My comment or question is, will the Corporation for the Public Broadcasting continue taking taxpayer money to hide the truth from the American people of the fraud of the election. If you hate our country so much why do you take our money? Why don't you tell the truth?

Unacceptable Government Sponsored Rcism
I was extremely offended by a segment on Amanpur this week in which Christine sat there with a smirk on her face while a guest REPEATEDLY spoke about how "White Males" think, act, and should be treated. This constituted a blatant act of government sponsored racism. This will NOT be forgotten unless it is addressed immediately and in such a way that it could never possibly happen again. Think of the effect it has on the white males in your employ and the fact that children witnessed this. You should be ashamed of youreselves unless you terminate the program and publicly state the reason was blatant racism.
PBS programs over the years
I have been watching PBS including the Masterpiece Theater offerings for many years. I'll tell you one reason British TV does so well here: It's because UK productions are done so excellently and imaginatively. The British have a long history of excellent literature and theater--and it shows. I often sit in awe of the productions and the quality of British dramatics. The culture here in the U.S. has not for quite some time lent itself to the quality of our productions compared to that which we are lucky to receive from the literary/drama traditions of Britain. (Just a note: I am probably the only person in the world who would have preferred Mr. Cumberbatch performing the "Sherlock" of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I didn't enjoy a surreal "Sherlock" at all. You should have made up a character of your own, not stealing the name "Sherlock" and, instead, come up with your own character name. For me, it was a cheap shot! And god help us if you do the same thing to Agatha Christie characters. Unfortunately, the generations probably since Vietnam or even Korea and The Beatles and R & R have been left without any taste for the classics and don't know any better). Thank heavens I lived in the era of wonderful Hollywood (and foreign film era), and radio, based many of their stories on British stories and very often starred British actors. e.g. Charles Laughton, C. Aubrey Smith, Cary Grant, Vivien Leigh, Maureen O'Hara, Merle Oberon, Laurence Olivier, John Gielgud, Ralph Richardson, Clare Bloom, Helen Mirren, Geraldine Fitzgerald [was she British?]) I respect and enjoy thoroughly the classics, as well as current offerings IF they're good. However, the classics today barely exist: Shakespeare? Walter Scott? Brontes? Austen? Stevenson? Beethoven? Gregorian Chant, De Lassus? Hayden? Mozart? Stravinsky? Ravel? Schubert?--and in television: "I Claudius", "Prime Suspect", and many others. I have repeatedly appealed to KOCE to rerun "Prime Suspect." Its theme, its plot is totally current. But they just don't do it. "I Claudius" definitely should be rerun. You'll never equal the 1st production if you make a new one. The actors and the mindsets today just aren't in the right ballpark. "Victoria"? Sure. It will become a classic. Also, the most recent "Forsyth Saga" (Forsyte?) may become a classic. But, you, too, have no interest in your Masterpiece productions that have become classics (I'm not saying that all are, but some ARE). I suppose that you like to get more money to produce new work and support current writers, directors, actors, etc. Too bad, it appears that the classics are disappearing off the shelves and racks. By the way, KOCE has the most disturbing clanging sound that is increased, electric guitars(?), during program breaks. I don't know why they keep it. It's particularly unpleasant after an important or moving program. They should get rid of it. Otherwise, it's a pretty good station, but then, all the PBS stations are.
Unequal news coverage
Dear CPB, I was once a big fan of your news program...not any more. I live near Chicago and watches the 7pm local news every night. In recent months, all the local news are dedicated to some racial groups and there is almost no coverage on Asian American community. I feel completely left out as Asian American. And I guess some people from other ethnic groups feel the same way. This is exactly why America becomes more and more divided- media fueled the division by unequal coverage. The correct path to racial equality is to treat everyone equally with the same amount of respect, but not favoring one over another. You as a government sponsored media should be more conscious than a private media outlet. In addition, your news programs become no less biased than CNN and Fox. The news hosts and guests are emotional and opinionated, making the program look like realIty show. I am no Trump supporter. Actually I am relieved to see him go. But I think you have got two things wrong: 1) not all people who voted for him are loyal to him - it is simply because Biden’s polices may cause more harm to them. 2) many people who vote for Biden not because they agree with everything on the leftists’ agenda - it is simply because they don’t like DT. If you don’t stop unequal news coverage and keep inviting biased guests to the news program, you will drive more and more audience away. And then you wonder why so many people fall for fake news? Because of you!!!! I used to donate to you every year, but this year I decide to give the money to WHO to help the poor countries buy COVID vaccines.

