The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.

Good Morning America an ABC television show offers a so called Shout Out Board for viewers to post comments about the daily topics of conversation. On a regular basis there are viewers posting negative comments about Sarah Palin and her family. Most recently 01-08-11 a congresswoman in Arizona was gunned down by a 22 year old. On the shout out board are people blaming the Palins for being responsible for this act of violence. On a regular basis people post negative comments about the Palins. The opportunity to mark the comments as a violation is available. If I mark the comment as a personal attack then the comment is supposed to be removed, yet it isn't. If I post a comment about others and their negative remarks then mine just simply vanish after a few minutes. I think that the editors pick and choose what is posted. Mine are always deleted. I have now been blocked from the site entirely. So I created another account and asked why the persons comments(mine) keep getting deleted. Now I am blocked again. The page that pops up says that there is a problem with the web page. I think that ABC is completely biased and supporting negative propaganda against the Palins. I am not a Palin hater or necessarily a supporter but I do think that ABC is a hater. Otherwise they wouldn't keep deleting my comments against the other Palin haters. We all pull up our pants the same way and ABC is not fair with their Shout Out Board. Simply put ABC should be more open to everyone but they aren't.

Having George do interviews regarding the upcoming election is insulting. There is no way that he can not show any bias towards the Clinton camp...he used to work for them! Yet, he's the one doing the election related interviews?! You've got to be the greatest candidate for the Darwin Award!

On a recent GMA show Amy Robach interviewed Ivanka Trump Amy asked Ivanka what she thought of the ads where it shows Donald Trump spewing his usual hateful things that he always does ..the ad had children watching this on TV Ivanka said she would not let her children watch such negative ads...then the story was dropped. ...she should have said ..."well those are your fathers own words So you would not let your children listen to their grandfather " What's up with that? She dropped the ball there in my opinion.

The play off games have been mentioned on your TV however I have not heard anything about the K.C. Royals and how they are doing so well. If you have mentioned them on your I must have missed it. I watch t every morning before I go to work from 7:00-8:15 a.m. and have been disturbed that our little K.C. team has not been mentioned. I have heard a lot about the other teams that have won and are in the playoffs but not the Royals. With their initiative they will go on to the World Series. Thank you for listening to my rant.

It is a shame that GMA would deem it appropriate to show a clip from Forrest Gump containing the words Gd on this mornings story about Gary Sinise. This is another example of a news program careful not to offend homosexual supporters (see earlier story about Arizona) while completely disregarding Christian values.

At the start of the show the background DJ music is so loud it makes hearing the hosts very difficult. Not really necessary to keep the mood upbeat. Self-defeating for the show, I want to hear what is said not the music. Don't make me go back to NBC.

I think it is so good, and totally correct, that Aaron Hernandez is left in jail, and that the judge did not grant bail, even the second
time his lawyer requested it, saying it was his first offense. His first offense means nothing after hearing the charges against
him. Coming out that one man lost his eye after Hernandez shot him, and was scared to press charges for fear of retaliation from
this Hernandez. What kind of a football player is this? I mean such a horrible example, to be allowed to play any pro sports. He should be locked up forever! He's a piece of trash, regretfully .

My comment has to do with today's edition of 'The View"; (Thurs.1/24/13). It's about all the excitement over "Dallas";! JR is dead
(Larry Hag-man ), so the show seems to zero in on his son. Okay, but my question is, why Dallas, and not "Dynasty"! Dynasty
was a whole lot more exciting and extravagant, and very campy! Joan Collins and Linda Evans, along with most all the rest
of the original cast, is still alive and in good shape. John Forsyth has passed away; but, he had several sons and something
can easily be done with the story to make it just as good and exciting, without Blake Carrington. Joan Collins still looks fabulous.
By now she could own several companies and be traveling the world on her private jet, meeting Kings and Queens in private Air-
ports and Jet-ways. What about her children? What fabulous things are they doing (& not so fabulous?)? Bring Dynasty Back!

