  • Controversial conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck jumps from The View to new daytime TV hosting gig

    This jump makes no sense unless she really hates The View and thinks CBS
    will be a better fit for her.

    It makes perfect sense. Hasselbeck is a conservative who often clashed
    with the liberal members of the View panel. Bari Weiss seems to be
    leaning conservative in the way she has been firing people from CBS and
    60 Minutes. It makes perfect sense that Hasselbeck might be more
    comfortable working for Weiss.

    It makes perfect sense.-a Hasselbeck is a conservative who often clashed with the liberal members of the View panel.-a Bari Weiss seems to be

    60 Minutes.-a It makes perfect sense that Hasselbeck might be more comfortable working for Weiss.

    She's been on The View for a long time. Seems strange to me that all of
    a sudden she's jumping ship. Yes, Weiss is leaning conservative but the article states that Elizabeth won't be doing political stories. To me it sounds like she'll be doing fluff pieces. At least they didn't hire her
    to be a new correspondent on 60 Minutes.

    She's not really jumping ship since she hasn't been a permanent member
    of the View panel in more than a decade. The article says her most
    recent appearance was earlier this year when she filled in for a
    panelist on maternity leave. Apparently she makes occasional guest appearances when someone else is out, but my impression is she long ago
    lost the desire to deal with the other panelists, especially Joy Behar,
    on a full-time basis. The way I read it is that the CBS gig is also
    temporary but could lead to something more permanent and less
    confrontational than The View down the road.