NC Spin vs Gospel Music
We were shocked when we heard it was the last week of NC Spin, a great take on NC politics. Then, when perusing pBS looking for something to watch we came across the gospel music and bluegrass music programs. NC has grown up a lot in the last few years but you are living in the past. Church attendance is way down and I would be very surprised to find people are truly interested in church music. The same with bluegrass which is enjoyed by a select few. We were just about to give more monthly. Ugh.
PBS Newshour. Judy must retire.
I watch PBS Newshour live with your new live feature on APP on Apple TV. My husband walks in, and says oh no live. I can’t fast forward through Judy Judy Judy. Please help her retire, ease her into it.
Scarlet and the Duke
I was looking forward to watching the new Masterpiece program, “Scarlet and the Duke” but it was broadcast with a verbal overlay for the blind. That made it unwatchable for me. Why the verbal overlay? Doesn’t make me happy about being a new subscriber.

Please can Judy Woodruff provide more in-depth reporting about the planned continued insurection that will manifest in armed attacks on every capitol in all fifty states. A l s o : Recently, our Governor Enslee have the front gates of the Governor's Masion destroyed by pro-Trump cult members who came on the property and did a little riot rehearsal before Police quickly broke them up. Are these thugs even attacking small venues? Anne Williams
Why is Fake News So Effective
I am a Massachusetts educator, and I was impressed by the online assignment, "Why is Fake News So Effective?" This topic was broken down in a manner which reached different types of learners. The images and interactives really kept my students engaged. I also appreciate the final assessment, which nicely drew on a culmination of skills that the student built from the previous segments in the assignment.
I wanted to know if the maker of this online interactive has other interactives of this nature. I appreciate the manner in which students can work on topics, save information, and see a folder of their work. I also think that this is extremely helpful for educators, as they are able to conveniently aggregate and grade students' data. If you can please assist me with this, that would be great!
Sincerely,
Robert Fitzgerald Norton High School, Massachusetts

Yamiche Alcindor
It is very important that you look at Yamiche Alcindor. She is biased. She starting to talk completely with her hands. She needs to be fired.
Virus safety
I’m watching PBS 3:37. 12/23/2020 News break gave ways to prevent the spread of covid, it was shown to wash hands and social distances but NO MENTION OF WEARING A MASK!!!!! Why no mention of wearing a mask
Programming
I believe in public Television. We’ve contributed in the past. However lately your programming is really bad, All this dark and hopeless murder garbage, one after the other! Incredibly depressing. Then there are these pointless repetitive series that disappear after 3 episodes because they don’t get traction. How many times in a row can you show the same Father Brown? As a musician, I have to say you ignore jazz and more serious and modern forms of music. Austin City Limits has become laughable. Lawrence Welk, really? Every time you want money you show the same tired old rock and soul over and over again. Now you’re pushing these idiot new age gurus which are ridiculous. I guess yet another excuse for showing Downton Abbey is coming right? You need to modernize and live up to the values you claim to have. At the moment I’m finding less reason to watch you.

Dear Mark Shields,
You will be missed, your voice, your thoughts, the twinkle in your eyes.

Mark Shields’ final appearance on the News Hour
Dear Mr. Shields, I cannot describe how sad I am , having heard you are leaving the News Hour. I don’t know how many years I have followed you, but they have been fulfilling in a joyous way. First, you remind me of my beloved Dad because you share a strong resemblance; secondly, your analysis is continuously spot on, in my opinion. Thank you so much for sharing your able observations of our political challenges over these decades. My deepest respect, Geraldine Lash
