Gayle, you're getting too personal

https://twitter.com/GayleKing/status/685422155329368066


Comment from Poynter.org: "Thank goodness for Instagram. Want to see the footsies of the co-anchor of "CBS This Morning" on a scale? "This has NEVER happened before I weigh LESS after vacation! Doing the hula & bowing to the altar." (King) The societal benefits of the journalists' social media self-obsession are underscored. Gayle, congrats. Best to Oprah (a Weight Watchers investor)."
