White House communications director Bill Shine received $8.4 million in severance pay from Fox News when he left under the cloud of Roger Ailes’ sexual assault scandal, and still has $7 million in the form of bonuses and options coming his way from the company, according to a Friday Hollywood Reporter piece.
The severance agreement reportedly runs out in May 2019, meaning that Shine will have dual income from both Fox News and the White House.
Shine’s financial disclosure forms, along with an alarming climate change report, seem to be part of the bundle of unflattering news the Trump administration waited to dump until Friday when fewer people read the news.
Stated another way, another blast of fetid fecal matter bursting from the Trump White House.
I learned about the ‘Friday garbage dump’ years ago watching THE WEST WING. Since the 45th POTUS took office I pay close attention to it, and it’s always entertaining if not infuriating.
Well, it’s not that there’s any conflict between Faux and the White House.
Scum as far as the eye can see.
So I’m going with a more optimistic look here, that is some one at the WH waited until Trump was out of the White House before releasing these two unflattering news items, because we all know to watch what happens the night before a major holiday, the day after a major holiday, and especially on a Friday night.
I can’t imagine the yelling and ranting that would ensue if Trump was in the WH. So does anyone else wonder what the WH staff gets up to while Trumps away?
