Leftist programing

My husband and I are appalled that you are using children's shows to push socialism and leftist information. The riots in Portland have ruined a once beautiful city. We are offended that anyone thinks this is ok! We are canceling our membership to OPB PBS.

global heating and nature programs

Feedback:

I'm appalled at the continuing head in the sand airing of Nature Programs that project an all is well attitude concerning the state of the natural world. The most recent knowledge that 67% of vertebrates are gone in the last 50 years is an emergency! Please stop minimizing the truth.

PBS News Hour

North Carolina
Feedback:

I love PBS, but News Hour needs to stop leaning to the left and get it to the center. I'll give one example from yesterdays program, when talking about the presidents response to the protesters that were shout by that young man they said he shot the protesters but failed to mention that they were attacking him and said the president was defending the action, but he said it was under investigation. The people need to hear both sides. If they are unable to do that, then PBS should have their funding taken away. As it stands now, News Hour is a waste of tax payer dollars. Just so you know, I voted for Clinton the last election and I'm leaning towards Biden for the up coming election.

Replace Judy Woodruff

Utah
Feedback:

I realize Ms Woodruff has had a long and illustrative career... but the operative words are "has had". She is not sharp, she stutters and she is unable to quickly adjust when her guests take her off topic. She's not an investigative reporter and worse, she's a lackluster anchor who clearly stutters when reading the teleprompter. Ms. Woodruff should be moved off air. I am over 60 and I'm embarrassed for her. She should focus on features that do not require her to be hard hitting . Even i know when it's time to move one. If you are catering to the over-60 crowd, the PBS News Hour is going to die slow death w/ her and your audience. I personally am about to move back to network, or worse cable.

PBS Newshour/Judy Woodruff

California
Feedback:

For many years I had appreciated the professionalism of The PBS Newshour management and staff. Both McNeil and Jim Lehrer had an uncanny ability to facilitate the contrasting or opposing views of their numerous expert analysts. Unfortunately, those days are long gone. The managing editor Ms. Judy Woodruff does not particularly care to host much in the way of contrasting/opposing perspectives either as expert analysts or as her correspondents. There are other reasons why the PBS Newshour has deteriorated in quality. I do not have time to go into detail. The following staff are a detriment to the program and should be replaced:

Ms. Judy Woodruff: She worked with McNeil and Lehrer and was very familiar with the objective philosophy prevalent at PBS at The Newshour. Apparently she has elected to change horses in mid-stream to a highly partisan one sided and bigoted production exemplified by her poor choice of correspondents, specifically:

Lisa DesJardin- Her family has donated how much money to CPB and PBS. Partisan Correspondent with poor journalistic skills.

Y. Alcindor-Partisan Correspondent with poor journalistic skills.

Shields and Brooks- Obsolete Editorials Infuriatingly one sided partisan, lacks fairness and objectivity.

The only one who does a good job consistently in Miles O' Brien. He should be made interim Managing Editor. Let Woodruff stay under the condition she goes back to the way she interviewed during the time of The McNeil Lehrer Newshour and replace all of the rest

British historian A. J. P. Taylor wrote: "He [David Lloyd George] was the most inspired and creative British statesman of the twentieth century. But he had fatal flaws. He was devious and unscrupulous in his methods. He aroused every feeling except trust. In all his greatest acts, there was an element of self-seeking. Above all, he lacked stability. He tied himself to no man, to no party, to no single cause. Baldwin was right to fear that Lloyd George would destroy the Conservative Party, …."

As a Cuban refugee

Florida
Feedback:

When I was 19 years old and in college, I, a Cuban young woman (nacida y criada en Cuba) who prided herself on speaking Americanized English, worked at a college library to put myself through college (something that most college kids refuse to do nowadays). The college librarian one day said to me, "Would you mind calling Miami for me? I hate having to call down there. They can barely speak English." She didn't know I had been born in Cuba.

In typical "PBS leftist belief," that comment would have been considered a crime that terminally injured my "feelings," and therefore perfect for StoryCorps or some anti-American documentary geared to "explain" how evil America and its people are to minorities.

Please know that when the librarian said that to me, I agreed with her 100%! Refugees to any country should be legal, but not only that. They should also never refuse learning and education, and in particular should never ignore (or refuse to learn) the language of the country that offered them safety.

PBS does minorities no favors by encouraging or excusing their flaws, or by disabusing others of the idea that they should be expected to excel.

A few days ago I decided to return to PBS for a few days to watch your current programs, and I found that except for the English programs from the BBC, more than 50% of what you air, are anti-American programs. It's the reason I had ceased watching PBS altogether and discourage others from watching it.

Thank God I ignored your leftist beliefs back then. If I hadn't, I might have today been rioting for nothing other than manufactured mainstream media racism.

Thank you for listening. Hopefully, you will listen to those of us who are refugees, and believe that Communism and Socialism are evils that destroy countries, and who believe in promoting excellence rather than excusing mediocrity and blaming the U.S.

Could you political coverage of the Republican Convention be any more biased? You're supposed to report the news. You're a taxpayer funded organization, yet you're a mouth for the Democratic scumbag party. All you people are disgusting. It's disgusting to sit her and listen to you. I demand you return all taxpayer funds. You disgusting human beings. You're not even human beings. That would be a compliment. My god you people are sick.

Newshour

New York
Feedback:

I so strongly disagree with comments purporting to find Yamiche Alcindor and others on your team as leftist. She is a reporter who bends over backwards to serve her profession. Judy Woodruff is the epitome of professionalism. I have watched and respected her for at least 30 years. However, the two analysts Amy Walter and Tamara Keith are so cautious that they come across as milktoasts simply repeating the obvious to anyone who has been awake during the day. Give them more rein to speak or find women with more creativity and courage.. I never learn anything new from them nor retain anything quotable.
