You may not agree with everything you hear on this broadcast, but we trust you to listen and we trust you to decide for yourself. Yeah, so he was right, Tony DeCoppel, in the first part that a lot of people don't agree with what they're hearing on the broadcast. But trusting them to listen, they're not listening anymore. I think you had too much trust, actually. [00:00:19] You should trust them to use their free will to know that you're a plant from the Trump administration. You're a regime hack, and they don't need to waste their limited time on it. When there are other programs that still have some sort of respect for journalism, some sort [00:00:34] of professional ethics. They don't need to listen to you and more and more are going away every day. We've been occasionally checking in on the ratings fall as CBS has undergone this MAGA transformation and it continues. Ratings for the week of April 6 show that DeKalb [00:00:50] brought in an average of just 3.81 million total viewers, 477,000 average viewers in the key younger demo. That's down 8 % from just the previous week, down 16 % in the key demo. That is yet another big fall. in a week. There were some people I guess that were hanging on as [00:01:09] a month goes by two months go by. I mean, I gotta watch the news, right? There's a war on but I'm done with this thing. This guy is terrible. They're never gonna provide critical coverage of what's going on the administration. And so people are leaving. March was by the way, the first time the CBS evening news dropped below 4 million viewers since the couple took [00:01:27] over. And that decline has held steady ever since. For context, you might think, well, this is an industry wide thing, right? I mean, people aren't watching TV. Now they are still watching some TV news. So if you look at ABC World News tonight, that averaged 8.42 million [00:01:42] total viewers, 1.07 million in the key demo, that is more than twice as much as CBS Evening News. NBC Nightly News, they had an average of 6.43 total viewers, 6.43 million total viewers and 909,000 in the key demo, almost twice as much as CBS News. And so almost certainly, [00:02:02] they're getting people who used to be CBS Evening viewers that still want the news. They still wanna know what's going on, but they want someone that's gonna tell it like it actually is and not like Barry Weiss has been ordered by Trump to tell it like it is. Sharon, I know obviously [00:02:17] you have much more of a connection to this sort of news than me. You're surprised? Do you think he can turn it around? What do you make of all this? No, I think that it's gonna keep going in the downward spiraling direction. He's a pigeon, a stooge. who should be publicly shunned. [00:02:33] He should not be allowed to return to the world of journalism ever, ever, because he's in propaganda. And that's different than an actor who's playing a bad journalist or something. He's doing whatever he can to undermine the truth. And by the way, Tony DeCoppel, don't lecture me, [00:02:52] but we trust you. No, you don't, because if you trusted us, you would just tell us the truth. You're a stooge, you're greedy, you sold out to the highest bidder. You're not talented, cuz if you were, they would have plucked you a long time ago and said, you're the guy, [00:03:09] you're the people's choice. Instead, you're captured, and that's why they put you there. Disgusting, smarmy, just, he should be mocked. His children should mock him, and perhaps it's going too far. But if I were standing at a urinal in a bathroom next to him, I would mock him, [00:03:24] okay? Anywhere he goes, he should be mocked. That's how dangerous this kind of guy is. Thank goodness the public's rejecting him. Exactly, yeah, I'm trying to create the trend of mocking him. I do it every two weeks or so. I love the idea that someday he's gonna be standing in the urinal and he turns to the side and Sharon's just like, hee Why am I there? Doesn't matter, [00:03:44] he'll be mocked. You should probably get out. I don't know, was Roman Reigns in there? Were you following him? Roman Reigns, that's a party even at a urinal. That's a beautiful, I'll stop. No, no more, we're stuck, the hour's over.
