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.




WTH?????
quote:

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,” 





Please watch.



They expect us to immediately come back?

WTH????

Conservatives have generally abandoned the network evening news. I honestly don’t even know who the anchor is at this point for any network.

No. If Dan Rather was still there it would be good. Tony is fair and has made it a point to cover small town America based stories and what makes those communities special. Tony needs more support.

Right. I don't even understand how the hell she got the job without some type of nepotism going on. I wasn't to impressed with her after seeing her on the Joe Rogan podcast. She doesn't seem qualified to have actually earned the position that she currently holds. And wtf does "Maga coded" even mean? I just want the news. Not someone telling me how to think.

This is like someone having sepsis, you give an antibiotic and someone says “see?! They’re worse!”

Well yeah, dipshit. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t. But they were going to die

Google AI:
quote:

"MAGA-coded" refers to behaviors, phrases, fashion choices, or aesthetics that are not explicitly branded with Donald Trump's name or campaign logos, but are strongly associated with his "Make America Great Again" movement and its underlying cultural values

Exactly. A year of being 25% better doesn't mean people will come flocking back. Honestly, if they want to get better ratings than ABC, NBC, or CNN, they should just go as hard as Newsmax or Fox.

Them and Fox should have announced that they wanted to switch audiences.

They still run TDS 60 Minutes. Still waiting for that apology from Leslie Stahl. I mean she knowingly lied to PDJTs face and the nation and nothing. Thanks O Commie for allowing the propaganda.

I'll quote podcaster Micheal Malice

MM: If you say "I don't support Trump", know what that makes you?

Guest: A democrat?

MM: No, it makes you a Trump supporter. . .because you didn't say Trump was the Evilest, Fascisty, Evil racist, Evil that ever Eviled, and he is a rapist and a pedophile. And he is also evil.

To certain reddit-brained individuals, anything other take is is MAGA
