I am a 30 plus year supporter of PBS and I must say I have become extremely frustrated with Amna Nawaz in specific and the News Hour in general. Ms Nawaz frequently presents extremely liberal biased, moralizing and accusatory pieces with only one interviewee that supports her narrative. PBS now often fails to analyze issues anymore by discussing both sides of a complex and difficult issues like illegal immigration or crime control and instead presents a one sided diatribe against "conservative" actors on the other side of an issue. The news hour has shifted away from the unique and balanced reporting that investigates both sides of an issue and is increasingly coming across as an advocate for specific courses of political action or political solutions. Whereas CPB was always my go to news source to understand what was driving different groups to do what they do, now I view it as an increasingly liberal mouthpiece primarily promoting a liberal agenda. I am fairly liberal but I am more interested in hearing what goes on in the heads of people on the other side of the fence. I have cut back my donations to PBS as I no longer feel like it is an impartial news reporting agency.

Your fundraising style is really poor. All year long on the create channel, you are featuring what I call "the fat bitches cooking club" where they cook the most fattening foods and some of the worst quality nutrition. Then you put on another show which does the same thing and it goes on ad infinitum (forever and ever and ever). Then, during your fundraisers, you put some idiot (who looks like a retarded psycho with eyes that look like they are about to bug out of his head) who tells us all of the things that we should be eating instead. Your record is stuck. It's playing the same crap over and over again. Then you put on somebody like Deep Hack Ch-Oprah as if this bumbling idiot is supposed to know something about living. I could care less for him. I can barely understand a word he says because of his poor diction and extremely heavy accent. But he's just boring and a bit of a twit because he thinks too much of himself. He likes to pontificate and it's not needed or wanted. In the years before these foolish speakers, they wouldn't have had these people speaking. They would have picked somebody who was a translator with clear diction and an ample vocabulary. But that's another thing, isn't it? You will have a translator and yet you will still have the volume turned up too high on the person speaking a foreign language with a heavy accent. And you can't tell what they're saying because the volume is too high. How stupid is stupid when stupid is more stupid than you could ever imagine? That's PBS. You guys lack the knowledge to analyze what is wrong and so you make the same mistakes over and over and over again. And lately, everybody is going on the cheap in the newscasts, especially with somebody like Judy Woodruff rough rough rough barking bitch dog, who needs to be put out to pasture because her newscasting style is always the same story: "ain't it awful???!?!??!!?" I am so sick of her. She thinks she's far more intelligent than she is and she's just a redneck from Oklahoma with a twangy accent. She doesn't speak from her vocal cords and her diaphragm. The sound comes out of her nose, the same as Lisa desJardins. That woman is the most homely bitch on the planet. She has a tiny mouth and she has terrible diction. She speaks too quickly. I actually have to turn the channel when she comes on because I cannot listen to her. When they are interviewing people, frequently because they are doing it via Skype or some other chat box on the computer, You have not coached them in the art of speaking slowly and clearly with good diction. And frequently you don't even test to see what the acoustics are in the room Where they are located. You can have a room that has so much echo that you cannot make out anything. How stupid is stupid when stupid is so stupid you can't even see it coming because you don't believe this stupid could be that stupid. Then you have the female black porky pig, Alcindor, who speaks so quickly that she ends up stuttering. She literally sounds like a female porky pig. And she's supposed to be replacing Gwen Ifill ? You are giving Judy Woodruff far too much power in making the decisions about the people with whom she works. She is picking these idiots because they make her look good. These little brats don't have any idea about how to formulate an idea from their sentences. With Gwen, she would interview people very carefully, watching her semantics as to not tip them off, and she would gain their trust: and then she would ask a question (which by that time, they were so comfortable that they would answer it). She would give them the rope so that they could hang themselves. Then she would look into the camera when she was finished and give her sly smile which let you know that she had done something quite ingenious. Judy is an asshole by comparison. She's totally incompetent. It's time for everybody to stop licking that old bitches pussy and replace her. I don't know why everybody bows before her because she is just the worst. She's not a national treasure. She's a giant cockroach. I'm not kidding you. Your fundraising shows are bullshit. Here's the better way to handle it. Turn off all of the programming until everybody pays up I just have a sign on the screen showing how much you have raised and how much you need. Stop bothering us with the guy who looks like he is totally insane trying to tell us how to heal our brains and heal our minds. I'd like to heel him like a dog, but he's too butt ugly to watch. Get rid of these dweebs. I can go on about all of it, and I think one of the worst news programs you have is Chicago tonight. Brandis has a really snotty look on her face all the time. She doesn't smile, she thinks she's being very professional, but she just looks like an angry bitch every time she comes on the TV. And then you have all of these other shows with Jeffrey Bear And I'm not going to correct the spelling on this because my phone doesn't know any of these things and I'm using the phone recognition for typing. But Jeffrey Bear sucks. I hate a person who acts like a goody two-shoes. His shows are excessively boring and once you've seen them, it's enough. Take those reels and throw them in the trash and if he wants to make a new show, have him make a new show, but don't bother us with the reruns. But to say he's boring is an understatement. And I'm sorry but I can't remember the name of the guy who looks like a lemur on the news hour. His eyes are so big they're almost comical. He is the one who always does the "feel good" story. It's always completely insipid. It's time to retire him and put him out to pasture. I would say that your best person there is Amy Walter. Your second best is a toss-up between the other dark haired girl who appears at the same time with Amy, and the guy whose arm was blown off in some accident somehow. He's a very good reporter. You need people like this. You need smarter people all the way around. Not somebody who is going to say ain't it awful All the time. I can't stand that fucking Judy Woodruff ruff ruff ruff ruff barking bitch dog. That is one self-serving cunt. Brooks and Capehart are also excellent, but they should be doing more of the reporting than commenting. Their comments are excellent, but I think that they would bring particular insight if they were doing the news stories. You really need to turn over and get rid of a whole bunch of people there. The problem is, as long as you have Judy there And you give approbation to her and her tribe and her method, PBS will never change for the better. And it's time for a new theme song for the news channel. That old recording sounds like it was made years ago with members of the New York Philharmonic tend to play on the sharp side in the violin section. The brass are extremely harsh. It's totally out of tune all the way around. Get a new theme song, it's way past due. In fact, just get a new show and put the competent ones in front and get rid of little lacky boys and girls and especially porky pigette...

