The big five news organizations have passed on offering former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer a job as an exclusive paid contributor, network sources confirmed to NBC News on Tuesday.

Since Spicer exited the White House, his representatives have been holding individual conversations about the possibility of President Donald Trump's former flack joining one of the major TV networks, which include CBS News, CNN, Fox News, ABC News and NBC News.

But "they won't touch him," said a media industry executive familiar with those conversations.

“The news organizations might use him on roundtables, but [a paid exclusive contributor job] is not happening,” the executive added.

A number of network insiders who spoke on the condition of anonymity to protect their business relationships said none of the networks were interested in hiring Spicer because of a "lack of credibility."

Representatives of the five news networks all declined to comment. Spicer and Robert Barnett, his representative, also declined to comment.

I look forward to seeing him at the Oscars then.

 

[Mammoth Jones]

 

[Skinny Pete]

Good fuck him.

 

[BronsonLee]

Hope you enjoyed the Emmy's!

 

[shadow_shogun]

Even Fox News? Wow.

 

[Lightning_Roller]

Lying piece of trash deserves nothing but scorn for all that he has done. Fuck him.

 

[PsychoSoldier]

Corporate Media has higher standards than Harvard. Weird.

 

[PandaPandaPanda]

I hope all the lies including the very first one about the inauguration crowd on day 1 was worth it. Not that he gives a fuck.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Happy of course, but def surprised at Fox passing

 

[perfectchaos007]

Has he tried The Blaze, or Alex Jones?

 

[WillyFive]

Even Fox News? Wow.

Appearing on 'liberal' media in a humorous role would blacklist you on Fox News.

 

[johnsmith]

MSNBC will probably give him his own show

But the Emmy's made him likable.

 

[Zach]

Even Fox News? Wow.

RT always seems to be on the trail for some new insidious mouthpieces... check it out Sean!

 

[HStallion]

He'll be Colbert's replacement.

 

[Sectorseven]

Will he get a book deal though?

 

[Lil'DigiOp]

Literally 15 mins of fame

 

[Ricerocket]

Gave up his life for Trump and got nothing out of it but a lack of credibility reputation. Can't feel sorry since he knew what he was signing up for.

 

[Deleted member 20415]

Will he get a book deal though?

"Beyond the Hedges: My triumph, my tragedy" - I'd burn it.

 

[Surfinn]

What changed between now and like a few months back? I thought Fox News made him offers after he quit?

 

[Protein]

Hope the fucker rots away poor and alone.

 

[Slayven]

I wonder was it worth it to sell your soul to Donald Trump?

 

[NealMcCauley]

Back to the bushes he goes.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Colbert can give him a job

 

[HStallion]

Back to the bushes he goes.

They're getting divorced so thats a no go

 

[lush]

Meh, for now...

The guy is lining up his book deal in between paid speaking gigs. The big networks certainly didn't hesitate meeting the guy as soon as he bailed as well. He was just at the Emmy's hamming it up with celebs and was even selected as a visiting fellow at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. The media has no principles, it's like it's a constant struggle not to normalize these pieces of trash.

 

[Schattenjäger]

Dancing with the Stars it is

 

[louiedog]

He could probably make a few thousand bucks a day at the county fair dunk tank.

 

[Surfinn]

He could probably make a few thousand bucks a day at the county fair dunk tank.

Lol

Well

It's not too far off of Easter bunny

 

[smurfx]

surprised cnn passed on him. seems like they love hiring any trump goon that comes their way.

 

[Surfinn]

Yeah.. if they can hire Jeff Lord I'm surprised they passed honestly

Can you imagine what he would do for their ratings

 

[Jigorath]

Don't worry, I'm sure Colbert will hire him.

 

[EdibleKnife]

Good fuck him.

Nothing else needs to be said. Everyone that isn't destined for jail in this administration deserves to become a societal pariah.

 

[Zolo]

Hope the rest of Trump's admin have just as much luck.

 

[Goro Majima]

Literally 15 mins of fame

Yep

Who wants to pay whatever he's asking for a grand total of...5 months on the job?

 

[Walter White Walker]

Maybe he could get a job as a gardener.

 

[FuturusX]

Stay losing.

You know your brand is beyond repair when CNN won't hire you.

 

[Stinkles]

Happy of course, but def surprised at Fox passing

Fox knows he’s likely to become a witness for the prosecution. They can’t shelter that.

Also he’s unattractive, has no charisma and while blond, isn’t leggy enough.

 

[Esiquio]

Good. I mean, this makes sense...what credibility would this man seriously have?

Crowd sizes, man. Crowd sizes. God that was terrible to witness.

 

[daveo42]

I'm sure he could get a job on the One America News Network. I heard they're always looking for more shit to stack on their pile.

 

[rjinaz]

Credibility issues. He was the mouthpiece for Trump. It's almost as if they are saying our President is a liar.
