Why CBS Evening News May Never Recover from Bari Weiss' Meddling
Seven months after a partisan newsletter editor with zero broadcast experience was handed the top job at CBS News, you might not be surprised to learn that the legendary news network is flailing. Bari Weiss scheme to transform the non-political news giant into a 21st century MAGA-coded digital media outlet is, instead, an old-fashioned train wreck.
The networks credibility is suffering with the right wing content shift and 24/7 chaos, top talent is leaving or being pushed out the door as political litmus tests are becoming the norm and the audience is fleeing. The CBS Morning News saw its lowest-rated April on record and the networks marquee evening newscast has hit new lows not seen in this century.
The latest headlines are brutal:
CBS Ratings Calamity
CBS Evening News Keeps Hemorrhaging Viewers to Record Lows
CBS Evening News Ratings Disaster: Tony Dokoupil Hits Rock Bottom
MAGA-Coded CBS Anchor Hit With Trainwreck Ratings Downfall
More bad news for Bari Weiss CBS as viewership nosedived in latest Nielsen ratings
The ratings collapse at the CBS Evening News began almost immediately after Weiss relaunched the program in January with her handpicked anchor, Tony Dokoupil. After a series of on-air stumbles, meek interviews with Donald Trump and administration officials, and an awkward salute to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the newscast experienced its worst January this century.

And who in the world will watch 60 Trump Minutes? Someone here mentioned that the take over at CBS was a catch and kill, in that respect it was a highly successful plan.
