1. It's becoming the fox in the white house, not the fox in the hen house.

2. Wait? I just said to myself - "Wasn't that one of the guys kicked out?"

And sure enough.

3. The bubble is complete

A new Reich Minister of Propaganda that would make Goebbels proud.

anyone

5. He was the guy covering up the crimes of Ailes.

Sounds like drumpf is looking for a new 'fixer'.

6. Shine shouldn't be in the WH, he should be in prison

How did Shine escape prosecution for being top enforcer/fixer for the Fox Corporate Sexual Abuse Machine? And how does he get even minimal security clearance necessary to perform his job with his history of massive serial crimes against women?

7. Birds of a feather

Harass women together.

President Donald Trump tapped a man with 20 years of experience enabling and covering up rampant sexual harassment, assault, and abuse at Fox News to run the White House office that speaks to the public on his behalf.

Former Fox News Co-President Bill Shine, who resigned from the company in May 2017, accepted the job of deputy chief of staff for communications after months of thinking about it. According to reports, this spring he told confidants he was worried the whole covering-up sexual harassment thing might come back to haunt him.

But the White House was ready to sell a different story, one about his professionalism: “He brings over two decades of television programming, communications, and management experience to the role,” the statement reads.

Trump’s internet surrogate, his son, Donald Trump Jr., fired off a tweet that took it further:
