MAGA-Coded CBS Anchor's Ratings Crisis Spirals
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.
