“Shut up Gail King”

Elizabeth A.
3/15/24

Gail King should shut her mouth. She is annoying and I feel others on the news have to stand her aggressive ugly mouth. Shut up Gail. U are shaking your foot to a Dr. explaining colonoscopy. Stop with the people of color comments, Black people and learn when u have a professional to give important information to all. Why does she point out that he is shaking his foot. U are a foolish woman that makes all of your co hosts uncomfortable. U are not an expert on anything but yourself and should shut your mouth Gail. Learn and listen.,stop interrupting and talking smack. U are not as great as u seem to believe...we don't care about your constant opinions on everything Gail. Shut up. U r not Oprah Gail u fool. Shaking your butt and telling us your favorite color. Nobody cares Gail. Who cares when u interview and keep giving your opinions. Shut up Gail!🤑

“CBS News is a joke”

Dan F.
10/11/24

I will never watch another minute of any CBS programming after recent CBS News/60 Minutes broadcast. The DEI/Woke attitude and skewing of the news is an absolute travesty. This organization used to be a stalwart for truth. Not anymore. This organization obviously doesn't need the American public. Goodbye.

In this time of Corona-Virus and voting for a president, Mrs. O'Donnell chooses to laugh and joke about items that aren't worthy of laughing that much! One thing after another it's ha, ha, ha. Put Jeff Glor back in the seat, this female is not working out!
I'm not sexist at all, she is not what I would expect from CBS.

I have recorded and watched CBS morning since it was Charlie's show. I did so because it was News and not the stupid non news conversation of Mickey Mouse hosts.
Now with King in charge it is less news with more nonsense

Norah O' Donnell should be ashamed of herself, and also the News channel she works for. Watched tonight, and for many nights an seen the continuous bias reporting about the President & the Republican party. And of course tonight when two big stories about to Democrats Eric Swalwell and his connection to China not a word. Just like Hunter Biden and a investigation launched by the Justice Department. Again not a word. And then Ms. O'Donnell stars in a commercial about honesty in reporting, what a joke. Oh by the way I'm a democrat. Plus I'm stopping watching your fake news channel, till you report the news fairly. Stop with the fake news Seen your rating is 172nd. Do you wonder why?

Too many "artists" are featured from the so called queer community and most are African American. Gayle King and Nora O'Donnell were a good pairing but Gayle has become very annoying lately. I'm returning to The Today Show which features more normal and well rounded topics.

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.

I have watched cbs news my whole life, my uncle worked for cbs in the 60s and 70s but unfortunately I can no longer watch when Norah opens the news she reminds me of the cover of a national enquirer she is not what this country needs right now she needs to relax and just report the news and avoid getting all pumped up in other words just chill out I can no longer watch her it's a shame because she has made cbs into a tabloid

I am a longtime viewer the CBS news and have, until this morning, been a devoted viewer of CBS Mornings. But that changed today. Gale King is incredibly annoying and I can't take it any longer. She finds a way to make every news piece "about her" and incessantly interrupts co-hosts and guests to insert herself into the story. I'm done with CBS Mornings. I'll continue to watch Sunday Mornings and CBS Evening News, just no more Gale King.

On the reporting;Two comments on the Hamas war against Israel —
Margaret Brennan gave the PLO representative a platform for hate. He talked over Margaret and she let him. In contrast the Israeli representative was clear and forthcoming and honest.
Israel is the VICTIM since October 7.

Also the video coverage was so biased: showing all the destruction and death. IN GAZA

How about the continuing suffering in Israel. Film the rocket strikes into Israel, shutdown of daily schools, businesses and civilians activities.
The question of hostages.

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.

Sorry guys - but for the cast change, I would have thought adding an Asian or Hispanic American would be more representative of America vs 2/3rds Afro-American where blacks make up only 18% of us. Also, aside from the couch area, the set appears less "intimate" than the previous.

Journalism is dead at CBS, so be it, but Journalism aside, CBS Mornings is insulting to anyone older or more educated than a 3rd grader. Gayle King is so phony she makes me nauseous and Now, the token white guy is so glib he's even more nauseating. And the New black kid is disgustingly under-experienced, come-on, what is he doing on a Network Show? That's right, Show, not a news program, even so, they're acting like it's a News Show so they should at least be able to pass a basic Journalism college course. It is a ridiculous Show, devoid of intelligence, and I know the Network Execs. Think they have to dumb it down but come-on...

I turn CBS on in the AM to watch my local station. I can't stand when Gayle King and her group comes on. I do NOT want to know how my newscasters lean politically, etc. JUST GIVE ME NEWS. I don't want to hear how much you love or hate the current president. Unless I am looking at an editorial piece, please keep your opinions to yourself.

Have watched CBS This Morning since the day it began, primarily to get away from the Today Show which had become a clone of the insipid Good Morning America. Now, CBS has drifted away from its moorings, and is daily replacing its news reporting with mindless blather. Please go back to just giving us the news. If I wanted to be "entertained," there are a lot of better options.

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

This morning August 25, CBS mentioned everything but the Republican Convention. Last week you talked about the Democratic Convention and The speakers. You added your Many commercials for Biden's campaign also. You guys want to talk about everything from negative comments about drugs for our rescue from this pandemic, tv shows and crazy tv shoes like Schmitz, but not about the Republican convention. You are so biased!

My stomach literally turns watching this network. The amount of bias opinion reminds me why I refuse to pay for cable. They spin every story to fit their narrative, it's obvious and tiring. Covid is a lie America isn't buying it anymore. Fauci, Biden, Harris and every other politician are criminals and the media love them just like they love ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS more than Americans. Hope you all go out of business.

I like CBS in the morning with the new faces, and they need to bring the great things that are happening in our Nation to the table! Loved the interview with the Dad and son in Fort Bragg! "Wake to a great Day"!

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.

I live in Florida, and wanted to watch the Miami Dolphins game that was being played in Baltimore! CBS decided to black out the game in Florida! This is asinine, and blatant disrespect to their customers! I will be canceling EVERY service I have that has to do with CBS, and I hope millions of other people do the same! I hope CBS realizes the mistake that they made!

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

I wouldn't believe in this news station, because Laura O'Donnell gets too work up about a Covid-19 and spread a lot of fear. Some of the cases are false. Covid-19 isn't even real. I want Laura O'Donnell fired really bad and replace her with someone that doesn't spread fear about Covid-19. People needs to quit believe everything she says, because she also tells lies.

The CBS Morning News has become a vehicle for Gayle King and her endless parade of celebrities. I want news, not videos and clips of King and her latest celebrity crush. Out of all of them, Tony Decopil seems to be focused more on news than trite sound bites and clearly looks confused by Gayle and her endless yammering of absolutely nothing. I would not doubt that her pal Oprah got her this job, and after her "award winning interview" with convicted pedophile R. Kelly her so-called fame was cemented. Give me Anthony Mason any day. If I want celebrity news, I'll check into the E app thanks.

Why isn't CBS covering the Swalwell situation on the intelligence committee? Why aren't they covering the serous charges related to Hunter Biden? Selective reporting based on their political biases do not reflect an organization that is truthful and has the integrity to be honest to the American people!

Gayle King is pathetic, her bias when delivering the news is a punch in the face to the memory of Walter Cronkite. Nate Burleson is really not that much better. Due to these two I am forced to watch the Today Show.

I started watching CBS morning news before they jettisoned Charlie Rose and found it interesting and professional, except for Gail King's sloppy, give-me-a-hug journalism. Now that she's front and center (the set looks like the bridge of a Klingon battle cruiser with King in the captain's chair), it seems that they're more interested in drinking giggle-juice than reporting the news.
