Opinions
October 21, 2020

It seems you all have forgotten how to report news but instead just give your opinions. I'm so sick of Gayle King and her comments and opinions. She comes across as racist!

I have enjoyed Sunday morning since Charles Kuralt was host. Charles Osgood was a wonderful successor. He continued to bring stories that were thought provoking, interesting and reliably educational on many levels. I never watched an episode without learning something new. Our son even chose to attend Auburn University after watching an episode about their Rural Studio Program. As a family, we looked forward to watching and it was a wonderful start to our Sunday.
Since Jane Pauly has taken the helm, this show has gotten worse every year. 2020 has taken the cake on awful. What happened to the features that were free of political agendas? Now every story has a predictable "twist". Where is Martha Thisner with her insightful art history stories? I don't care about entitled celebrities and their drug rehab and return to their million dollar lives. Please stop the covid trolling with the weekly death toll to the maudlin music. Thank you Steve Hartman. You are the only reason I stay loosely tuned in. Sunday mornings used to be relaxing. Now I find myself mostly muting the TV and feeling irritated. Stop trying to "woke" me. I just want to be entertained. Jane Pauley... you've got to go.

As a Republican who recently voted for Joe Biden, I was disheartened to see the harassment of our President. It actually made me rethink my vote. To see attacks like this based on different views and opinions, which it seems CBS supports, betrays the purpose of political reporting. Biased reporting is what is dividing us, not uniting us. Savannah Guthrie was divisive from the beginning of the town hall, always on the attack. Let's have some respect.

Hunter Biden
October 16, 2020

CBS never broadcast Hunter Biden's connection with China and Ukraine despite he used his father's influence as a vice president to feather his own nest.
Many people know both Biden and CBS are traitors selling this country to China.

One Sided News Reporting
October 12, 2020

I want to get updates on what's going on, but i can't stand listening to Gayle King! I've had to turn it off because it's not news any more, it's Gayle giving her opinions. She is clearly prejudice, and to report her opinions on the news is unacceptable. We just want to know what's going on in all angles, not just the same stories over and over, and Gayle consistently giving her opinions that many of us do not agree with. What happened to just reporting the news?

Biased and Tainted
October 9, 2020

I am a registered independent voter and like to watch a variety of news/opinions but it is glaringly clear each time I watch CBS morning news with Gayle King that she and the entire program is anti Trump, anti Republican, anti conservative, and blatantly support bleeding heart liberals. I never hear anything that is negative about democrats or democratic candidates, only bashing and trashing of the current president. Just to let you know I have banned CBS programming in my home which includes the morning news, evening news (Nora McDonald is just as bad as Gayle King), and all other shows. It seems like NBC and ABC are getting to be just as biased as CBS so as a registered independent it appears the only place to find truly fair and balanced reporting is Fox News. At least they invite guests and opinions from both sides of the aisle and give viewers the opportunity to make up their own mind instead of trying to brainwash. Shame on you CBS.

CBS Disappoints
October 8, 2020

I have faithfully watched both the morning and evening news for decades. What has happened to "reporting" the news? The bias is staggering. It is so obvious that Biden is getting a free ride even when he makes mistakes. President Trump is not perfect, but he was elected 4 years ago and between you and the Democrats he has been super scrutinized, all negatively. I am so turned off with Gayle King's opinions and rants.
Saturday Morning is the only saving grace. Leaving CBS and going elsewhere.

What happened to CBS?
October 8, 2020

What happened to you? I used to watch Faithfully every morning Monday through Friday until the obvious Democratic platform was underlined rather than unbiased news reporting. Due to Oprah's financial support of CBS, Gayle Kings opinions and political stance go unchecked. This is not unbiased journalism. Furthermore during an interview with Lenny Kravitz Gale king interrupted the interview to mention a cell phone text she received from a friend stating how fine Lenny Kravitz is. A cell phone text to Gayle King from a friend while on Air that moment is news? Now if this was a male and it actually made news from a cell phone text to a male news reporter on air he would have been added to the #MeToo movement roster immediately. Biased journalism and gender biased interview interruptions by Gayle King - way too much for me. I'm out.

CBS This Morning
October 7, 2020

I have always watched CBS This morning but today was my last. I have been watching CBS morning show for years! The first 25 minutes was all about Trump and bashing every little thing about him. Biden makes crazy mistakes everyday and never a word about him. CBS has gotten so bias and is bias in every news show. I'm Just so tired of this. Goodbye CBS after all these year! And hello NBC.

Through all the changes you have made... some positive and some negative... my family has faithfully watched CBS Evening News since the days of Walter Cronkite. Now, Nora O'Donnell is NOT reporting news but slanting news to lead the listener to a conclusion by her comments or the inflection in those comments. The past two nights as the President of the United States has been hospitalized her comments have been so biased that I can NO longer watch your evening news program. What was the best news program has become very biased and grates on the nerves of thinking and caring citizens. Very sad and disappointing!

Gayle King needs to stop addressing President Trump as Mr. Trump. He is the President of the United States and commands respect and his proper title. It's time Gayle keeps her opinions and under handed comments out of the news.

Corona virus reporting
September 30, 2020

I watch/watched your national broadcast of the news for years and have noticed that your coverage of pertinent information has progressively gotten worse as the years have gone by. No longer is there unbiased honest reporting, but rather politically motivated snippets taken out of context, and words used to sensationalize facts. One example of this rhetoric is the quote "Corona virus has killed...". Yes, some have died of a virus, but the word killed is a little strong... it's a disease, not a terrorist! I've also found that I can find out more about the world by listening to the BBC. This is sad, and unprofessional! Shame on you! Now tell me why you didn't even report this! https://theeagle.com/news/local/us-surgeon-general-adams-tours-fujifilm-talks-vaccines/article_38ea6d04-01f5-11eb-820c-2b*******cd69.html

I found that this news was encouraging, yet nothing was said about this or any other facilities that are gearing up to manufacture these vaccines. I can't help but feel that the non-reporting is politically motivated. The other event not covered by the major news outlets was the prayer march in Washington DC this past weekend. 100,000 people peacefully gathered, yet this is not news? Really! I don't know who makes these decisions, but I'm demanding better! I refuse to watch and waste my time on your news or lack there of!

Gayle King and Nora O'Donnell are very biased and I feel they are not being fair newscasters as they should be. I always loved CBS for their honesty and unbiased news. But now I will not watch them or any of their local affiliates due to this bias. SO DISAPPOINTED IN THE QUALITY OF NEWS FROM YOU CBS!
