Bill Shine, the current co-president of Fox News. He’s now the network’s top dog.Back in August, Rupert Murdoch lauded Shine as having the ability to lead the network for years to come when he announced Shine’s promotion after Roger Ailes was ousted.  But can Shine really  execute this mission with so much troubling baggage? What I mean is that there are undeniably serious lingering questions that the organization and the general public have largely ignored about Shine’s involvement in the sexual harassment scandals that have rocked the network over the last year.Shine is no fresh face to Fox News. He’s been there since 1996, and if you believe some of the dozens woman who have come forward documenting the sexual harassment and discrimination they faced at the network, he’s been well aware of what is going on.  To be clear, he has never been accused of sexual harassment himself. Instead, women who … [Read more...] about Everyone is Missing The Most Troubling Part About Fox News Sexual Harassment Scandal

When Off Main Street was a cub reporter, we learned the ordinary news event that holds little interest to readers is known as "dog bites man." "Man bites dog," on the other hand, is an unusual story that happens so rarely, if ever, it grabs readers by the scruff of the neck. We'll have to come up with a third category to describe a news announcement that is so un-unexpected that it ends up being a surprise. As in, "Why on earth did they do this?" That was our reaction when we saw Monday's official announcement from the campaign of State Sen. Catharine Young, R-Olean. "SENATOR CATHARINE YOUNG SEEKS RE-ELECTION TO THE NEW YORK STATE SENATE," was the bold, all-caps headline on the news release, issued eight days before Election Day. Was that ever in doubt?
