Donald Trump did not create "Fake News" during his running for 2016 election. He created it when the sovereign people(Indians) wanted to build Foxwood casino in Connecticut.
##The UNJUST AND PROFITABLE mass incarnation of Black fathers/mothers#/families are among the many reasons that BLACK PEOPLE MUST SUE FOR REPARATIONS UNTIL THE COMING AGAIN OF JESUS CHRIST 🙏 🤲!!!###
I sure miss him . . .😥
RIP Charles Osgood
It was also said they based Baltimore drama The Wire on his early life. RIP endearing Charlie.
Class act
He will be missed! Thoughts and prayers.
What a thoughtful, heartfelt tribute! Charles Osgood was beloved to my entire softer news watching family. Tyou for the decades of kind, classy reporting.
CBS Sunday Morning hasn't been the same since 2016 . Charles Osgood is a class act 🎀🌞

You all did a wonderful job remembering Mr. Osgood today. 👍🏾👍🏾❤️
He was a top hat in playing a piano. He will be missed.

Ill see you on the radio … in the next life. ❤🎀
Wow such a beautiful life! 🥹💖
What a lovely tribute.
A lovely man ❤
I always thought he had a nice voice, speaking and singing, but his sister! WOW What a beautiful voice!
Charles Osgood was a superb storyteller. This piece is proof of his journalistic acumen.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I really loved this story!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
I totally love that you guys made the entire show, a tribute to Mr Osgood. I remember him from being with CBS, and how easily he could spin a rhyme, and also that he always wore such beautiful ties. What I didn't know but learned today, was how much more there was to him than being a great newscaster/commentator/poet laureate. If only we could all live even half the life that he did! Thanks CBS for today's tribute to Charles!
How wonderful! He and Mary Anne made a great team😂
Peaceful ✌🏼
❤🎉😊😊😊👋😎📺🎂😎✌🏼👋😎🎵
Great story ❤
What a great tribute to Charlie. RIP.
How beautiful. I will miss you.
Thanks Charlie,
Godspeed 🙏🏼💚
Such a simpler time at the homestead. I know technology has improved a lot of things and made us more efficient but the brain had time to rest back then. And creativity came from yourself not a little computer in your hand.
