ADVERTISEMENTEmbattled Fox News Co-President Bill Shine resigned Monday following intense scrutiny about his stewardship of the network in the wake of the Bill O’Reilly scandal and amid growing sexual harassment and racial discrimination allegations. Meanwhile, the legal threats against Fox News keep coming, with Shine accused in several lawsuits of covering up or downplaying allegations of sexual harassment and racial discrimination. Lucas Jackson/Reuters Bill Shine was promoted last summer to Fox News co-president with Jack Abernethy, after Roger Ailes’ downfall amid sexual harassment allegations. Shine is accused in several lawsuits of covering up or downplaying allegations of harassment at Fox. 21st Century Fox Executive Chairman Rupert Murdoch praised Shine in a statement that unsurprisingly didn’t mention the recent turmoil.
