News in with trash.
April 6, 2020

I watch news in the morning, but this one was same discusting one with Norah Odonell making a comment about Trump. Hey, report the news only. We do not want to hear your smug comments. You are not so great.
Respect our President, he is working for you. We can live without you!.

When you use the same video multiple times over and over your viewers wonder if there is nothing NEW for you to present. Is the pandemic really bad or just a scam. No wonder people don't obey restrictions. You are part of that problem. Get new videos or admit there is no NEWS.

The woman reporter at the President's briefing today 4/3/2020 was so disrespectful. No wonder why no one watches CBS. This is my country, my President and I don't appreciate CBS being so disrespectful. I will pass along to ban watching CBS.

Time For Change
March 31, 2020

Why is Gayle King so negative, looking for the negative in every comment that someone makes when she does an interview. Like this morning, she called out her interviewee on a statement this lady made about a group. She always gets her digs in or "her views", part of the reason why news has fallen to the waste side (being polite). Love the co-anchors, when they report on issues, even political, you don't know where they stand and that's how it should be, need to change Gayle out. While she is decent, I don't feel like this is the correct platform for her. When you report the news you need not be bias, keep your feelings to yourself and use this platform that you have been blessed with to report news in the correct way. Pushing your opinion etc. does no one any good.

CBS This Morning, bring Norah back or make some changes.

I've watched CBS Morning News for years and I always enjoyed the reporters providing good reports and a "few" personal comments. Then obviously CBS felt the need for change and the $#%& began to hit the fan. When Gail King appeared I was skeptical. I think she did well at first. Then came the personal opinions, her loud voice fighting over the two other voices and the GRAMMY NOMINATIONS...? Really? Is this a news show or what! This morning I hit the final straw when "Vlad", reporting from his apartment, brought us a video of some male singer washing his hands in a bathroom while singing and looking in the mirror... to show us how to wash our hands! Vlad is enough to take in studio, please don't make us go to his apartment to see his stupid, no-news content bits.

This morning is the first time I actually just turned off the TV when this was shown. I discovered that the silence of my kitchen was actually a good thing! I'm now looking for another morning news program and open to suggestions!

I watch CBS morning and evening newscasts and some of their shows and their closed captioning is so bad that if I could not hear I would have no idea what is going on. This morning it is absolute gibberish.

I would really be interested to know how cbs news and morning show cast can sit with a straight face and spew all of their biased and uneducated opinions on anything. It is really sickening. They have one positive story at the end and the rest of it is a total tearing down of this country.

I don't usually watch mainstream media, but put on CBS today, because I wanted to get a live blow-by-blow coverage of Super Tues. OH MY GOD!... all the so-called "reporters" are doing is CAMPAIGNING for Biden! They're doing that under the guise of "news," by cherry-picking Biden-positive "voter comments" and by trying to generate buzz about how his S. Carolina win and recent endorsements are gonna be just soooo great for him. It's so desperate and transparent! But I worry that too many people won't be able to see through it. Shame on you, CBS. You are the mouthpiece of the greedy and corrupt establishment, NOT A NEWS OUTLET!

Opening
February 27, 2020

I love watching the evening news. I've been watching since Walter Cronkite hosted. I would like to see the opening statement say "In the news tonight" instead of "Breaking news". How is it that every single night is breaking news? Hope you change it. Thank you.

Lack of respect

CMT has no respect for the office of the president. The team constantly refers to him as Mr. Trump when he is president Trump. The people elected him to the office and you must respect that.

Turned on the news this Sunday morning approx. 9:30 am to catch up. I watched for ten minutes and changed the channel. Those two news hosts, especially him, are just too hard to watch regardless of the subject matter. Come on Ch. 2 what are you thinking? Tell him to stop making weird faces. Better yet, lose him. Really bad bad bad

I grew up watching CBS news so it is a part of my family. I love the channel but have had to leave it all in the past. Its like giving up Coke and Dr. Pepper. You guys have become so very slanted and opinionated. You used to be a real news organization but now to get the news I have to search somewhere else. TOO bad you missed the perfect business opportunity to stay unbiased and just report the facts. Had you done so you would have been successful. Now, you are in the same category as CNN and MSNBC. GOOD bye NORAH- and ALL the Morning crew. Enjoy your liberal elitism.

CBS AND THE OTHER MAJORS ARE PATENTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HATE AND INFIGHTING IN OUR COUNTRY! YOU DON'T DO YOUR JOBS, OF REPORTING THE NEWS WITH NO AGENDA OR OPINION. YOU HAVE INFLUENCED PEOPLE IN A TERRIBLE WAY AND SHOULD BE FINED AND PROSECUTED FOR YOUR LIES AND COVERUPS FOR THE LEFT. YOU HAVE BADGERED AND HARRASSED PRESIDENT TRUMP FROM DAY 1! YOU NEVER TREATED OBAMA LIKE THIS! YOU NEVER EVEN QUESTIONED OBAMA'S CONDUCT. HE DID MAJOR DAMAGE TO THIS COUNTRY AND YOU ACT LIKE HE'S A GOD! CBS OBVIOUSLY HATES THE US!

Love the changes, but...
January 21, 2020

Why does Gayle King feel the need to offer her personal opinion or make comments when the stories aren't even hers and it is clear that either Anthony or Tony is trying to move on to the next story? She detracts and interrupts them and for what? Just report the news. I don't want to know what you think. There is a lot of unfair feedback here that either Anthony or Tony talks over Gayle... are we watching the same program? Gayle has some great points, and I've watched CBS this morning because they tend to be more balanced but her side commentaries and constant taking the lead are off-putting to the point that I am starting to watch other channels. Otherwise I think there is great chemistry between the 3.

Mega Biased
December 26, 2019

CBS used to be my fav. Can't stand it now. I wish the media was objective and reported objectively. This morning, for example, showing clips on Sondlan in impeachment hearings saying in his opening statement there was quid pro quo but not the part where under direct examination he "presumed" it and the Pres told him he wanted nothing, no quid pro quo, only for Zelenaky to do the right thing. Your "reporting" is not reporting. It's biased opinion.
