CBS Evening News viewership plummets as Tony Dokoupil's ratings sink below 4 million

https://artthreat.net/24219-89191-cbs-evening-news-viewership-plummets-as-tony-dokoupil-s-ratings-sink-below-4-mil/

CBS Evening News viewership has plummeted below 4 million as Tony Dokoupil’s struggling tenure continues. The broadcast pulled in roughly 3.8 million viewers for the week of April 6, marking the second dip below the critical 4 million threshold in three weeks. What’s driving this historic ratings collapse, and can CBS reverse course?

That’s what I seriously think she was hired to do. Eventually the math won’t make sense with such low numbers and that will give Ellison cover to completely gut the news division and focus on entertainment.

They don't really care about ratings or advertising dollars because they are subsidized by other money making ventures. Drive viewers away and only be left with propaganda for those who do tune in. Takes two national news organizations out of the picture.
