The democrats v the reublicans
Feedback:
You know I don’t even vote because things are so corrupt and one sided that I understand why the democrats are in fear. The non sto lies and efforts to remove him from office has created there own fear. Thy are so self centered and focused on destroying trump they completely ignore the efforts by fbi and there illeagal subpoena and wire taps for something they created this has been on going non sto. What makes them so errogant to think that people aren’t going to turn on them and there constant efforts to destroy this country. It’s probably pretty smart to get him off social media because all he would have to do is make a call to arms nation wide and the dems would be hiding in an crack or whole the can find Again I don’t vote but the capitol was very small in the scope of things cause I along with many many numbers would answer his call they better get a grip before many people get a grip on them. It would be one thing if the did the same with Biden. To where thereefforts where true and honest. But it is so sad and sick If I did what they have done. I would be in fear as well. And I would hope that somebody would stop me in my track and shake the hell out of me befor I did something there was no coming back from I don’t care how much you dislike e him you don’t lie create scenerios that aren’t true to get what you want then when there is real evidence against you that you’ve been caught at many times and your candidate and his son are thief’s and liars and criminals How can you keep going along the same track your on. If you think the capitol was scary just keep it up and see how many people will really answer his calll to arms. I would back the f off
Inspiring Woman nomination - Dr. Wilhelmina Van Dyke
Massachusetts
Feedback:
Dr. Wilhelmina Van Dyke was the first woman at Mass General Hospital....The only female and got through the bias of being a woman with the gaul to do such a thing as be a Doctor. Not only did she kick open doors and ceilings.... she was my Pediatrician! I did not know her story... because I was a kid and thought this was normal. When she passed and her obituary showed her story..... I wish I had known... as an adult... and thank her... and celebrate Dr. Van Dyke for the amazing strong woman and trailblazer that she was!!!! Please look her up..... She was modest etc.... but deserves a shout out and a huge thank you from the woman that stand on her shoulders.
Thank you - Holly Kissane
NC Spin vs Gospel Music
North Carolina
Feedback:
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.

Scarlet and the Duke
Utah
Feedback:
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.

Why is Fake News So Effective
Massachusetts
Feedback:
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

Lincoln Project
January 18th, 2021
Feedback:
I'm just curious why no media or news organization has picked up the story of the Lincoln Project persecuting people that used to work for our old government. They're going after people, canceling their jobs, getting them fired. That doesn't seem very American to me. Why isn't there a story about that?

Fire Michael beller
Illinois
Feedback:
I saw a video circulating Facebook where your principal counselor is calling for Trump’s supporters children to be placed in camps, like Hitler. If this is truly the view of this station, you do not deserve any funding. You are a disgrace. If this is not your company’s view, you need to fire him immediately!

If you are a godly, Christian channel then why are you supporting evil, such as what our Democratic parties are doing? I'm going to bring it up this up in my church and a few other churches about this television station. You are not posting the truth about things. Change it or higher above will take action.

Are these the ideals that CPB were intending to support when the donation to PBS was made?
This is a disgusting point of view. Re-education camps and separating children from their parents for an opposing point of view.

PBS Newshour - Yamiche Alcindor talks too fast
Oregon
Feedback:
The show is excellent. We just wish Yamiche Alcindor could slow down when she talks. It is so bad we can’t understand what she is saying. On other shows she doesn’t talk this fast and very good and professional. We wish she could take it down a notch or two so we could hear her properly.

PBS and CPB Broadcasting Propaganda
Idaho
Feedback:
I have read hundred of complaints regarding how unbalanced and opinionated the NewHours has become, you can't take money from taxpayers and only report propaganda from the left, you state that you have nothing to do with these shows, you don't produce ect., so making comment is a complete waste of time, pointless. Both of these organization refuse to hire conservative journalist, or have any guest that don't fit a Socialist/Communist narrative. You make wonderful shows on Travel, Science, Food etc., but you should no longer be allowed a favored tax break for reporting any Political programs. Your ads say, Fair and Balanced or something like that and that's completely untrue. Yamish and the other three gals are not journalist, they just give us their liberal opinion, so cut the crap, drop those ads as the News Hours is not honest at all. Go back to Journalist school, or hire some Conservative Journalist, investigative reporting is not what you are doing, you are nothing more than a propaganda tool for the Communist party. . . the other show are great, stop the Political B.S. shows. . . Bashing the President of the United States 24/7/ 365 is not news, you treated Obama or Hillary or Billy, or Sid Blumenthal the senator who lied about his Military service. Everyone knows voter fraud is real but U? Not one honest story on Voter Fraud, where's the Journalism.. .. . . I have watched you every week for years, so I know how bad you have become, lead, follow or get out of the business. . .

KOCE a PBS station in Los Angeles
California
Feedback:
KOCE has a disturbing clanging (probably from electric guitars) noise during a station break just after and just before a program. They often show very serious or a particularly interesting human story or serious history, perhaps about some kind of human struggle. Then, on the station break you get this very noisy clanging sound. It's disturbing. I don't know why they have that particular noise between programs. Why? Often I just leave the station as soon as a program is over and go to some other station. Moreover, I send NO donation to the station.

Judy Woodruff Wardrobe
January 1, 2020
Feedback:
Although I'm a big fan of Judy Woodruff, I must admit that I'm mystified by Judy's frequent changes in wardrobe in mid-show, and sometimes seemingly, in mid-interview. I could have sworn Judy changed her outfit in the middle of an interview on Trump's foreign policy on yesterday's show. I'm just wondering whether she turned off her monitor before during so. That might be a sure sign that Judy is suffering from cabin fever. I don't recall that she ever changed her outfit mid-interview when she did the show from the studio. Although, some of her male colleagues may not have minded it.
