Fox News co-president Bill Shine is out at the network, the latest casualty in the scandal that has plagued Fox News and its parent company 21st Century Fox since last summer. "This is a significant day for all at Fox News," Rupert Murdoch, the executive chairman of 21st Century Fox, said in a statement announcing Shine's resignation. Shine, who had been with Fox since its inception in 1996, was a right-hand man to former Fox News chief Roger Ailes. Related from last week: Fox News' critics ask: Is Bill Shine the Man Who Knew Too Much? Shine's resignation comes as the Murdochs seek to acquire full ownership of Sky, the powerful British satellite and cable network.