If she leaves hopefully her replacement is as trustworthy and respected. I have read some ugly comments here and am seeing that behind the scenes PBS is cut-throat. Lost some respect for the organization.

Pls take Leila Fadell off the air at times when she has a sizable audience. I dunno if you listen to her speak: she doesn’t speak SAE; she speaks “babytalk”. She goes on air, I turn off npr. A**y N****n

I read your "CANNED RESPONSE" to anyone commenting on your "progressive/ultra liberal" programming bias. Your programming goes out nation wide, trying to lay this bias at the feet of "local stations" is BS. You receive hundreds of millions in taxpayer funds. We deserve balance reporting and programming (opinion shows, like PBS News Hour.) Seems to me you've sidestepped the 1967 Federal Law requiring your annual report verifying the balanced presentations funded by those taxpayer funds.

Why are all your show left leaning and bias against conservatives? Your complete liberal narrative even in nature shows make most people I know want to vomit. The funny part us we are not burying it.

It was quite a shock to tune into Ken Burn’s production and not find Closed Captioning. Please tell me why?

There are 3 seasons of this spectacularly witty show (Upstart Crow); I believe PBS in Maine has only run one. When can we expect to see the other seasons on channel 10? They're Wittier than any of your other shows..

Can more be done to encourage state affiliates of PBS (in my case, PBS North Carolina) to set up news programs that cover state and international news, to make up for shortcomings in the current national news landscape?

Also, can PBS consider the possibility of restructuring to a model similar to that of German public broadcasting association ARD, with regional broadcasters cooperating to form national programming?
