I am finding that the CBS Morning news show to be the best of all. Their selection

of items and lack of extended talking heads has made me a fan. They did a wonderful piece of the efforts to restore the train that carried Lincoln's body after his assassination.

Now that I'm home, in the mornings, it's pretty shocking to see what passes for network "news" programs. I really don't want to be entertained - I really DO want to be informed.

mainly because I like my CBS affiliate morning show.
CBS This Morning is pretty good, although I can't stand Gayle King. I don't think she's very good.

Admittedly, I'm not watching it for in-depth news. Just a bit of light coverage in the morning, a little pop news, some local stuff. I essentially watch from 8 to 8:30 while having breakfast. No need for anything heavy since I can get that throughout the day online.

The group that's come together there has definitely worked well and has a good sense of fun in general. The only segments I actively avoid now are Tori's.

is fantastic. Phil Williams is an investigarive reporter who has had many of his perdonal stories break nationally and even caused some to go to jail. He is politically smart and been in Nashville for years. I'm sure other broadcasters have tried to hire him.

coffee and during happy hour. Major network daily news programs are very newsy and don't have a lot of talking heads on them. I get information more than opinion.

It's the only TV news I watch regularly. I get the rest of my news online.
