I am of the opinion as others before me that PBS is a far left organization and your bias is so obvious. The German station DW New with Brent Goff is a typical left leaning propagandist against the United States. He doesn't impress me at all and seems to me to be a no talent journalist that couldn't get a job in the USA!!!

Liberal bias
Missouri
Feedback:
I am contacting my senator about cutting government funding to PBS due to it's liberal/ democratic party bias. There should be no bias in public television. It is plain to see the bias, especially on Ampour and company and the PBS news hour.

I cannot believe you would drop the most intelligent show on your schedule (Peg + Cat) and put in its place something as vapid and ridiculous as Pinkaicious. You wonder how young children have any chance to learn anymore

CPB Merch
Massachusetts
Feedback:
Is it possible within the corporation's power to also sell merchandise based on its legacy and place in the culture of public media in our country? I know this becomes a niche of a niche, but I figure it might be worth considering as a revenue option, if only insignificant. Also, I just want a shirt with the CPB logos of yore on them. Thanks!
Note from CPB: Thank you for contacting the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. While CPB does not sell merchandise, there are other public media entities that do sell their own merchandise. You may be interested in merchandise from PBS, NPR or your local public television and radio stations, which sell merchandise on their respective websites.

Newshour: Please deliver this message to Mark Shields
Colorado
Feedback:
Dear Mr. Shields, I just read David Brooks's column on your retirement following the Newshour broadcast this coming Friday, and I need to write to wish you, from deep in my heart, the very best. I have watched the News Hour since 1982, when it was the MacNeil Lehrer Report. I have watched you since GERGEN and Shields. I also was the one who ran into you in a hotel in San Diego some years back while you were trying to order some eggs from the breakfast buffet and thanked you for all you do -- sorry to disrupt you! I am going to miss you. I have always admired your passion, decency, goodness, and humanity. You treated people fairly. You spoke with such clarity about the democratic process, of your conviction that politics can be a force of good. I cannot thank you enough.
This Friday I will tune in again, looking forward to seeing you once more. I will smile, and likely a tear or two will fall down my cheek. You are, Mr. Shields, something special. Thank you again, and best wishes.

PBS News Hour and Judy Woodruff
Texas
Feedback:
I voted for Biden, and I dislike and disapprove of Trump. That said, I would like Judy Woodruff to resist showing her animosity to Trump. It is getting boring, predictable, and annoying to hear her bash Trump every evening and in almost every news story. It is almost to the point that I think she has a personal (not professional) vendetta towards Trump. If she cannot report news without unnecessarily bringing Trump into it, she should retire. I donate to PBS, but I'm looking for other news sources.

Judy Woodruff interview with Georgia Attorney General
Illinois
Feedback:
That was the worst interview my family has seen by Judy Woodruff. She constantly was asking the same nonsensical things about the people being duped? What was she trying to get that man to say.? She was trying to get her point across on how the people want Georgia’s election thrown out. How about retiring Ms Woodrow. For a competent interviewer

I will miss Mark Shields commentary but look forward to his occasion appearances. It is like a breath of fresh air to hear Mark's take on current events, especially during the last few years when democracy took a nosedive. I also found his exchanges with David Brooks a model for civil discourse... he is a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you.

Feedback:
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.

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
Florida
Feedback:
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.
Note from CPB: Thank you for contacting us with your concern about funding public media and its content. Public media is a public-private partnership relying on multiple sources of funding in addition to the federal investment. PBS stations have always relied on donations from individuals to provide content to local communities and contributions from members to local stations are the largest single source of support for public television. In 2011, Congress asked CPB to produce a report on alternatives to federal funding for public media (PUBLIC LAW 112–74—DEC. 23, 2011). A link to that report can be found below. PBS Passport, which offers extended access to national and local content, is an added benefit of station membership. It cannot be purchased separately and is not a subscription service. This member benefit is a complement to the fundamental service PBS and PBS stations provide -- access to outstanding programming via over-the-air broadcast and through free streaming for a significant time. Every program available via Passport was previously available for streaming to non-Passport Members after the broadcast. Public media continues to offer the broadest access to freely available TV content – over-the-air on local member stations, through digital platforms and in communities across the U.S. Both local and national content is available without charge from stations around the country through a variety of platforms. https://www.cpb.org/files/aboutcpb/Alternative_Sources_of_Funding_for_Public_Broadcasting_Stations.pdf
The News Hour
Feedback:
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.
