One source tells Sherman that several women at Fox in recent days started circulating a petition that called for Shine to be fired. Foxs on-air talent is apparently stunned by the news, and one Fox host tells Sherman that they have no idea whats going on.
Earlier this year, longtime Fox News contributor Julie Roginsky filed a lawsuit against the network that claimed Shine aided and abetted sexual harassment committed by former Fox News boss Roger Ailes. Shines departure now marks the third major firing of longtime Fox personnel in the wake of the networks multiple sexual harassment scandals, along with Roger Ailes and longtime star host Bill OReilly.

(22,052 posts)Really? They don't know what is going on at their network? Actually, I'm not surprised. That crew of deplorable idiots can't figure out what day it is.
The dismantling of the old guard at Fox won't change the tone or stupidity of that mendacious company.

(47,953 posts)Sean Hannity is looking to leave Fox News, according to sources, following the resignation of Fox News co-president Bill Shine officially on Monday.
Shine was Hannitys his long-time ally whom he personally recommended the network hire two decades ago to produce Hannity & Colmes. In recent days, Hannity warned it would be the total end of Fox News should Shine leave, and he rallied conservative activists to back him up.
Initially, insiders said, Hannitys army of lawyers had hoped to discuss with Fox ways of protecting his 8-year-old primetime show, amid fears that Lachlan and James Murdochfresh off the ousting of Bill OReillywere looking to push the network away from hard-right politics.
However, with Shines departure on Monday, one source told The Daily Beast, theres no reason for Hannity to stay.
