https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/maga-coded-cbs-anchor-suffers-202802569.htmlCBS Evening News’ new MAGA-coded anchor Tony Dokoupil suffered a ratings plunge on his first four nights on the job, new figures have revealed.He lost as much as a fifth of the most important part of his audience between his first show on Monday Jan. 5 and Thursday Jan. 8.Dokoupil was given the anchor seat once held by Walter Cronkite by new CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, herself a controversial figure who was installed in the job by CBS’ new owner, billionaire nepo-baby David Ellison.On Tuesday the network said he would interview the ultimate MAGA figure, Donald Trump, after using a bogus Trump claim as fact on air on his second week in the job.Dokoupil had a rough first performance in the primetime slot on Monday Jan. 5 as he stumbled over the teleprompter and introduced himself twice in under two minutes. The broadcast saw several seconds of dead air between segment transitions.According to Nielsen’s preliminary measurement obtained by the Daily Beast, Dokoupil drew in more than 4.4 million total viewers for his first show.But ratings for the program steadily declined as the week went on. On Tuesday, 4.3 million total people tuned in, 4.1 million on Wednesday, and 3.9 million on Thursday—an 11.4% loss over the week.More worryingly for CBS bosses, ratings in the key 25-54 demographic, which TV advertisers closely watch, were down 19.44% from Monday to Thursday.Monday saw 607,000 people in the demo tune in, Tuesday saw 570,000 viewers, Wednesday saw 543,000 viewers, and Thursday saw just 489,000, according to Nielsen’s Big Data + Panel measurement.
To kick off his new role as anchor, Dokoupil had been slated to embark on a 10-city U.S. tour via private jet to “meet Americans face to face,” but the cross-country tour was rescheduled due to the Trump administration’s military action in Venezuela.The other signature primetime news programs — ABC World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News — drew in significantly more viewers in the key demographic than CBS Evening News.NBC Nightly News delivered the strongest ratings in the key demographic among the broadcast networks, with 1.1 million viewers on Monday. And while it fell to 1.05 million on Tuesday, 1.07 million on Wednesday, and 905,000 on Thursday the percentage loss was much lower than CBS’.NBC Nightly News Tuesday ratings in the key demographic versus ABC World News Tonight’s ratings were the best since anchor Tom Llamas took over Nightly News from Lester Holt last year—suggesting that it had not lost any viewers to CBS.And ABC World News Tonight actually gained viewers in the key demographic as the week progressed. It started with 1.015 million views Monday, 934,000 viewers Tuesday, and 1.062 million viewers Wednesday, and 1.02 million on Thursday.Across all audiences, ABC World News Tonight had the most viewers on average, with 8.2 million over the week, and NBC Nightly News had an average of 6.9 million viewers last week. CBS Evening News had an average of 4.2 million total viewers across the week.Dokoupil, formerly a co-anchor on CBS Mornings, set out his agenda in a New Year’s Day video published before his first broadcast as anchor, promising to be “more accountable and more transparent” than even Cronkite.
Dokoupil, formerly a co-anchor on CBS Mornings, set out his agenda in a New Year’s Day video published before his first broadcast as anchor, promising to be “more accountable and more transparent” than even Cronkite.He accused the “legacy media” of having “missed the story” for taking “into account the perspective of advocates and not the average American,” or “too much weight in the analysis of academics or elites, and not enough on you.” His claim here closely mirrors many critiques that Weiss’s The Free Press, and Weiss herself, has made over the years.When not burnishing his anti-elitist credentials, he and his wife—MS Now anchor Katy Tur—share a three-story townhouse in one of Brooklyn’s most exclusive enclaves, where he starts the day by making her coffee with oat milk and eggs with za’atar. He was educated at a $53,000-a-year prep school, attended George Washington University and Columbia University, where he did not complete a PhD. Earlier this month he railed against “the academy.”Television industry insiders are already comparing Weiss to Chris Licht, the short-lived CNN boss who began his tenure in February 2022 with orders to move it to the right and by telling his staff people had “lost trust in the news media.” He then made efforts to reach Republican viewers, telling people he was there to “save journalism.” But a disastrous town hall with Trump, in front of an audience packed with Trump supporters, caused a rebellion among the network’s stars.He was fired in June 2023 after he took part in an interview with The Atlantic in which he accused his own reporters of being anti-Trump and on “a mission...to go after this guy.”

