- Rebbeca Jarvis, you forgot to ask the most obvious question that anyone should ask of these college professionals...how many classes does a professor typically teach?? My guess would be 2-3 per week, maybe putting in 6 hours of actual work??? If you figure in 10 hours of office time they give, they're getting paid an awful lot of money for part time hours!!
And, take a look at some of the extras they spend money on, extravagant landscaping, extravagent construction projects (what college do you know needs a bowling alley?). Do some more digging! At the end of the day, it's the taxpayer that ends up funding this. So why would I want to fund a Doctorate degree for a kid who wants to pursue Anthropology as their major?? Come on! - Reply to this comment
- Byron Pitts YOU ARE THE PITTS!!!
Just watched your interview with Franklin Graham. You are an antagonistic S.O.B. You're too opinionated with your questions and very pointed and assumptive with your comments. If you would have been that pointed with me I would have punched you in the face. Don't you dare tell someone how they think. This is not in defence for Graham, its a defence against you. Maybe they could use you on BET network. - Reply to this comment
- On the story about the FDA and the heart device - why didn't you ask the fundamental question of WHY the FDA hasn't done what it needed to do? I'll bet it's not because they are just lazy or uncaring - I'll bet it is because they are understaffed. Too much to do and too few people to do it. Could also be because vested interests such as AdvaMed and the industry have pressured the FDA via Congress to be industry-friendly. But it is CBS News job to tell us - don't just bring up the problem - tell us why it is and what can be done about it!

- I just watched the segment about morphine and other pain relieving drugs that are not available to most countries. I could not believe it! It really touched my heart to see what a small amount of people are doing to aide others in their time of need. My main concern after viewing this segment..is what happens to Fred now? His father is gone..and his family has disowned him..I know its off topic but my heart cries out for that child..who takes care of him now?

- Thank you Ben for your piece on American Airlines. Every time I fly I notice what airline people do and the stuff they deal with.

- The Not So Shiny Side of Apple....? The Oh So Misleading Sunday Morning:
The story IS a bummer, and it is disturbing, but I have to take exception with the COMPLETELY MISLEADING 'suicide' angle presented in the Sunday Morning spot.
The report cited a 'staggering' 18 suicides last year at the FoxConn factory. Horrible by any standard, BUT:
She also reported that the factory employees 400,000 people.
According to our own National Institutes of Health, the average rate of suicide in the US is 11.3 suicides per 100,000. So, at 400,000 we would expect approximately 45.2 suicides for that 400,000 population on average.
So the truth of the matter is that the suicide rate in the US on average, is approximate TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY percent higher than the FoxConn workers....... Can someone at CBS or Sunday Morning please comment on this??? I LOVE your show, but I HATE media bias and spin. It make you unreliable and untrustworthy.
The next time you tug on my heart strings and show me a story THAT MAY WELL BE WORTH OF MY TAKING ACTION TO HELP IMPROVE SOMEONE'S LIFE, or TO RIGHT A WRONG.... how do I know you speak the truth...?
fyi- link the the NIH Suicide Stats:

- Nancy Giles segment on Political Hipocrisy is one that makes me one to stop watching Sunday Morning after being a loyal viewer since 1979. I always enjoyed the show because it covered stories you normally didn't see in the news or took interesting stories and elaborated on them. It has now become a forum for celebrities and politics. I stopped watching NBC's today show 4 years ago when it became painfully obvious who Matt Lauer was supporting for the presidency. I do not want to see personal political or religious views forced on the American public in an effort to sway votes. These are opinions (and yes, I know that the segment is Nancy Giles Commentary) but it was extremely biased. It has no place on the Sunday Morning show. In case those liberals reading this think I am a staunch Republican and am offended by her comments: I have been a democrat my entire voting life and I vote in every election. I am just tired of the media cramming stuff down my throat that is NOT NEWS. Please, Sunday Morning. Get back to being that gentle reporting format that made me race to hear the opening song and eagerly await hearing what was to be covered today. Don't make me turn off CBS at 9:00 am on Sunday Morning.
