We have watched Nebraska Educational Television for forty years. PBS NewsHour also for a long time. We have noticed Judy Woodruff and her guests have nothing good to say about our President of the United States of America. Even David Brooks and Mark Shields now took opposite views - it is only one-sided now - all the guests do not say any good about our President. We really believe Trump is trying to make America Great. If the news media would have more great stories I believe would not incite riots, racism, suicides and mass shootings. The news is upsetting; even the local TV stations report one sensationalist story after another - surely there is more good than bad things to report. Does the news incite bad behavior, is it money, are they paid to do this? We would like political wisdom and not political views.

2/28: tonight's Shields and Brooks
Mark offered that during this week's debate in SC that the only candidates on stage that remained calm and in control were two guys. (Buttigieg and Bloomberg) Though I don't own the in control meter, my take is that Klobuchar remained calm and in control. To leave her out plays into a gender bias which is beneath the typical reporting behaviors of these men. I hope you will do more than provide a bot reply. Thanks
Outrageous biased program today
I listen to NPR frequently in my morning drives, especially between 10am and noon. I'm a Vietnam combat veteran with service connected disabilities and was honored to be the first Vietnam Veteran to honored on Honor Flight-Syracuse, (April, 2014). John McCain called NPR "radio Hanoi". Now I know why, Your show today that I heard only from 11:30 to noon was like a Democratic fund raiser, and instructions on how to unseat Republican Senators. If you get one dollar of public funding it is outrageous. I'm looking into this.
PBS News Hour
I have written to the PBS Public Editor several times about routine violations of PBS' Editorial Standards in it's political coverage. I'm not asking you for comment on merits of these concerns but want to know what recourse is available if the Public Editor doesn't even respond to my correspondence.
PBS NewsHour
Hello, I'm calling to complain about Judy Woodruff and how she's so pro-Republican. I'm neither. I'm an independent. I'm so tired of her cuddling up to Kellyanne Conway. I'm not going to watch your show anymore and I'm contributing to it. I am not paying what I agreed to because of her.
So biased
I can't listen to Mark Shields. He is so biased. He makes no mention how the Democrats conducted the investigation- not calling witnesses nor allowing Republications to participate in the investigative hearings. Schiff allowed no cross examination of witnesses in the committee. Shield could care less about due process. Frankly, I could care less about his opinions because he just a silly ideologue. At what point do these people forsake objectivity and integrity? Gross negligence.
PBS NewsHour
When the NewsHour talks about debates, they always put up the Democratic candidates who are still in the running and they put up President Trump. They omit Bill Wield and Joe Walsh. They are running as well and they need to be up there pictorially.
PBS NewsHour
I've never made a complaint before and I've been watching PBS NewsHour since I was in junior high school when it was Jim Lehrer NewsHour. Tonight I felt that the reporting, the segment on Trump's plan for peace in the Middle East, was antisemitic and anti-Israeli. I'm not a Trump supporter, but I felt that the anchor that was substituting for Judy Woodruff was using her role as a bully pulpit. I do hope that PBS News issues and apology and never makes that mistake.
Schedule changes
I just want to report my displeasure with the schedule changes made last week, especially removing Studio 360 from the weekend lineup and replacing Here and Now with 1A. It's very frustrating and disappointing.
PBS Newshour
Yamiche Alcindor. Please. She's not up to it. I've gotten to the point where I mute her when she's speaking. Please. Do something.
Border wall
Yamiche constantly omits truth to change context. Tonight it’s the border wall is falling over in winds. . Wow. It’s almost as if she wants to mislead her audience and keep the fact that the cement wasn’t dry yet at the time. Because she did that very thing.
BBC Technical Issues
The BBC feed has not come through. I'm just calling because this is not an unusual situation. It goes on and on and no one checks it at the top of the hour. It would seem like you would be concerned about this for your news watching public.
Sit and Be Fit
I want to leave a comment recommending that you continue working with Sit and Be Fit, Mary Ann Wilson's program. It's a wonderful help to so many people with overall health and neurological problems and lymphatic health and I really encourage you to keep working with them and airing then.
Debate background
Your moving background on the Democratic Debate is incredibly awful. It's distracting and it is giving me a headache. It's the worst.

Hello. I am writing to ask that you contact our local DAYTONA STATE COLLEGE, here in Daytona Beach, Florida and afford them some of your on air programming. Their antenna broadcast station channel 15.3 Worldview programming will cease this February 2020. Are you able to offer them your rights to broadcast some of your holdings/programs such as the American Experience, Reading Rainbow, Great Performances, Sesame Street, 3-2-1 Contact and the like in those genres ? Understand that the PBS stations from UCF are not viewable in this area. As we are not familiar with the rights for certain broadcast programs, am asking that you contact Mr. Larry Lowe at DSC 386-506-3508 and offer this station programs that we the retired viewing audience can watch. Know that we are and have been local residents who enjoy entertaining programs via antenna, and we are asking for your assistance in providing our local educational station with programs that are not currently available to them for broadcast. Thank You for your courtesy in achieving this goal. We do not want to lose our channel, and know you can provide programs for local viewers. Respectfully, Doc
PBS NewsHour
I'm calling because I just watched the Brooks and Shields segment on the NewsHour about the assignation of Suleiman, the Iranian general. I'm really dismayed at the apparent sanction of the American government assassinate people without taking the proper consideration. I think it's really dangerous. They made it sound like this was an okay thing. We're on the brink of disaster, potential catastrophic disaster, walking into another war like Iraq. It is irresponsible of PBS and the NewsHour to let these guys come on the air and not give thorough, unbiased opinions on these things.
PBS NewsHour
I just watched Mark Shields on the PBS NewsHour and he made some statements that I thought were very insulting and incorrect. He said that the United States has relied on Europe since the ending of World War Two. I guess it is pertaining to Trump not letting Europeans know that he was going to knock out that Iranian general who had a bad track record. Mr. Shields really should know it's been Europe that has been relying on the United States since World War Two. They spend one percent of the economic prosperity on their defense. We've been defending their asses since the end of World War Two. They have free health care, five weeks vacation, retire when they're sixty. All because the United States has been defending them. Mr. Shields really needs to get his facts together. It was insulting to anyone with a high school degree or higher to listen to what he had to say. It was obvious that he did not like Donald Trump, like everyone else at PBS. Get used to it. He's going to be the next President, again. Thank you for taking my comments.
Public TV programming
Claims of a diverse media is not accurate. The shows are mostly white orientated. The black talk shows, topic, complaints and discussion are no ware to be found on Public TV. Most of the black actors are being shown as criminals in movies as well as on news Broadcasting. The public media is showing pregidous actions in there programming and it appears to be a premeditated, sinikely established conspiracy against the male African decendants.
Frontline- Presidents
I think it is unfortunate that you did not include Judicial Watch in your hour about pres. Trump. You highlighted press from NY Times and Washington Post- those who promoted the Fake dossier- about Russia & the President. Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, Comey, Mueller, McCabe, Etal knew about the coup cabal and continued to pilfer tax payer monies to pursue this..Please go to www.judicialwatch.org for the truth.
News hour
I can’t believe Judy woddruff closing comment about the brief but spectacular segment tonight on pain and forgiveness was simply “wow what a remarkable story”. She should have said Wow what a remarkable WOMAN!!! Very very sad remark Judy!!!!
