He describes the elderly median CBS viewer's nightly ritual of migrating from kitchen to chair to watch fear-based, misleading news, and wonders if Weiss is being brought in to make the network younger and hipper.
- CBS viewers' entire night is the journey from kitchen to chair, planning the migration like refugees fleeing Cuba to Florida.
- The median age of CBS prime-time viewers is 67.8, almost 68 years old, and they don't know what's going on.
- Tim describes CBS's strategy: hire Barry to make the network younger and hipper while keeping the fear-based, misleading content elderly viewers want.
- CBS is an old clunker; nobody under 40 gets news from cable anymore, and most people now get their news directly from someone being bombed in real time.