>>1478076Good, hopefully we get more blackface skits and establishment cock-sucking.
>>1478083>being outspoken against the government is now pro-establishment What a time to be alive
Ratings do not matter. CBS is another media outlet for the Trump government, and is fully subsidized.
>>1478083>MAGAtards control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and White House and has a bunch of billionaires sucking up to them>We’re not the establishmentKek
>>1478097Remember, if you're against the insane level of corruption trump represents, you're part of the swamp now.

>>1478112Taps post >>1478131Yeah you are. The fact that you do know it is frightening. You're fighting so hard to uphold the establishment that billionaires created it makes me fucking cringe.
>>1478131>>1478137You just listed the rebellion against the far right conservative establishment that controls America.Good job.
>>1478119Swamps are vital ecosystems. What Trump did was dump raw sewerage into it.
>>1478131>Seems anon is laundering DailyBeast articles through Yahoo again.Good post
>>1478140>sewerageesl alert.Everyone point and laugh at this foreign shill.
>>1478148>turdie esl accusing the other turdie esl of being eslYou hate to see it
>>1478148My spellchecker accepts both spellings and sewage looked weird in the moment. Looked it up, turns out that sewerage actually refers to the whole wastewater collection and treatment system, while sewage is said wastewater.
>>1478068>He lost as much as a fifth of the most important part of his audience between his first show on Monday Jan. 5 and Thursday Jan. 8.which is entirely normal? the first show has the highest viewership by far
>>1478068>>1478069>>1478070>leftist plebbitor is literally seething with rageLove to see it. Stay mad! The negative health effects from stress and rage will cut years off your life and make you miserable until death.
>>1478162I have literally never seen a truly happy rightoid.
>>1478097>Establishment Biden gets in>0 opposition, no resistanceYeah...real anti-establishment. Sort of like it's manufactured.
>>1478163Rightoids are trained to be angry and scared. It's how they're kept in line.>>1478164Huh?
>>1478166>Huh?0 opposition to Biden. Greatest president ever!Not a peep from the terrorist cells.
>>1478170>0 opposition to Biden. Greatest president ever!That didn't happen, and it has nothing to do the absolutely retarded take that being outspoken against the government is being pro-establishment. You guys were like this in his first term too. Acting like you were sticking it to The Man by supporting the fucking President of the United States.
>>1478173OK but how long was dRumpf in politics before 2016?Versus Biden?I think we are sticking it to "the man" AKA (You) by getting damn near everything we've wanted out of the government. Versus Bidentards who literally voted for Biden, the embodiment of everything they've been fighting against for the past two decades.And you'll deny this because the truth is way too painful to acknowledge.
>>1478184>I think we are sticking it to "the man" AKA (You) by getting damn near everything we've wanted out of the government.Incredible.
>>1478162>Rightoids losing>This is a good thing for usLOL, the establishment controlled by rightoid is crumbling before our eyes because everyone hates you.
>>1478186Indeed. It is incredible. Thanks for noticing.
>>1478187>LOL, the establishment controlled by rational people is crumbling before our eyes because billionaires hates you.fify. And predicted this response.>And you'll deny this because the truth is way too painful to acknowledge.What did Biden do for you guys?
>>1478190As a liggeral, I will tell you.He brought us back to normalcy.And if NORMAL isn't anti-establishment, I don't know what is.
>>1478190>WhataboutWhy are rightoids like this when they're the establishment and now everyone hates them?
