Former Fox executive Bill Shine to head White House communications department despite liberal outrage

Believing that Fox News has become too friendly with the president, mainstream reporters are calling the White House hire of former Fox News executive Bill Shine to head its communication department an “Unholy Matrimony.”

To the left, President Donald Trump’s fourth deputy chief of staff for communications verifies their fears that the most-watched cable news outlet is nothing more than a “propagandist factory” for the former real estate mogul.

In a brief statement, the White House said they hired Shine because he “brings over two decades of television programming, communications experience to the role.” The cable news executive brings leadership to a communications shop that has been characterized by leaks, high turnover rates, and infighting over the last year and a half.

Anthony Scaramucci, Michael Dubke, Sean Spicer, and Hope Hicks each led the communications department until they were asked to resign for various reasons.

However, none of the previous communications deputies invited as much criticism as Shine brings to the role. After the long-anticipated news of his hire broke, the liberal media erupted.

Losing their cool

Gabriel Sherman of Vanity Fair, whose colleagues refer to him as a “Fox News expert,” reduced Shine’s hiring to “the symbiosis that exists between this White House and Fox News,” before describing the network as a “recruitment organization” for Trump’s White House.

Similarly, Washington Post contributor Erik Wemple explained that Shine was hired despite a lack of experience completing on-the-record interviews because Hannity is the “de facto communications director for the Trump White House” who “blabs for hours every day on the radio and on Fox News.” In the same paragraph, Wemple promotes Hannity to the role of “‘shadow’ White House chief of staff.”

Liberal love affair

The horrified indignity which liberals pretend to be suffering following the Shine hire is ironic, given their love affair with Obama and the Democratic president’s reliance on hiring former members of the media.

Besides Carney, CNN producer Sasha Johnson went on to be the Department of Transportation’s spokeswoman in 2009 before becoming chief of staff for the FAA. Additionally, Linda Douglass quit her job as an ABC and CBS Reporter to take the role of communications director at the Office of Health Reform, and Kelly Zito left the San Francisco Chronicle to work for the EPA’s public affairs office in 2011.

Liberals continue to own the three major network news stations; ABC, NBC and CBS all push a pro-Democratic agenda. Except for Fox News, every cable media outlet broadcasts left-wing editorial content — but Fox News, the single major source for conservative commentary, is, according to the left, a “propaganda machine.”

Maybe these “resistors” should take a look in the mirror.
