60 Minutes Ratings Plunge to 25-Year Low Amid Weiss-Stahl Editorial Clash

The fourth episode of 60 Minutes drew 6.06 million viewers on October 10, marking a 12% drop from last year and a 41% decline from the previous week. The low performance coincides with internal turmoil at CBS News, specifically a dispute between editor-in-chief Bari Weiss and correspondent Lesley Stahl over a segment on Israeli settlers. Advertisers noted a sharp drop in the key 25-54 demographic, which fell to 767,000 viewers. While the show gained viewers during the broadcast, the overall figures represent the lowest fourth-episode audience in 25 years, raising questions about the stability of the network's flagship program under new leadership.

Fox News' Quarterly Profit Erased by Dominion Defamation Lawsuit Costs.

Fox Corp. reported a $50-million loss in Q3 due to the $787.5 million Dominion Voting Systems defamation case settlement, which cost the company $850 million in total. The lawsuit alleged that Fox News damaged Dominion's reputation by spreading falsehoods about voter fraud in the 2020 election. The aftermath has disrupted the top-rated cable news network, with ratings plummeting in prime time since the departure of top-rated conservative host Tucker Carlson. Despite the decline, Fox News still held a lead over MSNBC and CNN in viewers last week.
