In my mind, Margaret Brennan is one of the best interviewers of the day. She gives the interviewee the opportunity to express their opinions and follows up intelligently. She will correct inaccurate information without turning it into a gotcha moment or an emotional exchange. I learn more from this show than any other Sunday morning political show.

We appreciate the effort

She is tough, funny, and she. knows her stuff. Her pacing is great. This show really moves along, and she covers a lot of ground.

Mrs. Brennan allows for a balanced discussion by allowing commentary from both sides of the aisle, however what would make this show more educational and accurate would be fact check and correct and CHALLENGE the people of power she had on this program.

I listen to this show because I think it’s important to hear people’s perspectives. Margaret does push back, but not as strongly now. When you listen to what these people say, average people don’t learn the truth and can’t hold on to the real story. It’s a way for them to come on and just give propoganda, and this is allowed? We need someone who can clarify what’s really happening to those who are listening. For JD Vance to equate undocumented migrants with violent criminals repeatedly, for example, why do you allow this? This reporting makes these fascists look reasonable, and this is the time to hold them accountable! They won’t let you report forever, so better get tough with them NOW!

What the HELLO...Musk is illegal under law in America due to lying on his citizenship application and should be deported. Read "WIRED" dated 10-31-2024. Please get on this story.

Sad. As a moderate Libertarian I’ve enjoyed the show for years (on tv too) knowing of the progressive biases. It’s gone too far. Trust is gone, good bye.

Margaret, you and Nora did a great job! (Regardless of what Trump says)

Just unfollowed the show. It's often difficult to find balanced news and generally this was better than most Sunday shows. But the Oct 6 show which basically labelled Israel as the sole source of the aggression in the Middle East was a step too far. Maybe Hamas should just give the hostages back and Hezbollah should stop holding Lebanon hostage. That would be a nice start too

When the topic of immigration was brought up with JD Vance, there was no mention of the bi partisan (supported by Oklahoma’s James Lankford!) bill that trump had his minions reject. How is that possible?

Don’t you think it’s good journalism to make the interviewee back up their statements? Like when Haley says that a Harris administration is going to raise taxes on middle income Americans, why don’t even ask, How? The statement is not true and yet there is zero follow up.

I was very disappointed that you didn’t call out the republicans you interviewed on the obvious lies they were spouting! Please call out the lies!

Gottlieb - when you interview him, you also must mention he is part of Pfizer board

Can’t watch anymore as Margret is way over her head. Her biases are so transparent, her frequent interruptions and her condescension are off putting. A former fan

Great podcast for catching up on the recent politics. Thanks so much!

Return the hostages!!! Make Hamas end the war!!!

CBS News needs to stop interrupting guests with conservative point of views. Then licking the boots of the liberal guests on the show. If CBS can not control their Liberal hosts then they need to fire them or shut down their money losing news division. I will not continue watch or listen to CBS News until they can get control of their host and present a more balanced news reflecting all points of views in America not just the left.

Sorry, but you are mispositioned to be hosting Face The Nation. You would be and are fantastic when you fill in hosting for Nora.

The gambling ad gave me a headache. I’ve unfollowed you, sorry.

True journalism at its best! Great unbiased reporting that everyone should watch. Keep up the good work Margaret and hope the other pseudo journalists learn from you how to inform the public.

Margaret Brennan is tenacious in her interviewing and professional in her dealings with one and all compared to Kristen Walker who speaks as if she were addressing a kindergarten class particularly when speaking to colleagues.

I’m 40 years type 1 diabetic, insulin dependent. What I’m telling you is a fact. I or anyone can go into Walmart pharmacy (for the last ten years) buy a vial of insulin, no prescription, no doctor, no insurance (please pay attention now) for $24. Anytime during the last 10 years. No insurance, no doctor, no prescription, voila. Thus, the hoopla about reducing insulin costs is ? Please let me know you’ve received and understand my communication, Appreciatively, Marco the tucson cowboy

This is the bottom line. I’d rather listen to the BBC or others not merely posing as objective journalists. A shame.

I am a huge fan of all the Sunday shows but out of all of them, this one if my favorite for its substance, tone and the fact that it’s always there. Quick example: this past week was arguably one of the biggest weeks with a federal grand jury indicting a former president. Face the Nation had helpful perspectives, which often differed, and it also do so while providing informative analysis. The other networks couldn’t quite pull that off or didn’t event try.

Big fan of your reporting and journalism. Your most recent interview with the CIA chief was awesome. Keep up the great work and thank you for all you do.

