Tony Dokoupil is reportedly unsure of his next steps as ratings for his CBS program have declined further over the past week.

----

The declining ratings are said to have sparked conversations about Tony Dokoupil possibly leaving, while reports have also claimed that the editorial direction is to blame for the show's ratings issues.

Earlier reports in January indicated that the program's viewership was already declining, and that downward trend appears to have continued into February.

According to Rob Shuter's #ShuterScoop, ratings for the broadcast have dropped by another 400,000 viewers in just one week.

While this week-to-week decline alone already points to a negative trajectory, the broader picture appears even more concerning, as overall viewership is down by approximately 600,000 when compared with this same time last year.

Due to the situation, Dokoupil, who was reportedly previously tense about the downward trend, has now begun to panic over the worsening situation.

1. who knew kissing Trump ass would be bad for ratings

[Tanuki]

2. I don't think a town hall with JD Vance will help matters! 🤣

"Vice President JD Vance will sit down with "CBS Evening News" anchor Tony Dokoupil to talk about the economy, foreign policy, the state of the Republican Party and the 2028 race for the White House in a March edition of the CBS News town hall series "Things That Matter."

3. E gods... The Lies & Gaslighting will

be Astronomical

[Swede]

9. They should do it on a nice comfortable couch.

[tavernier]

15. Yeah, that's the ticket.

The American viewership is holding their breath for a chance to see JD Vance bullshit his way through another boring hour or two. Aren’t there enough actual funny comedy shows on TV?

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

17. Well I'm sure that this will boost their ratings!

The first law of holes, when you find yourself in one, stop digging!

[Norbert]

4. Time to wheel out Mango Mussolini

where he will slur something in the order of "CBS rating have never been better in history and Bari Weiss has been the bestest broadcasting exec."

5. CBS is dead to me

I used to watch the CBS evening news and record 60 Minutes each week. No more. They have fallen so far, from the great Walter Cronkite to the wretched Tony “Marco Rubio, I salute you!” Dokoupil.

[Ritabert]

8. Same here. I used to watch Scott Pelley, Dan Rather, Mike Wallace

Not anymore.

6. Block CBS News from any of your news aggregator sites if you have them.

Also, anything "CBS News" streaming. Delete, block, ignore. DON'T GIVE THEM EYEBALLS OR EARS--EVER!

If you're in one of these markets, don't watch local news on these stations (if they have it) as it is CBS owned and operated:

New York: WCBS-TV (Channel 2)
Los Angeles: KCBS-TV (Channel 2), KCAL-TV (Independent)
Chicago: WBBM-TV (Channel 2)
Philadelphia: KYW-TV (Channel 3), WPSG (CW)
Dallas/Fort Worth: KTVT (Channel 11), KTXA (Independent)
San Francisco/Bay Area: KPIX (Channel 5), KPYX (Independent)
Boston: WBZ-TV (Channel 4), WSBK-TV (Independent)
Atlanta: WUPA (CW)
Tampa: WTOG (CW affiliate)
Detroit: WWJ-TV (Channel 62)
Miami: WFOR-TV (Channel 4), WBFS-TV (CW)
Denver: KCNC-TV (Channel 4)
Sacramento: KOVR (Channel 13), KMAX-TV (Independent)
Pittsburgh: KDKA-TV (Channel 2)
Baltimore: WJZ-TV (Channel 13)

I fear one of the reasons to propagandize 60 MInutes was to PURPOSELY drive people away and get people to stop watching. One less investigative reports program on the air. The grandaddy of them all.

And while you are it, boycott/cancel anything Paramount/Skydance (parent company of CBS and owned by Trump-loving Ellisons): Paramount Pictures, Nickelodeon, MTV, Comedy Central, Showtime, BET, and streaming platforms Paramount+ and Pluto TV.

18. Their CBS affiliate in central PA

Is run by Sinclair, so double-whammy right there.

7. Try reporting the facts, Tone.

It’s what viewers expect, the “news.”

[newdeal2]

10. Did he not realize this was the plan?

They are trying to destroy what’s left of CBS.

[UTUSN]

11. His patron is sure to lend an ear to his concerns

[SocialDemocrat61]

12. Fire Dokoupil and Weiss

and use the money saved to renew Colbert.

[hvn_nbr_2]

13. Don't worry, Tony. PedoKing will make you chairman of Atomic Energy Agency or...

maybe appoint you poet laureate or something else that you're unqualified for.

[hlthe2b]

14. Too bad; Don't care. Maybe you should have had some principles. I do regret what has happened to 60 minutes

and wish that they might survive until sanity might be restored, but...
