CBS News Bombshell Report Blames Bari Weiss for Tony Dokoupil’s Ratings Woe
CBS News is down 7% in total viewers and 18% in the key demo as leaders debate a harder news push.
- CBS Evening News ratings reached 4.1 million recently, though scrutiny intensifies over the conflicting leadership strategies of EIC Bari Weiss and Cibrowski.
- Internal friction stems from opposing editorial visions: Weiss arrived with an aggressive digital strategy for hard news, while Cibrowski pursues a softer approach to appeal to Middle America.
- CBS Mornings viewership has declined from last year, with critics arguing anchor Tony Dokoupil cannot compete with David Muir on ABC's World News Tonight or Tom Llamas on NBC Nightly News.
- Management defends the direction, with a CBS News spokesperson stating, "Bari makes editorial decisions, is standing up new projects." The network cut about 6 percent of its staff last month.
- Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison previously hoped the leaders would "complement each other's skills," yet ongoing staff turnover persists following CBS Radio's shutdown last month.
