More like being ripped apart from the inside.

Bill Shine, who has worked at Fox News for 20 years, has resigned as co-president.
An internal memo sent out by Rupert Murdoch, top executive of Fox's parent company, made the announcement on Monday.
"Sadly, Bill Shine resigned today," Murdoch's memo said. "I know Bill was respected and liked by everybody at Fox News. We will all miss him."

missed a comma, should be President, News.
The conservative wheels are coming off and will be going else where. OANN is a dry run. You don’t get to be as big as oreilly and hannity and not have a backup plan. Count on it already with ink drying on paper.
Sean Hannity Warns: ‘End of Fox News Channel’ if Bill Shine is Replaced
Sean Hannity took to Twitter Thursday afternoon to warn of a “total end of the Fox News Channel as we know it” in the wake of a report that suggested Fox News co-president Bill Shine lacks support from the network’s top brass.
In a post on his Twitter account Thursday, Hannnity linked to a report by New York magazine’s Gabriel Sherman that claimed Shine — a 21-year veteran at Fox News — had requested a public statement of support from network CEO James Murdoch and co-chairman Lachlan Murdoch, but failed to receive one. According to Sherman’s report, Shine privately fears for his future at the network as it has endured a series of controversies, including the recent ouster of longtime star anchor Bill O’Reilly.
But the annoying faggot Shepard Smith is still prancing around
Can anyone say ESPN?
Same here.
It will have to do with a son’s wife’s connections and subterfuge most likely.

Honestly I only get my news from FR and twitter..and local news here and there but Fox News, Ive seen what has happened to them, Ive seen it coming for a while they have gone full lefty I saw it in how badly they wanted Hillary Clinton to win..CNN and MSNBC yeah I know they were colluding with her, but it was pretty pathetic on Fox News too how they were cheer leading for her
MURDOCH statement to Fox News employees is the most odiferous piece of excrement I can imagine. You talk about damning with faint praise the wonderful accomplishments of Bill Shine! May the Murdochs soon be sleeping with the fishes.

Fox News Executive Departs Amid Turmoil
Fox News on Monday announced the exit of one of its co-presidents, Bill Shine, removing a holdover from the Roger Ailes era and signaling that the network is prepared to shake up its executive ranks as it tries to move past a season of turmoil that has engulfed it since last summer.
Mr. Shine is a veteran newsman and a longtime lieutenant to Mr. Ailes, the former chairman who was forced out amid a sexual harassment scandal in July. Although Mr. Shine was seen as a source of stability in the news division at a turbulent time, his presence was viewed by some employees as a sign that Fox News’s parent, 21st Century Fox, was not serious about its stated commitment to reform the culture of the network.
Mr. Shine had been cited in several lawsuits as someone who enabled and concealed Mr. Ailes’s behavior and dismissed concerns from women who complained about it. He has denied all wrongdoing.
ESPN I can understand. They’re not picking up on shifting demographics (kids growing up playing formalized soccer instead of football), and way under-estimated the effect of wantonly insulting viewers’ axioms (insulting flag & country is a _bad_ move).
Fox News collapsing right when right-leaning populism is taking over all three federal branches, well, you’d think FN would be _the_ media outlet channeling all that enthusiasm instead of falling apart as if HRC had won and refilled Congress as an encore.
Bill Shine steps down as Fox News Channel co-president, replaced by two people: Jay Wallace, head of news, Suzanne Scott head of programming
Or maybe sleeping on the corner with pencil cups!
When Intel began moving PC and micro managing back 10 years ago, they had a huge number of what I call “Heavy Lifters” who decided to retire rather than fight the nonsense.
Fox News is going to die.
Let them die.
There has been less and less that I care to watch, on FNC and there are NO alternatives.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Shine and Ailes form a new news network. There is definitely room in the marketplace for one.
10 years now; you’ll be happy with “cutting the cord” to the point that regular TV content & ads will nauseate you. If you’re watching ads, YOU’RE the product - drugged into compliance. (I gave up on FN years before, never able to get suitable coverage of breaking events from them.)
“....Shine’s exit is expected to fuel the speculation running inside the network that a bigger house cleaning is coming.....”
With Murdoch Jr. in charge Lord knows what that would be.
