Anti-woke CBS boss developing right-leaning rival to 'The View'

.... Weiss, who has a reputation for being anti-woke, is reportedly developing a new daytime panel show — not a reboot of The Talk — that’s quietly being billed as The Right View. ....

“Bari never forgot how The View passed on her in 2021 to fill the conservative co-host seat. Now she’s in a position to create something smarter, sharper and more balanced. It’s her vision of what daytime TV should be — real debate without the screaming.”

Weiss guest-hosted episodes of The View in 2020 and 2021 but “didn’t test well with audiences,” according to Variety, which reported the audience didn’t understand her centrist-right contrarian politics.

She also had low scores with focus groups. ....
