- I enjoyed Faith Sallie's story on women's hair, but I think we can safely say--despite the insertion of Diana Ross in an afro which was very was uncharacteristic for her and a couple of black women, one of whom was tagged on at the end as an example of someone whose hair needed to be made over-- the story was about White women and their hair attitudes and perceptions. Why not acknowledge this? Either the images should have been more inclusive--Black, Asian, Hispanic, etc., because each of those groups can have different concerns and perceptions about hair, or the reporter should have used the qualifier, "White women." I would have felt much more engaged by that honesty. Instead I was perturbed by the erroneous or at least presumptuous use of "we" as a universal here.

- While I do not defend the actions of FoxConn in any way, I didn't hear anything about what Mr. Daisy is doing with the proceeds of his show at The Public. Is he donating them to the families of those who took their lives @ FoxConn or is he profiting from the situation like Apple and any one of the other Corporations who benefit from their labor? Apple is a big, sexy company we've watched grow from $4/share to over $400. Their devices have changed the world and they are an easy target. Calling them out on their labor practices is a worthwhile effort, especially as it relates to the tragic conditions @ FoxConn. But it seems to me that everyone is making money here, including Mr. Daisy. Unless his show is free, the pot may be calling the kettle black.

- i love sunday morning...the diversity of the segments...the unique insights...i always learn something that inspires me to research further...always asks questions or tells a story i never even realized i might interest me...always opens doors and finds something that makes me want to watch it next week. i love how human mr. osgood is and always seems to set the tone for the upcoming piece. each segment is pared with the perfect reporter and even the subs for mr. osgood are carefully chosen. it is the only show where i feel everyone involves cares for it and treats the show itself and each segment with care and respect. i stop all i am doing for the duration of the show...rushing to refresh my coffee. please continue this show...for my children and now my grandchildren it is required "reading" as it is like a wonderful book that makes you anxious to turn the page to see what story the next page tells.

- Nancy Giles' editorial on Sunday on the topic of politicians was a huge disappointment. Sunday Morning is my absolute favorite television show (recorded EVERY Sunday) because of my respect for the reporters, content, and delivery. Nancy was defensive and totally out of line with her comments. Her delivery was bitter, the content unconvincing, and the time devoted to the editorial was a waste of air space. For once, Newt stood up to people that are always challenging prospective "newsmakers" as if they have every right in the world to embarass and avoid the topics of real concern. I say "HURRAH" to Newt - he earned my respect for his direct response to an outright challenge. Thank you, Newt! As for Sunday Morning, I will skip the segments done by Nancy Giles in the future but remain faithful to the rest of your highly regarded staff.

- Enjoyed Bill Geist's feature on The Re-enactment Guild in Yuma. I have more than just a few re-enactment gunfights under my belt, since age 14 and I'm seventy. I've also been a Doc Holliday Portrayalist for nearly twenty years. I would suggest to Mr. Burns (one of the event judges) that when he tells a man that the chaps he is wearing are not in period, that he pronounce the word correctly. Chaps is pronounced "shaps". From the Spanish word chapalas (those fellas invented 'em). Fun story.

- Well, another year and disappointed again that Alabama football gets no love from the CBS Sunday Morning Show. We win the BCS National Championship game this past Monday night in a first-ever shut out game where the opponent, who was praised all season for their "team of the century" only crosses the 50 yard line one time the entire game and no mention. I guess awesome defensive teams is just not as glamorous as a team that racks tons of points against their opponants. We in the South love and appreciate our powerhouse defenses!!! Roll Tide!!

- I regularly view Sunday Morning and have for many years. I'm a little upset, however, with the recent focus on celebrity profiles and celebrity news in general. The only "news" about Americans seems to be the unusual stuff Bill provides at the end of most shows. Recently on the Today Show, Bob Dotson had a great feature on a small town that isn't giving up despite the hard times, with neighbors providing help to one another, with some even having cancer and other severe problems. It was a wonderful story and Sunday Morning used to have more like those. Have more stories on American people and America, not just the celebrities and the arts.

- Hello Sunday Morning,
I have been watching your show for quite some time now. It was always a favorite of my mothers and me. We would each watch it, she in NY and me in CO, and then call each other to discuss the content. It was wonderful. Thank you for letting us have that bond.
I do have one request though. If you could please increase the time, maybe only a few seconds, when you put up a spot on information to read such as polls results, facts, ect... that would greatly help me and probably many others get all the wonderful information your a reporting. The spots are just to quick.
Thank you for considering this.
See you Sunday!

- I am a devoted and enthusiastic viewer of CBS Sunday Morning. This Sunday, I was offended and disgusted by the segment on politicians who change their minds. It was a blatant plug for Mitt Romney. He and the entire Republican slate are an insult to human intelligence and humanity itself. I turn on Sunday Morning as a respite from all of the vile negativity that we are assaulted with during the week. Let's kept Sunday Morning as non-partisan as possible. In fact, since you have opened this ugly can of worms, you may want to give the other side equal time. This episode, when coupled with the fluff piece on Eric Cantor on 60 Minutes, gives the impression that CBS is shilling for the Republicans. It leaves a viewer to wonder if anything your newsroom presents can be trusted.
