Schneider suggested his media company would create a daytime talk show to ‘compete’ with ‘The View’. The owner of the Los Angeles Times reportedly considered launching a conservative version of the daytime talk show The View and met with comedian and anti-vaccine advocate Rob Schneider and the wife of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., actor Cheryl Hines, to discuss it.

Hines, best known for her role on Curb Your Enthusiasm, has recently risen to political prominence for being married to RFK Jr. Though nothing official has been announced yet, the move to collaborate on a more conservative form of content aligns with Soon-Shiong’s recent push for the LA Times to become less liberal.

Last year, Soon-Shiong blocked the editorial board from formally endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris leading to controversy. Several staff members resigned in protest and thousands of subscribers canceled their subscriptions. In November, Soon-Shiong announced his intent to overhaul the newspaper’s editorial board to make it more balanced.
