CBS Mornings
You really should rename CBS Mornings to Gayle King News & Comment. More and more often it seems Ms. King cannot resist delivering yet another “just sayin’ “ following stories. I wonder if anyone cares what Gayle King thinks. I don’t.
Murrow, and probably even Paley, too, are turning in their graves when each morning a CBS news anchor hawks merch. And based on the appearance, a lot of it looks like not even high-quality merch.
I’m not a fan of your morning news reboot. I’m hunting for an alternative, and the News Nation morning news might be the one I switch to.
Desired outcome: Reign in loose cannon Gayle King. Stop lowering the standards for network TV news shows.
“Just sayin’.” “You GO girl!”
Gayle King News & Comment.
Show shaming DeSantis
I am so disgusted I hardly know where to start. The show you presented defaming Gov DeSantis is so despicable that I can only hope there are enough decented minded people left in this country that will decide to avoid your network completely in the future. That was a new low, even for the left controlled media. I think that you forget that your hatred of conservatives also is teaching your children to live their lives by hatred. Hatred is a sickness of the soul. Your children deserve better and so do the citizens of this country.
Bent carrot
I just watched this ad again. I think having it on at 7 pm where children can see it is disgusting. Why don’t you run it at a later time . The Tampax ads were taken off the air and they were mild instead of a carrot representing a penis! This is the second time I have complained. This seen every night at 7 pm …..family time! Please take time to review this ad
Desired outcome: Play the ad at a later time. A time where mostly adults are watching
CBS Sunday Morning
Hello,
CBS Sunday Morning is un-watchable!
For at least the past year, the show breaks up both visually and audibly, whether we watch ir live or whether I DVR it.
Even watching it OnDemand, the same problem occurs.
I have checked my equipment - all up to date - my bill to the provider is paid up.
I just spent one hour on the phone with my cable provider, Spectrum - for the 3rd time, trying to find out"
WHY WE CANNOT SEE OUR FAVORITE FAMILY SHOW - CBS SUNDAY MORNING?!
We live in New York City, we have a good, working TV and up to date cable service through Spectrum and this show we love to gather as a family and watch together. I like to DVR it and watch it in the evening but CBS needs to know that this problem is occurring and it cannot be only my household that is experiencing this issue.
Please provide a response and a solution,
Thanks so much,
Eve Zanni my email: [protected]@gmail.com
Desired outcome: Follow up from CBS to let us know that you have received this complaint and have figured out a solution to correct this issue so that we may see CBS Sunday Morning, as we have enjoyed doing for many years!PLEASE RESPOND, THANK YOU!
I was enjoying your show this morning when you put this biased smear segment by this tabloid writer that wrote another negative Trump book. Your Trump Derangement Syndrome is showing and it shows your bias. When will you learn to STAY OUT OF POLITICS?
President Biden speech
I want to register my complaint that you did not air President Biden’s speech last night, September 1st, 2022. We cut the cord due to biased news reporting and rely on over the air tv. I was shocked to see a repeat of Young Sheldon instead of President Biden. For years, every word from trump was provided by you, and now you still give us more of him than of the real president. This tells me that you are more fascist in ideology than I wanted to believe. You are not telling the story of trumps espionage and being a traitor to democracy. You have made me decide to not tune the not to tv anymore as you manipulate the citizens of this county with ignorance. I am so disappointed in the services you provide and will no longer tune in. Unless you start telling the American people the truth about the state of ur democracy, no more cbs in this household.
Desired outcome: Start telling the truth about fascism and democracy. Use your power for the good of the nation instead of manipulating us to believe we do not need to care.
For once, CBS didn’t report on Biden when they correctly identified this Biden speech, as a outright political commercial! That’s why! You must be an outright extreme leftist viewer. I hope they didn’t hurt your tender feelings!
Major Garrett editorializing and spinning
Most news organizations reporting on the former president having his home searched by the FBI made note of the fact that such a move required a very high level of confidence at the highest levels of the Justice Department in order to secure a warrant.
Major Garrett chose to state that the move had been completely politicized and that the Republicans held the upper hand. Based on what? His tendency to believe the right wing? His sympathy of the former president? His own outrage that the Justice Department took this unprecedented step? No outrage that the JD has to deal with unprecedented abuse of power?
Just like hiring Mick Mulvaney as a commentator: makes one question the objectivity of CBS News.
Desired outcome: Interesting instructions on this website. "The company can't read your mind" and figure out how to redress the issue. The first thing I'd like is for that prompt to be rewritten by someone a little less condescending than the author.
