Status:Returning Series
Premiered:November 3, 1975
Show Categories:Talk Shows, News/Documentary

For ABC, this was a much more successful morning news series than A.M. America, which had lasted the first ten months of 1975. ABC looked at one of its affiliates, WEWS in Cleveland, and admired the station's very successful news/talk series called The Morning Exchange (1972-1999). Network programming president Fred Silverman oversaw ABC's using The Morning Exchange as a model for their new program.

Today the show is anchored by Charlie Gibson, Diane Sawyer and Robin Roberts. Tony Perkins gives weather reports throughout the morning. The show is usally in a battle for #1 with rival morning news show "Today"

The Bottom Line: "Going downhill fast"
It is unclear as to what you are looking for in this space. A summary of what? My review? Me? ...Continue »
I am very disappointed in what I have been viewing with GMA lately regarding the presidential campaign and polls. You are proving to be more left-sided than I had thought. Let me preface this with the fact that I had turned to GMA quite some time ago because you appeared to be less biased then most morning news shows. It was refreshing.
This morning, I turned on your show only to hear that McCain's negative campaigning poll votes exceeded Obama's. You failed to inform the viewer, though, that although McCain may have more negativism (based on a poll), Obama's negative adds are airing 2-1 in most undecided states. With that in mind, who, truly, is more negative? This is misleading to the viewer.

The Bottom Line: "Change the channel!"
I'm saddened by what I watch daily now on GMA. I cannot believe how biased your broadcasting has become. ...Continue »
I am very disheartened when I watch GMA, it is so politically biased I am appalled. This is obviously a democratic crew and it shows through on your broadcasts daily. I cannot believe how you downgrade people who have a different view than you. You make fun of Sen. Palin and McCain you try to boost confidence when talking about Bidin and Obama. I have always felt that this was an "equal opportunity" show, yet lately I just plain change the channel, as I am outraged to see how your media is handling this Presidential campaign. If the candidates could just do the talking and the rest of you be quiet, America could make up it's own mind on their votes, but after debates or anything of the like, you have all your analysts come on and "TELL" America what they really meant and who is really leading and how they should be swayed to vote. I have given up on GMA and have decided not to waste my time.

Sorry for the review, but it's been coming since February. You have definitely gone down hill in your reproach on televising.

Now that the Obama Whistle stop tour is over will they give McCain equal time. ...Continue »
I don't think I will watch GMA, at least till after the elections are over. They don't report on the candidates fair or give them equal time. They report on Obama twice as much as McCain unless they can find something negative to say. They used the whistle stop tour as campaign train for Obama, with four days dedicated to Obama and only one to McCain. What happen to fair and equal reporting. The media are suppose to be impartial. But so far they haven't been. I read in just about every posting about the fairness of the reporting. I would the media would get the hint sooner or later.

The Bottom Line: "Going downhill fast"
Charlie Gibson missed the mark with his interview of Sara Palin. He seemed to have left his distinguished journalist persona home and choose to be an "attack and conquer" rookie journalist for this interview. ...Continue »
I watched the first interview Charlie Gibson did with Sarah Palin and I was appalled at how he seemed to be deliberately looking for a topic that would trip her up, get her to say something stupid, or admit she was not qualified. When he asked her if she had met with any foreign heads of state (a question I feel sure he ALREADY knew the answer to) he seemed to have a smug look on his face as she answered no. Instead of asking her that question, he could easily have said something like "I know that you have not meet with any foreign heads of state, what can you bring to the table in terms of dealing with foreign dignitaries." I am extremely disappointed in Mr. Gibson's "attack and conquer" method of journalism with regards to Sara Palin. I have watched Mr. Gibson for years and had great respect for what seemed to be a genuine concern for "getting it right" with respect to the news, with respect to Sara Palin he seems to have forgotten that approach and was he was determined to discredit her. He failed in that respect, she is an accomplished, talented, dedicated woman who would serve our country well. What he did manage to do was make himself look more like an amateur reporter looking for that "big story" instead of the accomplished journalist he has been in the past. Shame on Charlie Gibson.
