The ratings aren't looking great for Bari Weiss' newfangled 60 Minutes
According to early Nielsen data, the audience for the troubled news program has also fallen among its key 25-to-54 demographic.
Bad news continues to plague CBS’s 60 Minutes, with early Nielsen data showing a ratings drop for the troubled news program. This is from TheWrap, which reports that its Sunday night premiere, despite boasting hot new conservative correspondent Ross Douthat, drew 7.7 million viewers to the network, a 19% drop from last season’s premiere. TheWrap notes that these early numbers are expected to be updated at 4 pm Eastern time on Tuesday, but that the current data shows 1.5 million viewers among its core demographic of adults 25-54, a “33% year-over-year decline.” No doubt the president took time out of his schedule to watch the premiere, as the White House posted its approval of an item 60 Minutes ran on Sunday about the rescue of “Dude 44 Bravo,” the Air Force officer rescued after he was forced to eject in Iranian territory, and isn’t that polite?