This show has become a big giggle fest and difficult to stomach. Everyone is too loud and wants to be the star. Sam Champion is way overboard and appears to be promoting a sexual preference agenda as opposed to something with substance. That over caffeinated Lara is a joke. Every guest that comes on the show is the greatest ever and one of her best friends. Who has that many celebrity best friends? George is the most sensible and reliable character on the show with Robin being ill.

Tone this giggle gab fest down or you will lose a lot more of the mature audience besides myself.

I so disagree with most of the news media, who seem to say that the Vice Presidential
debate was a tide. In my opinion Joe Bieden won hands down! He was in charge, he
put Ryan on the defensive for most of the debate. Ryan seemed like a college student next to our Vice President. Those who think Ryan won are just die hard Republicans, like
Mary Madlen, who turned into an old crow!
Bieden had facts, and facts that made sense! He also talked directly to the people. Asking
them, who do you want? The clear winner was Beiden, and I'm proud to be a Democrat!

Good Morning America, please get your facts straight...I was very pleased to see you reporting on your morning newscast Martin McGuiness and Queen Elizabeth II shaking hands and finally after 45 years we have a probable and sustainable resolution to "the Troubles." This will go along way in resolving issues and creating goodwill in Northern Ireland, for both protestants and catholics. My issue lies with ABC reporting from Belfast, Ireland. The last time I looked at an atlas, Belfast is in Northern Ireland, not Ireland. Belfast is the capital of Northern Ireland which is part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Please in future, report these facts accurately. Until the day we have a united Ireland, Belfast should be referred to as Belfast, Northern Irealnd.

I think that Romney is the most unappealing candidate to come along in a very long time.
His face is untrustworthy looking! Everything that comes out of his mouth, I immediately
disbelieve. His wife trying to soften his image is a joke. All the polls seem to think that
Obama is leading and predict that he will become the next president; but, ABC constantly says that Romney is leading because of the Economy. The Economy is NOT as much an
issue as the news makes it out to be. Plus it is not Obama's fault. It is Bush that left the country in a mess and Obama can't make it happen overnight. He is doing the best he can in the time he has. He is the only choice in November. Romney should really retire out West or in another country somewhere and spare us all having to look at him.

I am so mad that they voted Jaleel White out of Dancing with the Stars last night. So unfair and I really think "Len" had it in for Jaleel and wanted him out. Also Carrie=Ann also went along with him. Where do these judges get all their experience and authority? Carrie
Ann's c claim to fame is For Living Color. Give me a break. What real dance training and
experience do they really have? Have they danced on Broadway? I think NOT! That's it for me this season. I don't care who wins.

What are the inserted #'s and letters in my above comment on Romney?
Aside from the fact that I detest Romney for President, I cannot help
but think how America can be so stupid as to believe his wife's efforts
to try and soften his image. He is a gross individual and is insulting the
way he talks about President Obama. I hope with every fiber of my being
that he looses this election badly. He also would be BAD for out country.

What happened to the GMA Shout Out Board? Why has it been discontinued. I looked forward to reading the different conversations on the board. Was it removed because so many people wrote in demanding that Nancy Grace be removed? She was at it again declaring without in proof that Whitney Houston might have been murdered.

Glad to know that George S. will be hosting Sunday morning instead of Christiane Amanpour. George is better suited for political issues that GMA. Please keep him hosting the Sunday political show!

ever since i came to the states from europe, i liked # 7 & gma.
now i can't take the screaming anymore come 7 am gma.
comes the weatherman - push the screambutton
cmes a cook - push the screambutton
does he promise a sample - push the screambutton
and on and on it goes, i think you get what i mean, screaming over nothing,
you could save valuable time by doing away with that screaming,
just like the other stations do that i switch to. it's more sophisticated .

Who is Robin Robert's dresser? Lately she is wearing jeggings or leggings and they are not in the least becoming and especially unappropriate for TV. It is also obvious she is now wearing fake eyelashes. What is up with that? Whoever is her dresser needs to come up with a more appropriate wardrobe for morning tv.

