CBS COVER-UP CORRUPTION
January 26, 2022

CBS NEWS is anti-American. The CBS NEWS does not cover real news instead they cover-up news and will be held accountable. CBS currently has 1 1/2 stars because we Americans know the corruption that is on-going. The petition to shut down your fake news has begun. Your a disgrace to the world and a disgrace to the American people. You are not journalists you are scamming, lying con-artists. The facts are in and your ratings are dropping? I am so disappointed and you are a disgrace to humanity. You are officially held accountable. NO MORE CBS FAKE NEWS!

Gayle King
January 24, 2022

Gayle King is not happy with herself since she brings the race card into most of the news she reports. Example: Monday 1/24/22 a young black woman was murdered and instead of Gayle King stating a man she had a date with, Gayle King had to say "the WHITE man she had a date with etc." Why does CBS not reign her in?. Pure Racisim

I am continually amazed that CBS continues to support Gayle King on this show, despite historically low ratings. I am offended by the recent attempted appropriation of some of the revered qualities of "Sunday Morning". Somehow CBS thinks that changing superficial components such as the set and naming will make a difference. Gayle King continually demonstrates her bullying "leadership", never missing an opportunity to shout her opinions, interrupting virtually everyone, always having the last word, not allowing her co-anchors to shine, with absolutely NO attempt to function as a serious journalist for CBS News. Yes, it is a morning show, so there is some latitude, but look at the competition, e.g. the "Today" show where hosts' personal opinions are rarely shared and where there is a wide spectrum of topics that are presented. It is obvious that she controls programming with an "iron fist", resulting in a terribly mediocre and unbalanced show. Add to this the fact that too frequently she is unprepared and obviously not knowledgeable about the subjects SHE selects for the program. What you are left with is "The Gayle King Show"-- that being the case, who is interested in being subjected to two hours of one uncharismatic person's opinions?

Perhaps because of Gayle's association with her famous friend, which she trumpets ad nauseum, she continually projects "in your face" self-importance that is not rooted in reality. I am a fan of that friend and to repeat the well-known quote: "Gayle, you are no Oprah Winfrey". Perhaps it is because of this relationship that CBS is intimidated into keeping her on where any other media outlet would have fired her long ago.

CBS News has such a revered and worthy legacy of excellent reporting. Gayle King's continuing presence is damaging this much-admired tradition. CBS: Wake up and give up on trying to revive this show! It cannot be resuscitated with King as its anchor!

Out with king
December 29, 2021

Gayle king always has to give her opinion on the reported news. Viewers don't care how she feels about a reported subject. Just report the facts. Also stop with the racial overtones. Definitely a slanted broadcasting company. Fire them all!

I thought Gayle King was bad but then Nate Burleson proved it could get worse! Most boring and monotone host on the air! Why would CBS ever choose him? What I loved about CTM was the intellectual substance and now it's just a joke. After 15 years of watching, I'm switching. Please make BIG changes so I can come back. Vlad is great. Tony is "okay". Nate Burleson is a joke of a host. A robot would be cheaper and better.

Being prejudiced
December 16, 2021

Gail is constantly talking about Prejudiced and how bad people are when she is the worst of them all. She says all the time that if that had been a white person nothing would have happened if that had been a white person no one would have done anything. To me she upsets me really bad she needs to be removed from your show

Gayle King is too much
December 11, 2021

GAYLE KING IS TOO MUCH:
- Too much messing with wigs.
- Too much money wasted on goofy eyeglasses.
- Too much junk jewellery
- Too much makeup
- Too much talking over everybody.
- Too much of her opinion.
- Too much teenage clothing.
- Too much prejudices.
- Too much weight.
- Too much pay for her not too much talent.

I really hate listening to your news slicing, dicing and picking apart to death each news story till I want to scream. How many ways can you ask the same mundane questions.
Report the news and move on with it. Hearing a 10 minute discussion on each topic is painfully boring. Anne Marie Green, enough with your questions.

CBS TRIES TO HARD
December 5, 2021

The show was a balance before it was changed over they took the Sunday morning music and tried to revamp it…no no no. Then the football guy is over the top. Gail King is fantastic but she is trying to hard to reverse her aging process I'm just saying.

Terrible
December 2, 2021

I TRIED. I watched. I took it all in. I cannot STAND the new morning show. It's the same CRAP with "celebs" as the other channels. I now just watch a rerun of Dennis the Menace with my morning coffee and get MUCH more out of it. They completely lost this YEARS faithful viewer. Ugggggghhhhh! I want actual NEWS and stories. Not this schlock.
Oh well. I now get to work sooner and listen to NPR. Haha

CBS. What happened?
November 16, 2021

Gail King has to stop interrupting people while they speak, please stop giving your opinion, nobody cares. This is a news channel, facts only not fox opinion news.
Also to the new guy, you should remove your hand from your mouth after asking a question, it doesn't look smart. Especially during a pandemic.
I record news from 6 to 7 and Norah O'Donnell from 6:30 to 7pm. Give her more time. I also record Face the Nation. I give 4 stars to them. Also remove Tony Dokoupil ( spelling?) From the Gail King show and make him a co-anchor with Norah. He speaks well as a news anchor

Make A Change Quickly
October 25, 2021

I have always been a Channel 2 viewer every morning. Unfortunately lately CBS Mornings is making me change the channel. Tony and Nate are perfect. To keep me from changing to NBC you need to make Jericka Duncan the third leg and dismiss the other one. She is bringing the show down with her on TV I'm the boss attitude. Please consider the change.

CBS Comunist News
October 13, 2021

You people spill out endless lies on your comunist news day and night. You are spreading socialism all over the country for our illegitimate Joe Biden administration. You are spitting on every American that ever fought for our freedoms for the sake of comunism. Take a good long look at your worthless selves cause if you idiots actually cared about this country you would leave that news agency and seek something the tells the truth, such as newsmax. You all make me sick but you don't really care what people think just like our illegal president doesn't either. Everything that comes out of Joe Bidens mouth is a lie and bull $#*!, I know that and you know that, but you still cheer on comunism in this country.

Tuesday morning's feature article about HSA/Harlem School for the Arts was truly inspiring. It should be seen by Boards of Education across the country. The director told Michellle Miller, "You don't teach math because every student is going to be a mathematician; its foundational." Urban school districts should be providing more arts programming to engage and nurture young minds.

Good & bad

Gayle is a regular person, asks good, normal basic questions, but is a bit racist.
That trumpet solo blasting out is very annoying. Hurts my ears.