You, your reporting, your network.
I was going to complain about the incessant drumbeat against Trump by congress and how you and the other networks have become such “ tools “ for the left but after reading all of the other complaints from others who hate you for so many reasons, I am now beginning to feel sorry for you. But, only because I now see how pathetic you all have become. Edward R. Murrow you are not. We see right through you. Not to mention the comical democrats in congress.
Desired outcome: A Republican avalanche in November and your bankruptcy.
CBS News with Norah O'Donnell 7/142022
I want to voice a complaint regarding a news segment covered by Norah O'Donnell on 7/14/2022 evening news; The segment was regarding the treatment of the raped 10 year old girl from Ohio being given an abortion by an Indiana doctor.
I am completely outraged that you chose to air a picture of the doctor that provided treatment for the girl, It's bad enough you provide the doctors name but then you show a picture, do you not realize you are putting the doctors life and practice at great risk from the anti-abortion extremist.
Shame on you! It appears you have NO concern for other lives you only care about rating.

Desired outcome: I believe you should apologize to the doctor for putting her life at risk.
cbs 2 news at 11 pm 7/12/22
I feel that Pat Harvey and chopper pilot were having a fantastic time speculating on the motives of the west Covina police. I sincerely hope they enjoyed it. But I wanted to watch the news, not commentary from their own racially pointed position.
If i said every minority person with a weapon was a criminal, it should be considered prejudicial and even racist. So, to hear police officers in the line of duty being termed as 'aggressive', that's a quote, and characterizing them as refusing to hand off the pursuit as 'vindictive', really hits home.
My family and I enjoy CBS and Paramount plus. we can live without them to support EQUALITY and stop Prejudicial character assassination of law enforcement.
Maybe Ms. Harvey should retire. Isn't their enough name calling and rushing to judgment. She was the anchor, why wasn't she in control of the content, or was she?
Desired outcome: Read, Investigate, follow up.
Delaying Of Covid-19 Pandemic Ending
6/30/22 Moore,Oklahoma United States I Wanted The Pandemic To End This Year Instead Of 2023 Since A Lot Of People Across The World Got Their Vaccines Every Week.
Desired outcome: I'm Sorry About The Pandemic Being Extended Until People 50 Years Or Older Get Their Second Booster Shots.
Delaying Of COVID-19 Ending
I Really Wanted The Pandemic To End This Year Instead Of 2023 Since A Lot Of People Got Their Vaccines Recently Every Week.
Magnum pi cancelation.
To whom it concerns. I was extremally disappointed to read, the show we most liked, the one we look forward to the most, OUR SHOW, is being canceled. Such a well written show, great camera work, scenery, excellent acting, great job by all. Just a amazing show. Thanks for the great 4 years, but we’re really going to miss that show. After the way it ended, all of us here were sure looking forward to next year. It will always be remembered as our show, the show that got us through Covid.
This is a first for me. In 66 years I’ve never written to express my disappointment in regards to a cancelation. So please reconsider.
Desired outcome: Please reconsider the cancelation
Hiring of Mick Mulvaney for CBS News
Expressing alarm and Dismay at your hiring of Mick Mulvaney to provide political commentary on CBS news. He promoted and supported Trumps worst lies. He lied to us about the Pandemic. He suggested that Trumps attempts to blackmail Ukraine was something we should just "get over it". All so you can pander to and give voice to those who seek to overthrow our democracy. What the [censored]?!
Desired outcome: reconsider you decision to hire a liar to provide political commentary.I don't believe we need more of thatFox News is not a model for a free society news agency
I agree with every word of Daniel Wertman's post. CBS should not have hired Mulvaney for all the reasons Mr. Wertman has cited. DISGRACEFUL!
Stephen Colbert
On Colbert's opening show, February 24, 2022, he did a satire segment on the Russian Ukraine invasion.
This was tasteless, tactless, crass, and absolutely wicked to be making fun of an invasion (happening at that very moment) that killed innocent men, women, and children. One that separated families forever in death, brought chaos and destruction and tore from the citizens freedoms that they most likely will have lost for generations to come.
Why? ALL for the sake of a laugh! How wicked on Colbert's actions and CBS for allowing it to happen.
At the very best, Colbert should be suspended. At the very least Colbert and CBS owe the Ukraine people and the people of the US a sincere, remorseful apology.
Where in the name of common decency is Colbert and CBS's compassion not to mention BRAINS. Both...shame on you!