Just wanted to comment on ugly christmas sweaters. I was I goodwill in Brockport, NY, and there was about 15 college students looking, and trying on these ugly sweater and laughing, having such fun! I was trying to figure out what this was about, when about 5 came over t me and asked what did I think? Were they ugly enough? Which they were tacky, but my question was why? They were having a ugly christmas secret santa party, where they wore them and then also did secret santa also! I thought it was hilarious, and spent time helping and laughing with them! When I seen this on gma, I couldn't resist shouting out! What fun! Terri Spencerport, ny

It was great to hear and see George last night as host of the Nightly News. He's our fav!

Lately Diane has been faltering and doesn't seem to be able to read the teleprompter. Maybe it is time for her to retire or move back to GMA!

We want George! Save David Muir for the weekend news! Oh, we also love Dan Harris!

Carson Kressley is absolutely not a good addition to the GMA program. His antics are silly and infantile--not funny or entertaining. It is like watching your middle school class clown "act out" for attention.

Just another few comments on the "Live with Kelly" show. I think Neil Patrick Harris would be great as her co-host. He is my first choice. I think it should be a minority of some sort. If not
Neil, and I can't see why not, I think Bryant Gumbel should be considered. He has great experience and a grasp for the audience. He looks great, and talks well. Kelly loves the way he smells and feels (Ha!). I feel both men would be received well by the audience.

I would like to make comments on the Shout Out Board, but cannot seem to find a link for it at all
in a long time. Is it gone? Anyway, I wanted to comment on Carson Kressley appearing on the show. I think he is a "great" addition to the show. He is really fun, and fits in perfectly, with his graphic comments and fun antics. Cindy Lauper looks a bit haggard and worn. Maybe its her
"witch-like" chopped hair style. Her voice is still good. My only other comment is that I think Neil Patrick Harris is the one that should be Kelly's co-host on Live with Kelly! Maybe: "Live with Kelly & Neil. He looks the part totally! A boy Regis! Betty White is a treasure. I adore her. Imagine, she is going to be 90, and in such good shape. My father is 93, and has trouble walking; but, that's basically it. My Mom is 86 and still does mostly everything. Aging is really different for everyone. Good Day to all!

GMA you missed a great opportunity to highlight the extreme dangers of adults co-sleeping with infants ! An extremely dangerous practice that can end in tragedy and does all too often. Parents, please put your children in a crib! A little crying now is nothing compared to the silence of a tragic accident if you should accidentally roll onto your baby.
gi
Having worked for 10 years as a pediatric nurse; I have seen how common and dangerous this practice is. Hope you will consider a follow -up story.

I am writing in regards to ABC'S decision to cancel Brothers and sisters and i say you all would have heard the outrage from brothers and sisters fan. Basically this show is one of the few Good quality tv shows left on tv. We feel people are more about money making then rewarding loyal fans.This show has gone for 5 great years/season and we feel we deserve a goodbye rather that be with a final season 6 or a few eps, movie length etc. I am writing to urge a network/ writters to pick this up as you will attract a huge audience base. This petition has just started and i feel it will grow and grow with time as brothers and sisters is all over twitter at the moment. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savebroandsis and facebook group https://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/pages/Keep-Brothers-and-Sisters-on-the-Air/207667012606183

I can't understand Chris Brown's actions, he should know so much better by now. I hear ABC is still allowing him to be a guest on "Dancing with the Stars" next week, well this is typical of rewarding bad behaviour, he obviously has'nt learned anything, disappointing of the network to say the least, get some scruples...

in regards to the seattle police officer who full fisted the 17 year old who obviously should be charged with obstruction of a law enforcement officer, should not be charged with any wrong doing as he was trying to deal with her friend had to defend himself . at that particular time they, the girls were unruly and resisting the officer . the jaywalker should be cited for jaywalking and resisting arrest, her friend who should have just remained out of it, should be charged with disorderly conduct and obstruction of a law enforcement officer . perhaps the fist was a bit over the line but over all the officer get my vote for the way he handle that particular situation . you can't train for every situation bucause that sinario come at you in thousands of different ways . a little bit more training perhaps but no discipline should be dealt out to him . i am not a police officer, i am a black man and i would have giving her more than he did, too bad he was just too nice a guy in my opinion !
