The announcement comes just after Status reported that her revamped CBS Evening News ratings are in fast decline, dropping below 4 million viewers last Friday while competitor ABC News' "World News Tonight with David Muir" averaged 8.2 million total viewers and NBC News "Nightly News With Tom Llamas" averaged 6.7 million total viewers.

In any case, it's not like the Ellisons give a damn. They themselves just want to keep Trump happy.

(2,217 posts)The power of influence, was the goal, the bottom line is the short term cost for the long term goal. The assets alone can offset the losses in the news division. Twitter was a much bigger loser for Leon. Weis and the new guy on the evening news will be the sacrificial lambs. They'll get paid and move on.
That's just my uneducated guess.
