CBS News’ new editor-in-chief, conservative pundit Bari Weiss, once aspired to replace Meghan McCain on The View, a new report from Variety reveals. But despite her best efforts, she failed to secure that job.
Weiss, 41, was announced as the new head of CBS News on Monday. But before rising to those esteemed journalistic heights, there was a significant bump in the road for the self-described “radical centrist,” when she auditioned for The View chair reserved for the show’s most right-leaning co-host. The search for the latest in a long line of lone conservatives was on in 2021, when Meghan McCain exited the show after several on and off-air altercations with her co-hosts.
