I wish more Fox, Newsmax, and other media outlets’ viewers would watch truthful and useful news as presented by your well-balanced and professional staff. But it will take Trump’s jailing along with his henchmen, and their acolytes dismissed from power, to truly open their minds. Too much to hope for?

PUBLIC BROADCAST

California
Feedback:

I am a supporter of public broadcast!! What is the price for " free voices and free press? The price cannot be compared! Many have lost their lives, getting the news to the people. WHAT type of democracy is there, without free press!!! This Nation and World would cease to exist!! NEWS is vital to all concerned, irregardless, country, and it inhabitants!

LET US STOP, this ANARCHY!!! We, are a "Free People and Nation!" Many, a news correspondent have died getting, the Nations news. Let, those you believe in the " FREEDOM of the PRESS" whatever the media, "TAKE A STAND " for free press.

What happened to KUEN? I live in St. George, across from Webb Hill, and watch TV over the air. I have scanned my TV, but channel 9 KUEN has disappeared. It has not aired in almost 1 week. Is this a problem that will be resolved, or have I lost this station forever? Janie G****n

The audio for PBS Newshour is poor. The frequency range is similar to the narrow smothered sound of A.M radio. Why not EQ and improve the sound quality?

Excluding a Recognized Candidate in a PBS Forum

Illinois
Feedback:

Hello.

It is unfortunate that I am forced to write this correspondence today because I usually tell anyone who would listen to me that, PBS literally changed my life as a child.

However, being that I am legally on the ballot and also a publicly touted candidate for the Illinois Secretary of State, and was excluded from the WTTW Chicago candidate forum last week, has changed my life and not in the way it did when I was younger.

WTTW Chicago television station is partially funded by government monies and also from public funds, from honorable people like myself. Your Producers, picking and choosing which candidates will appear on a forum and which ones won't is not in the spirit of being a "open, transparent company" that is supposed to serve the public interest. Clearly, last nights candidate forum you served no one except the two party system.

I have contacted my attorney and we are now in the process pf exploring any legal options we have in response to your stations purposeful oversight.

I hope you and WTTW responds to this email in a way that satisfies my party, the public at large and convinces me to drop legal action.

Respectfully submitted,

Jon Stewart Libertarian Candidate for the Illinois Secretary of State

Pinkalicious "The New Girl"

Alabama
Feedback:
My daughter is four years old and loves to watch Pinkalicious. This morning she was watching "The New Girl" episode. A new family moves to town and its two men and a little girl. The man introduces his "husband" to Pinkalicious' family. I am so upset that this lifestyle was introduced to my preschooler with no parental warning or rating etc. I would not have let her watch the episode if I had of known that material was in there. It is not the job of APT or PBS to decide when my child gets introduced to homosexuality. And frankly in my opinion it should not be in preschoolers programming. They are very impressionable at this age and a certain agenda or lifestyle should not be made to seem okay thru a familiar children's program they love to watch. Something should be done about this! I see your organization helps fund the programming. Could there at least if nothing else parental warnings be put in place so parents wont be caught off guard that dont want their children watching episodes containing this subject matter? Thank you

America and the Holocat

Utah
Feedback:
Per the expected from Mr Burns et al, this is a superb production. Sadly many of the people who should see it won’t. This is compounded by the six hour length of the series which disengages the marginally interested. A 90 minute version promoted as an introduction to the Holocaust might generate greater viewership particularly among those with little familiarity with the subject.

WW2 Obsession for Fundraising

Oregon
Feedback:
If it's not bad enough for all the other main broadcasting networks/channel's stations to do all episodes, even changing which shows, so they are all WWII &/or nazi based/mentioning episodes for 5 months straight UNTIL something else (like a certain celebrity dies or certain holiday that locals that run the station give a or too much fabout) happens... then right back to same theme for the past year (year or 2 before it was all religious &/or all christian story/based episodes of all those shows). Now PBS is showing 4 or 5 hours straight of holocaust ALL WEEK?! Whotf would want to fund because they're watching that kind of c***? Before it was 10 or even 15 year old things likely everyone that had seen any of the fund raising knew/remembered seeing that before or even donating some to help in past decades but why would watching more of WW2 make them think "people will pay us/donate if we show them MORE of the holocaust/deaths/nazi-themed shows they've been "watching" for the past year or 2"? Only thing worst would be if they thought everyone wants to become christian (or another religion) again & only watch that themed shows on it (again).... oh &/or if it was all voting commercials like on the other broadcast channels. Yeah people see/read the news not everyone wants to see more of it all day/night to the point they would pay PBS to see it (there are other cable/satellite channels that would/do show that instead that could cost them less). Does PBS/OPB have no clue how long OTHER wars in OTHER countries/areas of the world have been going on &/or still happening? LOL Just as bad as the basic public school system. If "you" are going to show 1 themed thing for weeks/months at least show DIFFERENT shows/episodes & different angles of it like the nature-themed and some music-themed fund raising was. Last time I watched or saw a World war 1 &/or 2 show on was when it was actually near ONE holiday that was about it not EVERY holiday that was war/military(or christian) based. It's like a medical news story becomes trending then instead of showing shows & episodes viewers would want to see they replace them with barely related medical or medical mentioning episodes. Why not have episodes of smoke/ashes & fires for 10 years? LOL Those also human caused events have been happening for a long time too(I'm surprised the other broadcast networks/channels don't show fire/smoke, NOT cig or drug/substance smoking which they have instead in the past, based shows all the time). Nice to not see the same 2 or 3 book &/or DVD 5 or10 or 15 year old based themes, but replacing them with depressing WW2 based theme/s? Really?

Linda Carducci

Virginia
Feedback:
She is wonderful! We love waking up to her voice on weekdays & always look forward to her Classical Sunrise. She plays a wide range of classical pieces and educates at the same time. Very rewarding to listen. No “same old chestnuts”. Deeply appreciated. When there’s a substitute we definitely miss her. Wish she wasn’t away so often but can imagine getting up at o’dark thirty every day must be exhausting. Thank you, WETA for bringing Linda Carducci to your station & giving her the early weekday morning time slot.

I once trusted you to deliver unbiased and truthful news but that is no longer the case. This type of journalism is taking America in a direction of doom. While each of you may think you are right, when this mission of yours and elitists is complete you will be able to understand the error if your ways, but it will be too late. God save us.

Cult comparisons - MagaRepublicans & People's Temple - similarities are there, let's side by side compare them

Massachusetts
Feedback:
Jim Jones & Donald Trump have such similarities (from the documentary film on Jim Jones) if that documentary had any truth at all. It isn't hard to recognize the pattern. Approaching the MAGA Republicans with that exposure is only fair and required to reveal the mindset of cult figures milk their sycophants, and fans. That is exactly how the religious group worked against their own self interest and drank that kool-aid. It is kind for media to identify the peril as real, and recurring under the leaders thrilled to be followed! It's an illness. Exposure is patriotism!

Absence of Covering President Biden Address on September 1, 2022

Maryland
Feedback:
I am a long term supporter of PBS. I was shocked that public broadcasting did not show President Biden address to the nation yesterday. The decision not to show the President's remarks was a disservice to many people who don't have cable and to the nation as well. I don't contribute to PBS to be uninformed.

Pledge drive

Massachusetts
Feedback:

Donated during a pledge drive many many many months ago. The pledge gift of a glass bowl never showed up, despite my two follow up phone calls. It was to be a birthday gift from my husband to me. I’m older, no bowl. Not a good way to run a railroad! Very disappointed. Not planning to donate again.