>>1478194>WhataboutSorry if you don't like the whatabout. But it proves you're docile little lapdogs when Democrats are in power. Which also shows you have no real agenda aside from getting Democrats elected for the purpose of...
>>1478199>Russian shill seething he's been called out.The far right establishment that controls the control is going to get a rude wake up call since America has already rejected their fascism once.
>>1478215>I don't think Biden was right wing>He just voted for everything I ever hatedPerhaps you don't know this, but America has two right wing parties.The difference being that the Democrats have a vast propaganda network in place to convince retards they're left wing.And Republicans when not under control of Trump are just as bad.And from what I see the establishment hates Trump, who is of course not far right by any metric, therefore you bootlickers need to fuck off.
>>1478216>He lacks the knowledgetrump is the establishment, you can lie all you want, everyone else knows it's the fact.
>>1478164Yes, because Biden was a lame duck president. He was boring and typical, certainly not good, but nothing like the shit show going on now. MAGA had a four year long tantrum over him and lost their shit with memes abouthow he's old and senile and looks like a pedophile. Meanwhile now we have Trump back who can barely string a sentence together, doesn't even know how to pronounce acetaminophen and as described bybthe man himself, one of Jeffery Epstien's best friends and now refusing to release the pedophile files, it's a whole different situation.
>>1478216Pretty much this. The biggest trouble with America is that they have one corporate party which is split into two Coke and Pepsi brands which do the same things but have a slightly different veneer. Then they snipe at each other complaining that one is a radicalized left-wing party bordering on communism and the other is ultra conservative. In reality, neither of them have either left wing progressive policies or right wing conservative policies, the only policy is corporatization and the funneling of wealth upwards. No one can break the cycle because to do so you would have to be in the upper ranks just for the possibility of shaking things up, but no one gets close if they don't play ball. Hence, Bernie Sanders can get minor wins here or there but was never going to be let into the upper ranks. At the same time, AOC who started off presenting as a feisty socialist flushed half her principles down the toilet in order to cozy up to the establishment.
>>1478233Biden would have been more effective if the American electorate hadn't done the usual "Let's just fucking cripple him in the midterms" thing. They ALWAYS pull that shit and then wonder why there aren't any improvements being made any more.
Doesn't really matter. Plan A was to turn the network's viewers conservative, but failing that killing the network entirely is a perfectly fine Plan B.

>>1478244Biden got crippled in the midterms because he made covid last for two more years and forced everyone to get the cancer shot and it took two years for most of his vaccine mandates to be declared illegal.
>>1478420cope hardernone of that is true
>>1478163For real, makes sense when you consider that the Venn diagram of MAGAtards and “People who think anger is the only manly emotion” is straight up a circle.
>>1478163I honestly believe stunted emotional development during childhood is the greatest predictor of conservatism in adults.
>>1478557no i think its leftists trying to undermine white folks
>>1478557the actual predictor for party affiliation is mental illness>A widely discussed 2020 Pew Research Center survey (from the American Trends Panel) found that among White respondents, 62% of liberals reported having been told by a doctor they had a mental health condition at some point in their lifetime, compared to 26% of conservatives and 20% of moderates. This gap was particularly pronounced among younger White liberal women (with figures often cited as over 50% for those under 30).>Other analyses, including data from the General Social Survey and various studies between 2020–2025, show that extreme liberals report mental illness at rates up to 150% higher than moderates, and liberals overall are roughly twice as likely as conservatives to report diagnoses across age groups and genders.
>>1478559True
>>1478559Now I understand why I feel like I'm talking to the mentally ill when I debate Internet liggerals.It's because I truly am.Interesting,
>>1478557I think it is being a personal victim of crime. The old expression about conservatives being liberals mugged by reality is true.Scott Adams was detailing how he was passed over for promotion because of his race. They couldn't promote any more white people to the executive team. This happened at multiple jobs and was why he became a cartoonist/right wing.
