CBS News Trump fangirl Bari Weiss' MAGAt SUPERSTAR ANCHOR Tony Dokoupil "is now averaging just 3.7 million viewers"

[Miles Archer]

CBS Evening News’ MAGA-coded anchor Tony Dokoupil is recording dire ratings as audiences desert the Trump-friendly network.

Nielsen ratings, obtained by Status, show that the week beginning April 20 was the lowest-rated stretch of viewership since Dokoupil was promoted to the evening news slot by CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss in January.

CBS Evening News is now averaging just 3.7 million viewers, with the 4-million mark previously considered a low enough level to set off alarm bells for the network. In the all-important 25–54 demographic prized by advertisers, the show averaged just 467,000 viewers.

Veteran television news executives have raised concerns about how bad things could get for CBS News and its once-prestigious Evening News broadcast, and are placing the blame on Weiss’ leadership. “This isn’t what a turnaround looks like. This is what a train wreck looks like,” one executive told Status.

1. Because FOX news already exists

And Newsmax and ...

Does America need more right wing propaganda?

[samsingh]

2. i'm shocked it's still that high - presumably people watching CBS News in the past

were not the fox crowd. Now that CBS News is Fox lite, i don't know how any of the old viewers can stand to watch it.

and oracles stock has dropped by 2/3s so money is going to start being an issue for the ellisons.

5. What if the money doesn't really matter

and they are just in all this media merger mania just to shut down truthful journalism? Are they willing to let CBS, for example, be a "loss leader" that they tolerate because of the billions in corruption, no longer reported on in the open, they will make elsewhere?

Just thinking out loud....

7. That's what I think.

3. I'd compare Dokoupil to Goebbels

but he's not smart enough.

[Kid Berwyn]

4. Room for deterioration.

Keep on stopping watching and remember to hit that unsubscribe button. Oh, wait! Just turn him off.

6. 3.7 million is a meaningless number unless it is compared

to what it was when it was good. This is what sloppy reporting about sloppy reporting looks like.

[Ritabert]

8. CBS News used to be #1 with at least 5 million viewers every night

[House of Roberts]

10. Yes, thank you.

That was all that was needed to be added to make the article make sense.

9. CBS is dead to me.

I watch only Stephen Colbert and The Late Show now. When that show airs its final episode on May 21, CBS will be permanently off.

11. He should try interviewing his Mom again.

12. I get tired of the whole format

Start Nightly News with a two-minute segment telling the viewers what you are going to tell them in the newscast.

A 12-minute uninterrupted block hitting the top stories.

:60 break for commercials

Back to news for :30

4:00 break for commercials

Back to news for :30

4:00 commercial break

:60 for the “feel-good story”

5:00 commercial break

————————-

All 3 “major networks” follow exactly the same pattern, and they usually cover the exact same stories, except for the “good news” segment, where they waste at least one minute on the heartwarming story of a bride’s two brothers showing up in uniform for their sisters wedding; or a school throws a party for a retiring superintendent; or neighbors chip in to buy a fast-food worker a car; truly heartwarming stories that have no place on the nightly newscast.

Harumph!!
