“CBS Evening News” anchor Jeff Glor responded to a tweet from a viewer complaining about when he praises a reporter’s work on air.

• The Twitter user, who goes by the name Cynthia Engdal, labeled Glor’s praise as “editorial comments.”
• She further pointed out that she is “quite capable of deciding if a a specific reporters (sic) coverage is ‘exceptional’.”
• “I don not require, nor do I need your help. Thank you.” she concluded.
• Glor replied to the tweet saying “When people risk their lives to bring us important stories I’m going to keep thanking them.”
• He added “But I do appreciate the note and thank you for watching.”
• Engdal’s complaint is similar to one a viewer left on WGN’s voicemail in 2018 — though the station’s response was a bit more clever.
