The plunge in viewership comes as Weiss has ushered in an era of Trump-friendly politics for the network.
CBS’s “Evening News” program lost over a million viewers in its first week under its new anchor, Tony Dokoupil, compared to the same period last year, marking a sharp loss for the network after the network’s billionaire owners installed far right provocateur Bari Weiss as editor-in-chief in October.
Data from media audience measurement firm Nielsen shows that the show lost nearly a quarter of its viewership in the first five days of Dokoupil taking over the program, from January 5 to January 9, compared to the same period last year.
While the program had an average of 5.4 million viewers each day over that period last year, Variety reports, only about 4.17 million watched the program this year. Other previous anchors’ debuts for the program have gotten roughly 5 million viewers or more, Variety points out.
Yesterday I went to https://farside.link/x.com to look at a K Rittenhouse xheet. There were hundreds of responses, and they were sorted by Likes: I had to scroll down many, many pages before I found even one that at least could be consider pro MAGA, and many more to get into actual MAGA territory.
Of course this is anecdotal, but it makes me think that even on X, MAGA is not the majority.
Apparently the same goes for fascist TV content.
