, the FOX fans will stick with FOX because they too have no other viable alternative to turn to. It doesn't matter to them how FOX executives and Billo behaved themselves and got punished for it, just as it doesn't matter that FOX sells rumor, innuendo, half truths and baseless accusations like drug dealers selling uncut coke at giveaway prices.

All the FOX viewers want are the talking points and marching orders for the day and they're good to go.
