Why does your headline about Facebook only call attention to white supremicists groups... certainly there are black groups and others groups that exist as well. As Gail said... no better time than now to start doing something about it... how about you start by calling out all hate groups and not slant the headlines.

I like good news.
March 27, 2019

Liked the Jeff Glor interview with Principal Cook. The news is so grim. We need to recognize that there are good things going on in our country. Thank you CBS. More news like this please.

Disgusted

I cannot believe Major Garrett had to talk politics during his coverage of the late President Bush 41's funeral. How low can you stoop.

I watch this station because I really like the local news show that scheduled before it. I believe it is so bias and lately I can't watch an entire show without changing it. Report the news, I don't care about your opinion. I am a woman and I am embarrassed by Selena Williams' fit. If she was a man I guarantee Gail would not laugh it off. I don't care about race or sex. Grow up and apologize for your actions.
Also all these sex allegations are terrible. I myself was in situations when I was younger. I feel for all the victims of sexual misconduct ( as I am one) but there are 2 sides to every story and what happened to Innocent until Proved Guilty! Glad I'm not a man at this time!
What about other religions other than Catholic? There are just as many in other churches.
Anyway just report. Keep views, comments etc to yourself.
My break point was Gail who jumped to JFK defense when the photo of him and Marilyn Monroe was up for auction. If he was president today he would be shamed.
Anyway get new anchors!
Bring back Charley!

This is the same network that told us Hillary had a 94% chance of winning. I k we it was a lie just like then and I w as s right. This network is so biased that there is no news, only promoting the liberal agenda. It is no different than the late show with Steven Colbert. It starts out smearing and slandering g our president and ends the same way. These treasonous sons of $#*!es should get what they earn ever morning and every evening. Sorry your corrupt $#*! lost and wasn't allowed to finish selling out the country. Ha haaaah.

Fake news
August 25, 2018

I have to pick out the truth and separate it from the opinions of the anchors. It's sad but you have this problem with just about every news company. Why do they get paid when they can't even report just facts? Still alot more credible than other news channels. Just with they had somewhere I could email to help them with my ideas so they don't look like idiots.

Please stop the bias
August 10, 2018

I enjoy watching CBS morning news, 80% of it seems to be balance and factual, however I am fed up with the innuendos and bias that is almost every day directed at our president. Please stick to reporting actual news, and stop taking sides in the political arena.

I have been watching the show for an extended period and have noticed that there is a lack of diversity when it comes to invited guests. Surely Battiste is the token Black as well as band members. Rarely do viewers see a lineup of positive Black role models. We can and should do better?

I am extremely appalled at the lack of respect for our sitting president. Whether you're Republican or Democrat, every reporter talks about "Trump" but when talking about the other presidents they are referred as "President Obama" or "President Clinton". I do believe that CBS is very biased and I CANNOT rely on CBS to be fair and just when reporting the news. NEVER again will I watch any CBS show.

I will not watch the CBS morning news any more. John $#*!erson does not add anything to the show. He has no personality and always looks angry. He obviously hates our President, Donald Trump, and uses every opportunity to discredit him. He's just horrible to watch. I hate watching the continuous bashing of the Republican party. He's just so hell bent on discrediting everything about the Trump administration. Hes an angry man who just can't accept that Donald Trump won. GET OVER IT! Julie

Because he gossips about our President. Nobody should be able to bash our President. I mean who cares about trumps personal life sounds like he is jealous. I don't even want to watch good morning America any more. He should be working for the Enquiry not ABC NEWS!

This is a hard one in that I always have read CBSNEWS for years. They use to be left leaning for sure but I could count on 60% of the articles being solid to read. Now since the 2016 Election season it just went to the dogs. I hate that everything is a knock to the President and that they skewer every single subject to insult or shame anyone who agrees with the President. It's disheartening that grown adults act as children and have dropped to such a low level of discourse in todays society. As well every subject has become so tightly wound around political correctness that saying certain truths is sometimes a no no. They also seem not report all the facts or whole story nowadays. I find many articles are only half the facts or view points and they leave it that way because telling the whole story would hurt a policy they want to have or contradicts what they have reported on earlier. I read sites from the far left to the far right to get the whole truth, CBS is on the left and wavers far left sometimes. A good 10 years ago they were closer to the centre but now anyone who is honest, really honest knows that is no longer true. The majority of the articles never takes into consideration on how the average person feels but tries to manipulate the reader to the views of very liberal ideals. The wording of articles makes liberal ideas and view points as matter of fact rather than it being their opinion and nothing more than that. If you chose to read CBS NEWS it would be advantageous to read other sites to get the full and balanced view of everything of what is going on. In my opinion I see CBS is farther left than they want you to believe. No news site nowadays is free of biased opinions but thoes who say they are fair and balanced should try and live up to that. If you have conservative ideals then CBS NEWS is not the place to look. If you want the middle ground then it would be good to read Breitbart and then CBS and then the whole story will be in the middle somewhere between them.

From my standpoint, CBS is maintaining the same cautious, highly professional news standards that Fred Stanton and Edward R. Murrow first brought to the network in the 1940s and 50s. I wish CBS would apply that standard to the wild world of 24-hour cable news, however. With CNN and msNBC positioned to the left to balance FOXNews at the far right, CBS could fill a big gap in the middle by acting as a true national broadcast news service from expanded international and regional U.S. news bureaus to moderate the constant chatter of Washington political news. Fake news? That's not the way it is.
