PBS newshour

I am addressing this message to the board of CPB. I understand how crucial CPB's support for PBS programming is. I am long time supporter of PBS myself, as I consider PBS a national treasure. The PBS NewsHour on 8/7/24.had the mayor of Dearborn Michigan as a guest, to get his opinion on whether the citizen's of Dearborn would support Kamala Harris or would be willing to work with Trump's representatives. It is astonishing that the producers of the program decided to put this question to the mayor of a city. It also looked very much like the producers were providing a platform to the mayor to benefit him in his future political aspirations. I hope someone from CPB could examine this episode of the NewsHour and ask the producers to maintain the high standard of journalism that is expected from PBS.
