I am completely disenchanted with PBS based on the amount of fundraising done and on the content of the shows that are used to inflict this nuisance on the public. Many of these shows (health, retirement schemes, rehashes of shows for which I would rather see the show itself, and very biased and one-sided coverage of topics) make me wonder why I still bother to send in a contribution. I am totally done with this and with seeing anything I would like to just "sit down and watch" go to Passport.

Please air Swan Lake in protest of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. It was the only program that aired on a loop when the Soviet Union fell. This might be symbolic, but powerful. It could run as a fundraiser for the Ukrainian people.

I want the major 5 so-called News shows to cover the Ukraine and the President of the US address to America not criticisms of the president This is to important for the So-called news to short circuit the news to the American people. the crap they all shifted to this AM is treason to Democracy!

Omg the woman is terrible, can barely form a sentence

Since you have taken control of the local SoCal stations (KCET, KOCE, KLSC) you have fundraising EVERY WEEKEND. It is obnoxious. As well, you have decreased programming, showing the same things on all three channels. Where I used to be able to see different programming on each of them, more often than not, you get to see a rerun of something that has played on a sister station.

What are you doing with the money you raise? Doesn't seem that it is being used for new programming ( as is being "sold" on the fundraising script...

I recently found a way to watch Al Jazeera on my TV and after growing up listening to PBS and continuing to do so for 40 years of adulthood, I am getting close to making the switch. Listening to Mark Shields replacement stumble over his hyper emotional attempts to put forth his agenda after trying to make sense of an anorexic millennial whose only friend, a cat, licks itself on the sofa behind her, all while trying to forgive Judy Woodruff for trying not to look as old as Biden is just too much.

I do think that Jonathan Capehart brings a needed point of view (though predictably with a liberal bias), BUT HE TALKS TOO MUCH, taking up so much time that he leaves David Brooks squeezed (or so it seems to me). I used to love to watch this segment of the Newshour and now I feel the stress of Capehart being unable (though perhaps trying) to control himself from taking up too much space.

Please improve the speaking time balance between David Brooks and Jonathan Capehart. Johnpart seems to use twice as much time as David to answer questions. He needs to be more concise.

Please assist Yamiche Alcindor eliminate her habit of saying "yeah" at the end of every guest's comments. It is quite annoying.

I do not understand why this reporter is an anchor. Her speech lacks clarity, is “jittery” and distracts from the information. She fluctuates from trying to control and speaking too slowly, to jarring eye flutters joined by gasps racing mumbled speaking. She is probably best as a writer because elocution lessons fail her and us as the audience! It is disturbing as a viewer. Not trying to hurt her feelings, just really believe she isn’t qualified to speak on air as it isn’t professional discourse.

You’re smart, you’re a good newsman, you’re fidgeting is driving me crazy. You’re to good to be this nervous, you look like you forget to pee before going in the air. Please relax. Thanks
