NEW YORK (AP) - If some people thought traveling to Iraq and Syria was a ratings stunt for Katie Couric, it didn't work out that way. The "CBS Evening News" tied a record low with just under 5.5 million viewers last week, Nielsen Media Research said Tuesday. Last week and Memorial Day week are the two least-watched CBS evening newscasts since at least 1987, and probably far earlier.CBS said it wasn't surprising, and argued that last week's
numbers were artificially deflated because of U.S. Open coverage.
This is when you know you are sooo screwed on TV - your viewer figures are "artifically deflated" by a tennis match.
