Since I was a child in the 1970's I've been watching PBS. I would recommend it constantly throughout my life as a great source of educational information. Something happened to both PBS and NPR sometime between 2008 and 2016. You all became leftist shills insulting me and my intelligence daily. The things I've heard said and seen broadcast on both NPR and PBS is nothing short of propaganda. Propagandist scum should not be funded with tax dollars. I hope everyone there loses their job and you are forced to shit down for good. Then maybe we can start another public station that doesn't use it's position for nefarious activities. Go away nobody believes the garbage you spew.

I have an idea that CPB may be interested in. I think the public would benefit from a non profit social media site. One that has no or a very limited algorithm that only shows posts filtered under most recent or most engaged with. It could have a timeline for friends/family and another section for entities/people you just follow. Again only showing actual most recent posts or ones with the most engagement (likes, comments, etc...) in a certain timeframe, days, weeks, months, year. It could have a single spot for small advertisements as well as a donation link to assist in operating costs. A passport (for PBS/NPR) subscription could give you the benefit of not seeing the advertisement as well. Basic, customizable profiles to share some personality and personal flair would be helpful too. It could take social media back to its roots of being about genuine connection with friends and family, sharing life, stories, photos, etc... as a non profit under CPB it could serve as a bastion for free public speech. It could also have an educational section to link people to educational resources including how to identify misinformation. It could be a people only site as well, no business/corporation accounts. It could be called The Agora or something to play on that theme. I think this is exactly the sort of project that the CPB would be perfect to administer and promote through its various mediums of media.

I am writing about President Trump's Executive Order halting public funding of NPR and PBS. I strongly object to what he is trying to do. The First Amendment of the Constitution guarantees freedom of speech and press. NPR and PBS provide vital services to the communities they serve and the country. NPR and PBS should not be punished just because President Trump does not like what they are reporting. Please do whatever you can to halt this madness and protect the right of NPR and PBS to report the news.

CPB is missing out on a TREMENDOUS opportunity. Trup's threat to public media is the greatest potential fundraising motivator that culd be imagined. It is all well and good for it to stimulate increased donations to local stations. CPB has the opportunity to take advantage of this crisis to promote investing in nationall public media per se. Add a donation mechanism to your home page.

If Trump has no authority to end or direct CPB funding, then just ignore his executive orders. He's ignoring the courts, so ignore his orders and tell him you will do so. His head will explode.

I believe that president Trumps action against the CPB NPR and the PBS are illegal and he knowingly targeted them in spite of this knowledge to satisfy his “ personal” vendetta against them. The effected entities should sue Don Trump “personally” for abusing the power of the presidency in his personal quest for retribution he feels was directed at him as a private citizen.

