Sean Hannity, one of Fox News’s most popular anchors, threw his support behind network co-president Bill Shine after a report the executive could be the next head to roll in a sexual-harassment scandal.
Hannity took to his Twitter account to tell his 2.33 million followers that someone “high up and inside” Fox News was pushing for the ouster of Shine, who he described as innocent. He created the hashtag #IStandWithBill, which he changed to #IStandWithShine to avoid any confusion with Bill O’Reilly, his former on-air colleague, who was forced out of the company last week amid sexual-harassment allegations he denied.
