PBS News Hour

I’ve written to PBS previously imploring you to not broadcast anything which includes a clip of Trump. At minimum, please do not include his voice. I suspect there are still people who are repulsed by seeing and hearing Hitler and Mussolini. I am repulsed by both seeing and especially hearing Trump. His is the worst of humankind. Yesterday’s (6/24) PBS Newshour included at least 4 clips of that monster, including his pontificating. I had to leave the room each time, and finally turned off the program entirely.

Please, the PBS Newshour, and especially Judy Woodruff’s contributions to it, is a vitally important source of objective, balanced, and insightful reporting. Including clips of Trump does not enhance its newsworthiness, and in fact is a terrible detraction.

Thank you,