Now paramount wants you to pay for these podcasts Booooooooooo

If you are tilted towards the left. You will like it, if not, not so much.

So annoying when Margaret interrupts and speaks over her guests.

Regarding conversations today with Blinken concerning Israel… have you ever heard of a people called the Palestinians!?!

She should replace Mika (somehow?). If she reads this-please do a daily show. I know it takes more time away from family but your mind is important to modern society and it proves women can be highly effective. Your speed and aggression are spectacular. Your husband is one lucky dude😂👍

I listen to all the network Sunday morning shows and Face the Nation is remarkable for pushing the guests to answer the questions and not just let them make speeches

The questions to Sen. Toomey were reasonable with appropriate follow ups. Mayor Lucas and Congressman Schiff seemed as if they were being interviewed by one of their staffers and Prof. Stevenson by one of her grad students. This obvious bias only energizes the extremes in our political discourse, both on the right and left. I would like interviews with tough but fair questions and am disappointed Face the Nation did not deliver.

Margret is well informed, smart, tough and fair.

Germany, France, Sweden and Denmark have all halted Moderna vaccine for children in the past year. MARGARET: as a journalist, please stand up for us moms and ask the Moderna rep the tough questions!!! WHY was it halted? Why aren’t journalist challenging these people????

I used to listen without fail. However, the tone during the recent change of administrations made clear a bias, as did the particular drumbeat created during COVID-19 (note the odd outsized # of appearances by Scott Gottlieb. He is a smooth talker for sure but how is it that he managed to get such a regular spot?) Ms. Brennan is a star, to be sure - best interviewer in the ecosystem of policy-centered journalists. However, being based in Washington has a negative impact on the show in addition to the positive. I wonder how the line of questioning might change if, say, Ms. Brennan lived outside of Charlotte or Houston. Yes, she has access by being DC-based, but DC is a bubble - a good one in many ways, but a bubble for sure. Now that COVID is in retreat take the show on the road. Go to the middle of the country. See what happens. You’d be surprised. (Don’t assume you know how you’d be surprised. The assumptions are your bias talking) Get out of the air-conditioned offices, out from behind the computers, and start rubbing shoulders with folks. Let go of team members who shoot the snarky remarks off camera. We know these folks exist because of the tone. It’s not a bad tone, but could serve a wider audience if it was less overtly “DC”.

Thanks for holding the Biden administrations feet to the fire.

What’s the purpose of significantly raising the volume for ads? You’re risking hearing loss or injury to your listeners. I hope someone is looking into the risk and harm.

Advertising supports your show. And yet you have still not heeded past reviews since at least July that they are way, way too loud!!! I will only listen to this podcast as last on my list for this reason. No other show has such a stark differentiation between the show and the advertising loudness levels. Pay for a professional to fix this problem.

Worst episode ever. Is this Face the Nation? Did they change the show?

Moderator does not ask tough questions of left-of-center quests.

Pathetic to a joke how stayed on the air is scary never once did u aks the red neck mayor about one proven facts of safety in not geting the virus wearing mask . I’ll continue listing so I can caution people iof you’re stupid so called news and ignorance of proven medical facts . There are no minus stars for rating to bad

John Dickerson is doing an excellent job of filling in for Margaret Brennan but is it really necessary to blast us out of our seats by cranking up the volume on the ads? I set the volume at a level which allows me to hear the host and his guests clearly without disturbing everyone else in the house but then along comes an ad to wake up my entire family. In the case of the ads featuring “Jill Schlesinger, CBS Business Analyst” I think they also wake up some of my neighbors. It’s so irritating that, just on principle, I would never, ever buy any product or service advertised on the FTN podcast. Could that be what they are going for?

Very sharp; fair

Unsubscribed because of how you guys treated Benjamin N Y

Needed much more time w him!

Margaret is great!!! When is she going to moderate a Presidential Debate????👍👍

I have listened to Face the Nation for years and enjoyed it. I am sad to say Margaret Brennan ‘s constant interruption of her guests is disconcerting. The guest is unable to complete a thought. It is rude and says to the guest- “that response is not what I want from you!” CBS you are losing viewers.

Enjoy much of your shows will not watch any news related information due to supporting insurrectionist and giving them airtime to continue to promote violence on American people and airing that he still supports Trump not asking the right questions about that there is no voter fraud and that he’s incorrect. there was no support that the people of the United States legally voted in President Biden and he is a current President of the United States QUIT supporting propaganda that hurts Americans and supports the insurrectionists that want to do us harm

You don’t see this with the make hosts!

I don’t like the tone of the host
