LA Times owner talked with Rob Schneider about setting up a ‘MAGA version of The View’: report 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.
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.
In November, Soon-Shiong announced his intent to overhaul the newspaper’s editorial board to make it more balanced.
Several staff members resigned in protest and thousands of subscribers canceled their subscriptions.
