CBS Evening News is experiencing a catastrophic collapse in viewership under Bari Weiss's leadership and veteran television executives are sounding the alarm that the controversial Free Press founder's editorial direction — marked by flagrant Trump support delivered by handpicked anchor Tony Dokoupil — is driving longtime viewers away in unprecedented numbers.

According to media watchdog Status, the damage is undeniable and accelerating.

The numbers are disastrous, writes Oliver Darcy, founder of Status. Nielsen data obtained by the media watchdog demonstrates that during the week beginning April 20, CBS Evening News hit its lowest viewership since Dokoupil took over the broadcast. The program averaged just 3.7 million viewers — "slipping below the once-unthinkable" 4 million threshold. In the advertiser-coveted 25-54 demographic, the show averaged only 467,000 viewers.

The report states that the broadcast has now logged three consecutive weeks under 4 million viewers, a prolonged slump that was once unimaginable, which is doubly bad news with summer approaching where viewership traditionally drops.

According to Status, the problem is not just limited to the evening programming.

Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones suggested that Israel may have played a part in the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner to influence American foreign policy.

President Donald Trump called on ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel to be fired after he joked about the commander-in-chief's death days before a gunman allegedly attempted to assassinate administration officials at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

"Wow, Jimmy Kimmel, who is in no way funny as attested to by his terrible Television Ratings, made a statement on his Show that is really shocking," Trump wrote Monday on Truth Social. "He showed a fake video of the First Lady, Melania, and our son, Barron, like they were actually sitting in his studio, listening to him speak, which they weren't, and never would be. He then stated, 'Our First Lady, Melania, is here. Look at Melania, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.'"