PUBLIC BROADCASTING IS THE GOLD STANDARD FOR FACT-BASED, VERIFIABLE TRUTH, UNLIKE THE RT WING "CAMPAIGN OF DECEIT" NOW IN AT LEAST IT 9TH DECADE W TREMENDOUS INVESTMENTS IN LIES, DECEIT, FABRICATIONS, & VIOLATING IGNORANCE MOST AREAS. NOBODY, WHO CARES ABOUT VERIFIABLE TRUTH, LIKES TO LISTEN TO AN INTERVIEW WITH A RT WINGER WHO LIES REPEATEDLY, WHICH IS WHAT MOST PRESS GET W ANY INTERVIEW W MOST OF THEM. THEY SEEM TO CONSTANTLY BE PROJECTING THEIR OWN OPERATING MODE ONTO THEIR OPPOSITION. "RIGHT WING ACCUSATIONS ARE AN ADMISSIONS OF THEIR OWN OPERATING MODE" WAS A POPULAR SAYING ON SOCIAL MEDIA. A BUNCH OF SICK, DYSFUNCTIONAL, UTTERLY DECEITFUL, PATHOLOGICALLY LYING, SOCIOPATH WHO OPERATE W/O CONSCIENCE & ARE INCAPABLE OF TELLING THE TRUTH > 95% OF THE TIME. THEY ACTUALLY THOUGHT A "CAMPAIGN OF DECEIT" WAS A GOOD IDEA, STARTED BY JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY, 1958-72, PUSHED SINCE THE 1980S BY THE CLIMATE DENYING BILLIONAIRES FUNDING THE KOCH DECEIT NETWORK ENGAGING IN MASS MURDER OF MILLIONS/YR HEADED TO 8 BILLIONS FROM THEIR INCESSANT CLIMATE DENIAL LIES SINCE 1980S. PLANET IS FLYING BY THE UPPER LIMIT OF 1.5 DEG CEL INCREASE, 2025, HEADED TO CATASTROPHIC 3 DEG CEL INCREASE 2040. THEY'RE DUMB ENOUGH TO SEE THEIR OWN CHILDREN HAVE NO FUTURE, B/C NOONE < 50 HAS A FUTURE WITH THE HORRIFIC FORCES THEY'RE UNLEASHING ON PLANET'S CURRENT TRAJECTORY. THEY NEED TO BE CHARGED WITH: 1) MASS MURDER, 2) CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY AS THEY DESTABALIZE 16 CRITICAL TIPPING POINTS, WITH 9 ALREADY UNSTABLE, & 4-5 TIPPED 2025. THEY'VE ALREADY LOCKED-IN 65FT OF SEA LEVEL RISE. 3) BREACH OF NATIONAL SECURITY AS THEY CREATE 3 BIL CLIMATE REFUGEES WHO WILL MIGRATE TO FIND, FOOD, WATER, SAFETY, & SHELTER. THOUSANDS OF MENTAL HEALTH EXPERTS HAVE WARNED ALMOST A DECADE CREATING DOCUMENTARIES LIKE "UNFIT: DUTY TO WARN, OR "TRUMP CONTAGION", OR "DANGEROUS CASE OF DONALD TRUMP". UNFORTUNATELY MOST OF TRUMP'S SUPPORTERS OPERATE SIMILARLY. THERE ARE NUMEROUS VIDEOS ON YOU-TUBE WITH INTERVIEWS BY FORENSIC PSYCHIATRIST, BANDY LEE. SHE HAD REPEAT CONVERSATIONS W ANTHONY DAVIS OF MEIDAS TOUCH ON YOU-TUBE. PUT TOGETHER TRAINING VIDEOS TO HELP PEOPLE STAY SANE. MENTAL HEALTH EXPERTS HAD A CONFERENCE IN THE FALL OF 2024. NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE TRIED TO EXPOSE THEIR "CAMPAIGN OF DECEIT". **NPR, FRESH AIR INTERVIEWED THE AUTHOR OF "BIRCHER: HOW THEY RADICALIZED THE RIGHT". ** JANE MAYER EXPOSED KOCH DECEIT NETWORK IN "DARK MONEY". ALSO "KOCHLAND" AND "SONS OF WICHITA". THERE ARE PROBABLY OTHER BIOS & MOST OF THE AUTHORS ALSO HAVE INTERVIEWS ON YOU-TUBE. **JOE CONASON RELEASED "THE LONGEST CON" & DID AN INTERVIEW W THOM HARTMANN, JOE DID INTERVIEWS WITH OTHERS ON YOU-TUBE. E.J. DIONNE& NORM ORNSTEIN WROTE "WHY THE RIGHT WENT WRONG" AND BARRY GOLDWATER & JOHN DEAN WROTE "CONSERVATIVES W/O CONSCIENCE" THEY STARTED ON IT IN THE 1990S, BUT DEAN FINISHED IT AROUND 2007 AFTER HE RELEASED "WORSE THAN WATERGATE" ABOUT THE CORRUPTION IN THE BUSH-CHENEY ADMIN. DEAN HAS WRITTEN OTHER BOOKS SINCE THEN. THERE ARE PROBABLY OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE ALSO TRIED TO EXPOSE THIS "CAMPAIGN OF DECEIT". SO LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE TRIED TO EXPOSED THIS "CAMPAIGN OF DECEIT". NOW MAGA TRYING TO DESTROY U.S. DEMOCRACY W "PROJECT 2025" SOMETHING THEY'VE BEEN WORKING ON SINCE 1980S. ONE REPORT SAID THEY IMPLEMENTED ABOUT 60% OF THE FIRST PHASE IN THE REAGAN ADMINISTRATION. OF COURSE A GROUP OF PEOPLE ENGAGING IN A "CAMPAIGN OF DECEIT", NOW AT LEAST 9 DECADES, WOULD LOVE NOTHING MORE THAN TO SHUT DOWN A FACT-BASED GROUP THAT LEANS ON VERIFIABLE TRUTH LIKE CPB. SO CAN CPB SUE TRUMP, HIS DOJ, OTHERS FOR LIBEL, SLANDER & DEFAMATION FOR LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY? YES HE HAS NOT AUTHORITY TO FIRE BOARD MEMBERS OR CUT FUNDING. PLUS THEY CORRUPTED THE 2024 ELECTION TO GET INTO POWER. SO THEY CHEATED & ACTUALLY DIDN'T WIN, THEY HAVE NO REAL POWER, PERIOD. ALREADY SENT YOU THAT INFO THAT CAME BACK WITH REFERENCE NUMBER 03002155. WISH VP HARRIS OR SOMEONE WOULD SUE THEM USING THE 4 WAYS THEY CORRUPTED THE ELECTION, WIN, TAKE CONTROL; THEN THEY CAN BE CHARGED WITH THEIR CLIMATE CRIMES. MOST MAGA ARE CLIMATE DENIER & THOSE WHO SUPPORT THEIR CORRUPTION ARE COMPLICIT IN THEIR HORRIFIC "DAMAGE REPORT".

While I continue to watch most of your programming, when it comes to nature programs being negatively affected, it is always due to climate change. Had there been both pros and cons regarding this, no it is always the rhetoric from the left that human interference being the cause of higher temperatures, never are any of the many facts covering if infact global warming is valid, or if is, never are any of the many, many facts and theories provided that shows it is just a earthly reciprocal action. That is when I turn off that programming, and wish that my tax funds are not used to subsidize this totally left leaning factor.
