I sincerely want to know why people who run for offices in congress are not vetted at any point when they are running for office, especially the President. How can we even begin to clean up the toxicity in Washington if we do not Vet who is wanting these positions? If we the people have any hope for a continued democracy, this is mandatory and yet for some reason it is not. This sadly is how vacant human beings with no grasp of moral perpetuity become monsters, grifting America under the disguise of patriotism. Please help me and the rest of this nation understand why we have failed in making sure this thoughtlessness does not continue. Sincerely Brenda McLaughlin

PBS news hour Judy Woodruff
Please Share with Mark Shields
I hope you can pass this along to Mark Shields.
Dear Mr. Shields,
Over the last few years my wife and I have cherished our Friday nights (or Saturday morning via DVR) with you and David Brooks. She works in corporate PR and I am a former congressional staffer. Congratulations on your retirement and thank you for all of your wisdom and insight. We've so enjoyed your intellect and humor. I look forward to seeing you again on PBS.

PBS Passport
How are you legally charging for a PBS Passport to watch programming my tax dollars pay for? I'd like to give PBS an opportunity to answer this question before I take it to my state representative.
The News Hour
Like so many, the retirement of Mark Shields has been a tremendous loss for me, and although I know his age and it is time to seek peace and tranquility, I think David summed it up for so many of us in his eloquent piece in the NYT. His great ability to zero in on critical issues, yet remain civil and polite, as David said a rare ability in today's news. Stay well old friend, for I will always think of you "as my friend" and you leave your legacy in good hands with David Brooks, and Judy Woodruff, and all the PBS crew.

Hunter Biden Emails
I'm calling because I'm so disturbed, after being a very loyal listener to NPR, that you are not doing anything to discuss the Hunter Biden email controversy. You are completely ignoring it and acting like it doesn't exist. I'm quite disgusted by your bias. I would like to complain that I don't want my tax dollars to your Corporation any longer. I think it is just so un-American of you to be this biased and I'm really disgusted. I couldn't help but share my feelings and thoughts.
yamiche Alcindor
This reporter, who is one of the Newshour's featured, speaks so fast she is impossible to hear. Such speed trivializes the content.
PBS NewsHour
I would like to give kuddos to Judy Woodruff, who spoke all of those names and lives with such love and caring. She is a fine journalist.
Hunter Biden Emails
I want to let you know that I have been a contributor for years and this is the straw that broke the camel's back - the disregard unbiased news stories, especially with the Hunter Biden issue and lack of support for the President. I will not be donating any longer to PBS. There are a lot of good programs, especially for my grandson. However, I can't continue to support an organization with such biased accountability. You have lost a loyal supporter and I will encourage others to do the same, and actually look toward defunding the organization. This is absolutely ridiculous. There needs to be accountability in your real, whatever that may be. I will continue to pursue that.
PBS Programming
I'm calling from Minneapolis and I really do enjoy PBS shows and entertainment. I wait for Saturday night, especially during the pandemic, to watch the programming. I am really not happy about seeing more political nonsense on the television on Saturday night. Give it a break. Put it on some other time but don't put it on Saturday night. I'm not going to watch it. I'm very disappointed in how PBS makes that call to do that. Your viewers are not happy. Take it to heart. We are not happy. I could go on again about the political issue but I choose not to do that and you should choose not to put it on Saturday night or anytime until the whole thing is totally examined and we have the right President in there rather than what we're going through. Again, keep the political nonsense off Saturday night.
PBS
I hope this is PBS. I just wanted to mention that I will never watch your station. I feel that your reporting was biased and I also felt that you were trying to make the news rather than report the news. Unbelievable that I've been watching you all these years. Maybe I have not been getting the proper news. I'm done with PBS. And your radio stations are included. They're horrible. They do exactly the same thing. I'm finished.
Hunter Biden Emails
You can either report on Hunter Biden and the corrupt Biden family or I will fight like hell to make sure that all government funding stops going to your left-wing organization. You're not journalists. You are in the fact that you're a loudspeaker for the leftist-Democratic party. I'm just leaving you a warning that me and many of my fellow Conservatives will make sure that you are defunded and put out of business.
PBS YouTube
Why does PBS on Youtube most times turn off their comments section. Why do most people who work for PBS show and affinity for democrats. I have watched many of your news shows and it always seems you turn off comments and then spout democratic rhetoric. I am sorry but i pay a bunch in taxes and i am curious why you use our tax dollars to belittle or under mind any conservative frame of mind.
I am going to do my best to see what i can do to have the ACT President Johnson signed and the appropriations given to CPB withdrawn or lowered. I do not see why you need hundreds of millions of dollars of our tax money to tell use how good the democrats are.
PBS NewsHour
I am absolutely disappointed in PBS NewsHour and in their reporting, specifically Amiche Alcindor. Fairly regularly now, she will say to Judy, "Judy, people are saying" or "according to critics." Those are not news sources. Those are opinions that she is dressing up as they are real news. It is absolutely disgusting to me to see what used to be a prominent news program resort to things of that nature - "people are saying" and "according to critics." That is not news. That is someone's opinion that they have dressed up as some official source. It just goes regularly un-commented on. I've seen some of the bumper statistics that you do, it will say "96% of this is this," with no attribution to the statistic. Judy Woodruff herself has resorted to opinion. That is why people want to defund PBS. It is so stilted to the left it is unbelievable. As someone who was on the left, with the last Hillary debacle and the current debacle, I've registered as an Independent. This is so unbalanced now that it is unbelievable and undeniable. I'm seeing how stilted it is to the left. The identity politics, especially from people of privilege. I'm tuning out. I don't trust the PBS NewsHour anymore.
Hunter Biden Emails
I have been an NPR listener for years. Unless you start covering Hunter Biden and the information coming out concerning the Bidens, I will listen to you or donate to you again. How dare you cut out the news.
News Report on over policing of teen
I am concerned about what message your co-host Tony D. Intended (at the conclusion of the report on the arrest of a Black teen) when he tossed his ink pen onto the desk.
