They don’t care. Ratings isn’t the point of this nonsense.
A 25% drop from 5.4 million viewers is still 4.17 million people receiving state sanctioned propaganda “news”
It is for Trump. The only thing he cares about is ratings.
Shortsighted. He used to care about that; now it’s just a tool for him. He wants the destruction now. He’s out for revenge. We stole his little kid rapey time from him and he had to kill his friend to cover it up and it’s OUR fault that that happened and he’s gonna make us PAY while we kiss his ass
CharlesDarwinHe might, because he’s a dumbass.
He and other conservative chuds feel that TV shows on linear television have “low ratings” because they went “woke”, when the reality is that there is a sea change in consumer media habits.
They cancelled Colbert. As a result, I have cancelled them.
Isn’t this the goal?
EldritchNot strictly speaking.They wanted to tap into the self captive viewership of the broadcaster to harness for propaganda. They always knew viewership would go down. It just wasn’t their goal. Still, only a million seems awfully low. That’s a million out of how many?
Dokoupil’s first five days, from January 5 to January 9, won an average of nearly 4.17 million, according to data from Nielsen, compared with nearly 5.4 million in the year-earlier period
So they lost ~25% of their viewership, which isn’t unremarkable.
Nice. It’s a start, but anything less than 100% is incomplete. But you still love to see it. 😄
And the 3/4 that are left will be slowly shifted right as they Fox Newsify it.
It’ll plateau sure, but it’s only been a week - we can hope the trend continues. I myself did not know about the merger change until I saw this post (although I’m by no means a regular CBS viewer) so there’s still plenty of people who will depart from the platform.
OrangeSliceSince it’s on a downswing, wouldn’t it technically be a “valley” instead of a “plateau”?
gustofwindWeiss and Ellison should hold hands and live stream jumping off the cbs building
I was subscribed to Paramout Plus for many years, but they’ve lost me as a customer cause of all their BS. I’m going to boycott their products as much as I can.
Make no mistake: it was always corporate news, but now it’s just: See BS.
Not only have I stopped any CBS News media, I consider it to be the equivalent of Fox News or the National Enquirer.

Nothing will change. It’s not about making money it’s about controlling the flow of information.
My pihole blocks CBS news for some reason.
I’ll not be fixing it.
mine did this for home depot, same thing. I think I did end up fixing it, but the thing is, I just don’t go to the site anymore
That’s not enough to make a difference. Though if the new owners think they can steal Fawx News viewers they’re gonna feel real stupid before long.
A_norny_mousseYesterday 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.

Rookie numbers. Needs to be more!
Awesome!
5.4m to 4.17m, or ~23.7%
So far…
It was never about growth it was about control and maintaining an echo chamber and skewing elections.
Which they will succeed in.
