Bill Shine was Co-President of Fox News for twenty years where he spent his time covering up sexual harassment and misconduct before President Trump hired him as deputy chief of staff for communications where he would be doing the same thing. He resigned after just a few months, having little effect on all the scandals whirling around Trump.
When it came out that FOX spent millions to settle sexual harassment suits, shareholders revolted. After all, that was their money. Ailes’ estate had to pay $90 million to benefit the shareholders. Shine was fired for orchestrating all these payoffs.
