Bill O'Reilly blames Billy Ray Cyrus for daughter Mile's Vanity Fair topless photo scandal.

On Monday's O'Reilly Factor, he said the country singer had been "canny" about keeping his 15-year-old daughter (who earned $18.2 million last year) out of scandal.

"Then they go into Vanity Fair — which is not her audience at all," he said. "He puts her into a situation where she becomes, at 15, a sex symbol.

"Middle America," O'Reilly added, "they don't like this."

Though O'Reilly said he thinks "Miley is a nice girl," she made "a bad decision."

His suggestion? "She should do Oprah and say, 'We made a mistake, here's why and it won't happen again,'" O'Reilly advised.

O'Reilly had previously called for a conference to discuss photos of a lingerie-clad Miley that had recently hit the Internet.

On Monday, Michele Combs, a spokesperson for the Christian Coalition of America, says that Disney should reprimand the Hannah Montana singer.

"If she's gonna go out there and represent wholesome values, she needs to be more accountable for her actions," Combs said.
