On Bill Shine's short, troubled tenure overseeing the White House's communication efforts. My column on a disturbance in the Fox News-White House force: bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
"The White House is an outsized meat grinder, beset by chaos, backstabbing and incompetence...Shine only had to consider how many people directly preceded him to get a sense of the adventure; Sean Spicer, Michael Dubke, Anthony Scaramucci (“Mooch” lasted 11 days) and Hope Hicks."
White House PR can't make everyone believe that "the president who causes a government shutdown, bungles health-care, craters fiscal sensibility, dances with Russia, traffics in racism, doesn’t read, doesn’t work hard and doesn’t care is something other" bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
Shine leaves the White House during a week in which 1) @Sulliview took his old home, Fox, to task for being exactly what it is washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/styl… and 2) @JaneMayerNYer ripped the cover off of the ball: newyorker.com/magazine/2019/…
And as @maggieNYT and @peterbakernyt reported, Trump was aloft on AF1 when the deed went down: nytimes.com/2019/03/08/us/…
