Fox News fires veteran executive John Finley for violating company rules

Fox News has fired executive John Finley after an external review found he violated the company's employment policies. Finley, who oversaw the launch of the Fox Nation streaming service, was dismissed after being placed on leave during an investigation into his actions.
The specific reasons for Finley's dismissal are not provided, but an anonymous source suggests he used his position to benefit someone over whom he had influence.
In 2011, Finley was the subject of a misconduct investigation, but was ultimately cleared after the network's internal investigation found insufficient evidence of wrongdoing. Finley played a significant role in the development of successful Fox News programs including Hannity and The Greg Gutfeld Show.
