Bill O’Reilly, the former Fox News prime-time host who was forced out this year after a series of sexual harassment claims, is apparently not welcome at conservative Sinclair Broadcast Group.

During a quarterly earnings call Wednesday, Sinclair CEO and President Chris Ripley shot down rumors that O’Reilly was in discussions to land a gig with Sinclair.

“We get approached all the time by a lot of people, and he did approach us,” Ripley said. “But we do not have any interest in hiring him.”

Representatives for O’Reilly couldn’t be reached immediately for comment.

1. Sinclair is not conservative. It's fascist. Nt

2. I bet he wanted too much money

I doubt very seriously that they turned him down for ideological or behavioral reasons.

They do hire right wing personalities to do opinion pieces but it is for limited video pieces distributed to local channels. It would not support anywhere near the salary he would demand.

3. Plenty of women said no to Bill O'Reilly
