MAGA-Coded CBS Anchor's Ratings Crisis Spirals

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Tony Dokoupil’s ratings crisis at CBS Evening News is spiraling as viewer figures hit free-fall mode.

Dokoupil became the de facto face of the new regime when MAGA-friendly Bari Weiss was installed as the boss of CBS News, despite having no broadcast experience. She promoted Dokoupil from CBS Mornings to the prime-time slot.

Ratings, however, have been poor from the get-go, and new data from media analytics firm Nielsen paints a bleak picture. Fresh numbers show that the show averaged just 3.85 million viewers last week, well below the industry-recognized benchmark of four million.

The data obtained by Status also shows that the program is faltering among a key demographic. Among the coveted 25-54 age group, it averaged just 539,000, below the psychological floor of 600,000.

MAGA morons haven't figured out you can't polish a turd and sell it as a chocolate.

1. I'm never watching CBS again including news and primetime

2. Not gonna watch News that has a problem with me being a liberal or Democrat. Fuck 'em, adios.

Same reason I don't watch Fox or other right-wing bullshit. Which means their advertisers can't profit from my viewership.

3. Driving down viewership among CBS' liberal demographic is the goal of corporate owner, Paramount Skydance.

According to Pew Research, Democrats made up 39% of CBS News' viewership, it's been rated as a left-leaning news network for decades. David Ellison, chairman and CEO of Paramount Skydance, and a huge Trump supporter, is obviously trying to remake CBS News into another rightwing propaganda outlet. Ellison doesn't care about losing money on the news division, his other assets will benefit from Republicans in power.
