Additionally, comments pertaining to programming are shared with the CPB Board of Directors and relevant public media staff.

General programing

Feedback:

I do not listen much to NPR, but when I do, I always wonder why you as a corporation, lean so far left! Most legitimate news organizations give both sides of any given subject, and let the listeners choose how They feel and who/what they support! Federal money (my tax dollars) should not fund a fully left leaning organization!

bias

South Carolina
Feedback:

Its obvious that mainstream media including NEWSHOUR is attempting to drive down President Trump's approval rating with bias reporting. President Trump has not been found guilty of any crime. WE THE PEOPLE stand by our president, unlike NEWSHOUR, and will win the election.

PBS Kids

Feedback:

Hello, I am not sure you are the correct department to ask but I have hopes that you will forward to appropriate staff. I am writing to ask you to make the PBS kids app available on Roku Canada. I purchased a Roku thinking I could access shows like Arthur, Daniel Tiger and Sesame Street only to be told it’s not available in our region. Roku suggested I ask you to consider making the app available here. My children love the shows and I would love to be able to easily access them. Thank you for your time, Karmen Douglas

So sick of Judy and her bias reporting...last night giving Hillary a free window and add, never mentioning Bill, or her poor performance as Sect. Of State and all the crimes was insulting to the viewer no matter their political views..I am not going to watch PBS “news” or Miss Judy, who is so carried away with her own agenda again.

evening programming

New York
Feedback:

I don 't understand how you can solicit donations and then serve up reruns of very mediocre British mysteries! What happened to the excellent series such as Chief Inspector Morse or Branaugh's Swedish detective, Wallander? Does it all have to be so lightweight along with already broadcast?! I'm one who would love to watch an hour or two of an excellent, adult drama every night of the week. Is it too much to ask? What gives?

The classic Sherlock Holmes was excellent (I don't like the new postmodernist version --ugh) So was that female police duo: Scott and Bailey Prime Suspect was excellent Vera is generally good Unforgotten was good Foyle's War was worth watching Even Ms Marple had a lot going for it.

But Father Brown, Miss Fischer, Midsummer Night Murders, Bletchley Circle, are all very lightweight.

I thought you wanted to be the channel for college graduates with intellectually substantial programming. This ain't it!

PBS NewsHour

August 29, 2019
Feedback:

My name is xx, and I live in Washington, DC. I was watching Judy Woodruff regarding her segment with Mr. Cucinnelli about immigration for children born of American parents outside of the country. I was shocked and offended for the content and her position on this, not letting Mr. Cucinnelli verify and explain this new legislation. I am this person that she defined as being helpless and unable to come to this country to participate, that would need handouts at every single corner. I was so disgusting because every point that he countered for her, she didn't want to hear. I was born in Canada. My parents were Americans working outside of the US. Never, at any time, did myself or my siblings expect handouts, welfare, be given this opportunity to come to this country and loathe. We were so honored to come to this country, participate in this economy, and pursue our goals and dreams. I am disgusted by Judy Woodruff.

Newshour's Shields and Brooks segment, August 30, 2019, RWNJ talking points

Oregon
Feedback:

One of these men allegedly is "left of center," yet they both were spewing right-wing-nut-job talking points, pooh-pooh-ing the fact that Drumpf has, in fact, committed innumerable "high crimes and misdemeanors." Just because the M$M (mainstream media) is terrified of being attacked by the Drumpf's cult members who think all media but FOX is liberal doesn't mean that impeachment isn't the RIGHT goddamn thing to do.

I am ashamed for both Shields and Brooks. They're not erudite commentators, they're scared little boys who have served Drumpf's propaganda goals very well.

I just want to give you a big thank you for supporting PBS Kids. Coming from a mom with little education and from a country in South America. I have two little kids that are three and six. These are the TV shows that they watch every day and because of you guys, they can have access to these educational TV shows. I am a stay at home mom with an autoimmune condition. I do not work and I can not afford TV cable. They learn a lot from your programs, so I wanted to say a big thank you from our family. 

Thank you, Judy Woodruff!

Thank you for your courage in interviewing Gen. Mattis! You didn't back down in the face of his reticence and cowardice. We felt like you stood up for America even though he did not have the courage to do so.
