Right-wing TV personality Elisabeth Hasselbeck is due to guest host CBS Mornings next week as Bari Weiss’s CBS News attempts to boost its ratings. Hasselbeck, 49, was the conservative voice on The View from 2003 to 2013, appearing alongside Barbara Walters, Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg, and Rosie O’Donnell, among others. She was fired from the show after being informed by an ABC executive that they were moving in a “less political direction,” she said in her 2019 book.

Next week, she will step in to present CBS Mornings for three days beginning Monday through Wednesday alongside Gayle King and Nate Burleson, the program announced on social media. CBS Mornings said the former Survivor contestant would be “talking parenting, pop culture, and more” on the show. The former Fox & Friends host will “not appear during political or hard news segments,” according to Variety. The move is one of a series of “try-outs” of personalities and other guests are expected to appear on the show over the course of the summer, the outlet reports.

Hasselbeck is known for airing her conservative views on TV and sparring with fellow co-hosts. She has since reappeared on The View as a guest host and in March clashed with Megyn Kelly after she suggested that American service members died for Israel in the early days of the Iran war. “How dare you?” Hasselbeck said to Kelly. “I may vote Republican, and I’m a conservative, but I’m a thinking woman, and I have a heart, with this war—or military attack.”

CBS Mornings is struggling with ratings compared to its rivals. For the week of June 1, the show had 1.693 million total viewers, down 4 percent from the week prior. By contrast, NBC News’ Today had an average of 2.928 million total viewers, while ABC News’ Good Morning America had 2.702 million, according to Neilsen data.

1. LOL

And Weiss thinks this is going to help with ratings? Not only is she corrupt, she seems to be dumb as all hell.

2. Fuck CBS

I will be not viewing CBS or Paramount content. I will also contact my local CBS affiliate station to share my new viewing habits that exclude their local sponsors.

And then I will inform local businesses why I don’t spend money at outlets that program fascism and Republican news propaganda.

After that I will feel better.

Still, fuck CBS and Paramount.

3. That's the best way to express one's disgust with CBS: let local affiliates know you'll boycott their advertisers.

7. I let them know I just won't watch anything on CBS

or Paramount. If this shit goes through with Time/Warner, I'll be stuck just watching youtube and my old DVD's. Fuck the Ellisons.

10. Yes! And let the advertisers know directly.

4. Who's next? Greta Van Susteren? CBS would be a step-up from whatever she's doing over at Newsmax.

9. I'm betting on Megyn Kelly

since she seems to move around from place to place in media-land (and despite being anti-Iran war, supports every other draconian RW policy and could feign being an independent).

5. Why aren't they showing the removal of the scum from the Kennedy Center?

6. The bar is so low

Just be a white, christo-fascist tRUMP humper. I wonder what Gayle King is thinking?

[twodogsbarking]

13. Gayle released a statement "I gotta get out of this place , if it's the last thing I ever doooo."

[Ritabert]

8. I'm done with CBS including news and ALL programming.

11. this won't end well for CBS Mornings.

12. End game?

What is the end game of Bari Weiss?

Does she think FOX viewers will change their viewing habits and go to CBS?

Highly unlikely.

There are reports that the head of CBS Entertainment has privately complained on how CBS News is damaging the CBS brand.

When they cancelled Colbert, they lost a platform to plug new shows.
