Bill O'Reilly, the former Fox News anchor, has been negotiating for a position with the Sinclair Broadcast Group, the nation's largest television-station owner, according to two sources familiar with the talks.
Sinclair, known for its conservative commentary, is continuing with the talks despite the sexual harassment cases that cost O'Reilly his job at Fox this year, the sources said. Last week, The New York Times reported that O’Reilly had settled a $32 million sexual harassment claim against him by a former legal analyst, Lis Wiehl. The sources said the news does not appear to have sidelined the talks.
"They took a pause but it didn't really change anything for them," one of the sources said.
If this Sinclair Broadcasting Group actually hires O'Reilly that will pretty much tell us all we need to know about them, and where their priorities lie.
Yes O'Reilly is a big name in conservative circles but it would mean that Sinclair was willing to establish a hostile working environment for their female employees just to get a marquee name on their team.
