Ongoing efforts by CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss to reshape the network are taking a turn to the right with a personnel decision making the news this week.<\/p>\n

Elisabeth Hasselbeck, a former co-host of \u201cThe View,\u201d will guest-host CBS\u2019s morning show next week, with the move reportedly being seen as a potential audition for a larger role with CBS.<\/p>\n

\u201cCBS Mornings\u201d confirmed to the New York Post that Hasselbeck will appear as a special guest host from Monday through Wednesday alongside left-wing co-host Gayle King and former NFL player Nate Burleson \u2014 Hasselbeck is married to Tim Hasselbeck, an ex-NFL quarterback who\u2019s currently an ESPN analyst.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe network said she would participate during the program\u2019s 8 a.m. hour, discussing parenting, pop culture and other lifestyle topics,\u201d the Post reported. \u201cHasselbeck will not participate in hard news or political coverage, according to the network.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCBS Mornings\u201d has been shedding viewers in recent months, according to Variety, which cited Nielsen to say the morning program \u201chad an average audience of about 1.69 million for the five days ended June 5.\u201d<\/p>\n

Weiss has been busy reworking the very biased \u201c60 Minutes\u201d show, having recently fired executive producer Tanya Simon and replacing her with former New York Times columnist and filmmaker Nick Bilton.<\/p>\n

She also jettisoned correspondents Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega, along with long-time smarmy correspondent Scott Pelley.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:<\/p>\n

Bari is trying hard to bring sone small amount of balance.<\/p>\n

The leftist at CBS are reacting like vampires being sprinkled with holy water.<\/p>\n

\"\ud83d\ude02\"\"\ud83d\ude02\"Is that why Gayle King has been off this week; the news was too much for her to handle? The morning show needs a little diversity, since Tony left, it\u2019s an all-black lineup with Gayle, Nate, and Vladimir.<\/p>\n
