Couple planned killing of son-in-law, police say

Fifteen hours after it went up, "Couple planned killing of son-in-law, police say" was the most watched video on CBS Mornings, with around 90,000 views. It is a short news report built on what police say about the case, and it drew roughly twice the audience of the next clip down.

That next clip reports on screenshots of text messages connected to an alleged gang rape at Cornell. Behind it came a Pentagon data breach said to have exposed information on millions of people, and a British farmer speaking about an alleged terror plot near a U.S. base. All of the week's busiest clips come from Tuesday's broadcast.

Not everything was hard news. Arthur Brooks, the social scientist known for his writing on happiness, argued that caring for an elderly parent does not have to be a burden. A segment on why OpenAI held back its latest model rounded out the day.

The channel as a whole ran well above its usual daily pace. Among the morning shows, TODAY was also a little busier than normal, while Good Morning America had a softer stretch.
