When nora takes over a show to once again talk about politics it makes me wonder what the network really wants-to control what they tell you or to push their own political agenda. If a network news show wanted to report the news they should do that and not pound what they want to pass as news. Then she lies to the world and no one really sees it. Its just like congress needing term limits starting NOW! Enough of the politics of reporting what congress is doing. Why, nora, do you NOT report on what they are NOT doing-thy are not doing their job(unless you count begging for money a JOB). Be more real cbs and all the other networks. Also quit lying.

CBS leans too far left
December 12, 2019

If you don't President Trump that's fine but at least be far and report news truthfully.
President Trump has accomplished several of his campaign promises. Many people are saying this. The only new I watch on CBS is the local news, when that's over I turn the channel.

Gayle King is Horrible
December 6, 2019

Im done with CBS good morning news. Gayle King is nauseating and her racist tone and racist opinions make me sick. How does she get away with being a racist and using her job as a platform to give her opinions. She and the show is Horrible.

Show is just a bunch of prepackaged video segments with no news segments. It's sure to fail. Hosts are nothing more than readers. Too bad. Show used to be great.

Gayle needs to go.
November 27, 2019

Gayle is one sided when it comes to the political news. As a reporter she should not be showing America how bias she is. Give us the news not Gayles opinion! She needs to go or move her to a position where she cant talk as much.

Just ok
November 7, 2019

Both CBS this morning and the CBS evening news used to be great. Gail and Nora were great. I loved the evening news with Jeff Glor. Please bring Jeff Glor back. I really like Nora but Jeff is the best one for the evening news. He is perfect. Better than any other for the evening news show

CBS This Morning started out as a great new concept. Reporting news in a tasteful manor and throwing in some lighthearted humor.
Then Charlie left! It started going down hill fast.
To be perfectly honest, I have never been a fan of Gail King. She's more of a "fluff" news person. But CBS has tried desperately to to make the Gail King sandwich tasty. Not happening! The new producer has destroyed a previous wonderful program!

Dumb-downed for who?
November 3, 2019

What was a fairly refined and informative presentation of current events has now turned into a chuckle-fest. It's nauseating to watch this show.

This is not a news show
October 24, 2019

I am so disappointed that I literally have to change the channel or turn of the television. The reporters and anchors on this show do not show any respect to our President. The news is one sided and the caters to the left. The fluff work done by Gayle King is prejudice and she's not a good reporter. I would give you a half star if that were an option. Very disappointing - this network and this show is out for cash from contributors with an agenda and it shows.

Evening News with Nora O. Deserves a 0 rating. I don't know what CBS Heads thought when giving her that job. I watch David Muir and Lester Holt.

Biased news casters
October 15, 2019

The Racist one sided morning news people got to go! CBS news is off my list of TV shows. I can't believe that your company accepts The blantent racism shown by the black lady. It's so obvious it makes me sick. And CBS's total disrespect for President Trump should be a sign to viewers that your company is one sided when reporting the news. Example: Today they interviewed Democratic Presidental candidates. All they talked about was TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP.If this is all the Democrats feel is important in our country today screwing President Trump, then I predict the biggest landslide presidential election with the Democrats losing behind the Green Party! Democratic party will be a thing of the past after this election. Your morning news peoples jaws won't hit the floor going (how did he win, We fixed it so Hillary would win?) That was very obvious also from the guy with glasses and the Racist black $#*!. Why would you let these non-news biased people represent your company? Do you know that CBS morning news has a 1.9 out of 5 rating? Guess why! I'm a regular American but I can tell a Communist influenced business a mile away. That's why you let this debochary of news continue. Dave.

We are watching TV when the news flash interrupts the program and the banner across the bottom of the screen says breaking news re homeland security... my thought, oh God, we got bombed again... Nope! Just CBS and their Trump bias at pre-election time, wanting to make sure everyone view the HS rep leaving negatively! Funny, I don't remember CBS interrupting my program when Clinton got caught in a conversation on a plane, bribing a judge, in favor of Killery. Hmmm, Journalism Is supposed to be unbiased, it's an ethical thing, or haven't you heard?

Good bye Norah Odonel.
October 8, 2019

Norah started out on the evening news less severe when she first started. Tonight so much drama and emotion was in her voice we both reached for tv control. A lepoerd never changes its spots. Not a fan. We are not going back. Hello Lester Holt.

Musical groups
October 6, 2019

I must say i love the show. Great stories but at the same time the musical groups that perform have a lot to be desired. Really bad. Not professional quality at all. I get that they are trying to hopefully give them a little air time that they might become great stars but they are really bad. The group that aired on Oct 5th 2019 - OMG - the violinist was terrific. Thought it was actually going to be a good group until the man began to sing - should have let the woman sing because he couldnt hold a tune in a bucket and the group really suffered because of him. This is not the only instance of bad musical group its seems thats worst part of the show every week. Other than that i would give 5 stars

NO More real journalist
September 30, 2019

I have not seen real news since the 1980. I can't say when the clowns and actors took over
But the have. Gone are the days of telling the American people the truth with hard honest facts. Now it's all about lying and pushing your evil lies to fool the weak minded.
