Since CBS changed the format and lost real journalists the show has gone downhill. If I wanted all the fluff pieces I would be watching NBC or ABC morning news. The real journalists have gone on to other things. Anthony Mason is seen less and less as special reporter. Too much of the show is based on Gayle and her opinions. Get back to the news.
Tony and Nate try to keep it straight but at the end of the story it ends up to be a free for all and turns out to be a comedy routine among the hosts.
Even the 90 seconds of all you need to know news items at the beginning of the show are not covered with more extensive stories later in the show.
