None of the programming CPB supports interests or benefits me. Why do I have to pay for it? You should transition to an advertisement supported platform instead of using money that could be better used for the betterment of all taxpayers.

YOU ARE TOO BIASED!!! My God, please stop the bias. You are definitely not serving the American People. You are partisan.
Washington Week
I appeal to Yamiche Alcindor to stop beginning her questioning of each week’s guests by saying to them that she is going to “turn to you, so-and-so. Talk to me a little bit about ….” It’s a verbal tic that is both annoyingly repetitive and uses many more words than needed to accomplish the same objectives.
News stories
I was a avid watcher of your programs. But now our sees that you only choose to petal to the left and their radical extremisms. That is not the America we love. Therefore my family and I will no longer watch your stations, programming or contribute to you and yours in any way!!!!
Publicly funded media needs to drop its bias
It is much more important for public media to get defunded than the police. Over the past five years public media has done a nosedive away from positive, culturally improving content, to slimy, bottom of your shoe, dregs of 'I'm offended' devisive content. This shouldn't be rewarded with grants and high paychecks. These 'writers' are a disease.
Defund NPR
We are fed up! NPR does not deserve federal funding. NPR cut down the “Declaration of Independence” and we do NOT trust anything NPR reports. NPR is anti- American and should NOT be getting grants, federal funding or any tax dollar help. We demand defunding of NPR now! Cheryl Thompson
NPR funding
It is long past time to defund NPR. It has had a biased, liberal agenda for years and now outright states such beliefs opening by holding the Declaration of Independence in derision, and at taxpayer expense.

About Your Shows
The most one sided biased news that the American tax payer could ever pay for.
Your news sucks. It is far from objective journalism. I used to love your programming and write my senator often to convey my support for your funding. That will now stop as I am tired of my tax dollars going to a blatantly obvious partisan form of journalism. You have turned into the opinion column. Thanks but no thanks. Get your operating funding from Nancy and Chuck's super pacs and quit stealing my money to indoctrinate my child to your liberal fantasies. Good bye

Hello Corporation for PUBLIC Broadcasting. Your group runs on PUBLIC treasury dollars. That means PUBLIC. NPR allows me to comment. However my comments are blocked from PUBLIC view. Your fringe left wing NPR needs a course correction to fall within your PUBLIC charter rules, established by congress for the PUBLIC. Perhaps it's time to end your PUBLIC charter, since you refuse to follow the LAW established by congress. I will forward this complaint to others, lawmakers. This is what they hide, in violation of your PUBLIC charter, This is the latest fringe left wing NPR hiding stunt: Sometimes a short message is better than a book, but only if the human mind is willing to grasp. Allen West posted this: Happy Juneteenth folks, it’s the day when Blacks in Texas learned that they were free, June 19, 1865 in Galveston. But what does today mean? It’s the day when Blacks found out that the first Republican President had signed the Emancipation Proclamation freeing them from the physical bondage of the Democrat Party. It was two years later, on July 4th 1867, that 150 of those same Black men met in Houston and established the Republican Party of Texas. The Democrats, in response, established the Ku Klux Klan. Today, the Democrats are economically enslaving Blacks and have turned inner city communities into modern plantations of welfare and economic dependence. Juneteenth is a celebration of why the Republican Party was established in 1854, the abolition of slavery. Only a flaming incompetent idiot would give the party of the jackass any credit for Juneteenth.

Are you fair
Do you believe in unbiased reporting , both black and white, this country needs healing, on both sides.
Subjects covered on your Friday Night news report 7:00 - 8:00 EST Exchange Covid death memories for Climate Change issues arou
Since you are discontinuing the Covid - Death Memories time, the Weems, in Brunswick ME., suggest you use that slot to talk about Climate Change issues around the world. Certainly the drought and water issues in our southwest warrant critically important information as do the storms in the southeast, glacier melting in Alaska and the death of salmon in the Northwest. The list is endless. Why aren't tv newscasters talking about this most important issue. Please!!! Susan Weems

Judy asked a question to the CA Democratic Senator using the term "marginally qualified voter" which even a Republican would not use. A voter is either qualified to vote based on an evaluation of their registration application or not. There is nothing marginal except in the eye of a racist who wants someone based on their heritage to have difficulty registering for, and casting a ballot. The Republican states are passing laws that would allow politically appointed boards to throw out ballots as Trump requested for the 2020 election. Federal oversight is necessary.

Fresh Air
I'm calling in after listening in to an hour long program that was so extremely partisan and biased that I couldn't understand how a publicly-funded program could be so partisan and one-sided without offering any challenges to the perspectives they were giving. The program was Fresh Air and the topic was Critical Race Theory. They didn't ask a single person that didn't agree with Critical Race Theory what their position was. They just lambasted everybody that had an opposing view and made them sound like complete morons. If it's going to be a publicly-funded program, then they should offer both sides of the story. I think you guys should look into just how biased NPR is and consider doing something to make it so that both sides of the story are being presented and people can get a fair grasp of the situation and decide for themselves. All of the legacy media is one-sided. It would be nice if radio programs were not the same.
Judy Woodruff
The anodyne and yet self-satisfied comments of Judy Woodruff are about to drive me away from watching the PBS NewsHour. I agree with those who say she must retire. Yamiche Alcindor must practice to slow down and catch her breath. So sad that listening to the NewsHour is getting to be an irritating experience. I like the content.
Programming
I have been thinking about donating to your pbs station but I've decided not to! I cannot donate to a station that promotes things that I don't think should be shoved down our throats! I don't care for or appreciate what you air! Even if I donated you would still air this crap! My money will NOT go towards the gay community or trans people! I'm appalled that you use people's money for this type of programming! Because of your programming and others programming you're making this look like it's okay when it's not! We don't want to see this crap and you along with other stations are shoving this crap down our throats! We are sick of hearing and seeing crap about this! You need to get back to the programming you're known for... good! You're showing crap and I'll never donate to you unless you change your programming!
Commercials are increasing on NPR.
I have noticed over the last three years that "words from out sponsors" (which I translate as "commercials") have increased to degree that is very irritating, distracting. I send in donations to my local NPR station KPCC twice a year to make sure programming continues for the "public," not commercial interests. With more commercials on all the NPR programs I Iisten to I am concerned that business interests will influence programming. The public deserves better. Was not the creation of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to provide commercial free broadcasting to the public or has that been sidetracked? Please ensure that all public broadcasting is focused on the public.
Thank you for your time, attention, funding, and overseeing public broadcasting.
P.S. I was not able to find a way to contact the Ombudsman.
