"The New York Times" said : Fox Sports Fires Jamie Horowitz Amid a Claim of Misconduct

21st Century Fox, the media giant controlled by the Murdoch family, owns Fox Sports, Fox News and a number of other entertainment properties. The cleanup continued in May, with the dismissal of one of the network's presidents, Bill Shine, a protégé of Mr. Ailes. Mr. Horowitz was in charge of sports programming, and his radical restructuring of the network caused widespread consternation among its employees. The swift dismissal of Mr. Horowitz — without a public lawsuit or public pressure — represents a significant departure from how 21st Century Fox has handled other cases. That does not include the exit package for Mr. Ailes and the estimated $25 million payout for Mr. O'Reilly.