Desired outcome: Suspend Colbert and give him time to sit home and think about his stupidity and insensitivity.... CBS? Go on tv and apologize to the Ukraine and American people.
Morning news
Gail King is TONE DEAF! Today (2/4/2022) She completely MISSED the point about dismantling a bridge to make room for Jeff Bezos yacht. When the point was made that rather than spend his money to rebuild the bridge, he could pay his fair share of taxes in the US. That went right over her head and she simply defended the fact that he could pay for the project (in another country, creating jobs etc) OMG, she's hopeless. Plus, she constantly interrupts and insinuates herself in others' interviews. I admire Nate and Tony is nice though a bit hapless. I am considering returning to ABC even though I prefer your programming. Brooke Hamlin, Ocala, FL [protected]
Desired outcome: I know you can't teach commonsense but at least try.
Young sheldon series
On the show young sheldon that I watched earlier ( A locked in, the weather girl, and a disgusting habit) The show showed Sheldon's brother that lied to a female cast about his age. He was 17 on the show but told that female that he is 21. The female on that show also lied about her age saying that she was 25 but she was actually 29. The end of the show she admitted to Sheldon's brother that she is actually 29 not 25 and he said it was fine and they continue made out. I think in the light of child abuse, this show promotes pedophilia. It is almost making it show a permission to let 29 years old female make out with 17 years old boy. I knew he was lied about his age but it is not an appropriate thing to show on a family show. Shame on you CBS to let this slide!
Desired outcome: Take down show that implies pedophilia
T-mobile billing
I change from Sprint to T-Mobile, and they said that the bill would be the same and it doubled. It was $87.oo to $160.00 a mouth. My wife has been calling in every month to talk about the bill. Back in August, i spent 4 hours at T-Mobile location in Plano in one day, they turn off both of my phones. With them turning my phones, they gave me another phone for free to get my business back up, and they said to my wife and i that my personal will be turn on at Midnight that it would be back on, it wasn't. I called in the the corporate headquarters and talk to Mike Seivert, the owner. He was the one that got my personal phone back working. September, i was charge for that free phone, so it wasn't free. So, we had to call in again, again every month. I have my bills from Sprint showing what my bills was. I spent 6 hours total at the store working on this. Can you help, I have called in Corporate Headquarters again to see if they could, I'm just getting tired of calling in every month. It takes 2 hours every time we call in, every month they say that they got it fixed.
The lies that gail and the other hosts are perpetuating
I just heard Gail lie on national tv and am very upset that there is no recourse to hosts perpetuating lies on national tv that so much people are watching and believing. She said she spoke to doctors and there is no part of the covid vaccine that someone could be allergic to. Why this makes me so angry is that my own husband has an allergy to an ingredient in mirilax and that ingredient is in many of the covid vaccines, polyethylene glycol. I'm not talking about a mild allergy either. His reaction landed him in the hospital. How dare she say something that could put people in the hospital or kill them. It's time we hold people responsible for lying on national tv. https://www.firstcoastnews.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/vaccine/how-covid-19-vaccine-can-hurt-those-allergic-to-miralax-laxitive/77-84923362-7952-41e8-974e-9173b1150652
Desired outcome: A retraction in her statement with proper information so no one gets hurt by her statement.
Report on the John Durham report
TV channel
I've noticed for the past couple months that the CBS channel has a lot of pixel break ups and freezes is there anyway that you can check your connections and find out why your your customers are getting such a bad Reception from your channel only I would appreciate it if you would check into this because other people that I know it's having the same problem so I have to be at a network connection and not a house connection And the break up happens at all hours of the day so there's not really a timeline frame that it just happens on and I'm from Orlando Florida
Untrue and false reporting
I am now boycotting CBS. Your reporting of the Governor of Florida is biased and untrue. You failed to put all the facts out for public view - you pick snipets of what someone said and try to base facts w/out all the information. You are obviously biased and a Democrat station - you should be a station that reports truth and gives us facts - not lies. You should be a station for all the people: Democrats, Republicans and Independents. You seem to provide only yellow journalism. You don't bother to report other news that people don't know about, but should; i.e., Blue Shield giving [gruesome] Newsom $23 billion and in turn, they get to distribute the COVID vaccine. Is this fair and accurate reporting? The list, as you well know, is endless as to what you DON'T report ... only the lies and misconceptions seem to get air. You should be ashamed! I am sure I am not alone ... you lost me as a viewer.
Desired outcome: Change your way of reporting ... report the truth - not just yellow journalism!
