Your Feedback

As a great admirer of CPB and PBS, I have really enjoyed the Ken Burns series on Hemingway, but as a retired professor and author of a biography of the Mexican artist Siqueiros, I would like to encourage you to increase the diversity of subjects as well as film makers. Since the American Masters series includes films on Diego Rivera and Jose Clemente Orozco, two of the great three Mexican muralists, why not an American Masters production on Siqueiros, who painted three murals in Los Angeles and who has had a great impact on contemporary American artists, including Pollock, but also many contemporary American muralists of all colors? There is plenty of archival footage, the Getty Institute and the city of Los Angeles have spent millions on restoring Siqueiros's murals in LA and Lorena Manriquez produced Siqueiros, Walls of Passion recently shown on public TV. The life and work of David Alfaro Siqueiros is a great story and his ideas and innovations in art deserve recognition. Thank you. D. Anthony White, Ph.D.

The following was emailed to Az PBS as a complaint to their programming and political position on April 20, 2021, the subject was TWO LIES!

I am outraged as a taxpayer helping to support this corrupt enterprise called "public" TV!

LIE ONE: How dare you discuss and support the concept of "systemic racism" as if it exists and is true. IT IS A LIE!! It is a provable lie because we had systemic racism in this country when I was a child in the 40's and 50's so I know what it is and what it looks like. IT IS GONE!!! None of the purveyors of this lie can produce any evidence of what systems are in place that are racist. Saying outcomes aren't equal is no proof at all, intellectually lazy and frankly stupid! The ONLY area where there may be a system that is racist is in college and university admissions whereby Asian and white students are routinely discriminated against.

LIE TWO: Climate change is not primarily man-made. Only a very small part (less than 5%) of any small amount of warming that has occurred in the last century is due to man-made CO2 emissions. Thousands of scientists and many books are available to PBS to cover why and how we have been lied to now for decades. EDUCATE YOURSELF....before you spend 3 hours of taxpayer time and money promoting that brain-washed child from Sweden's irrational rant....man hasn't caused climate change and CAN'T FIX IT!!

The unbridled irresponsibility of promoting these two positions borders on the criminal. Not only that, it is partisan as it is obvious that the country is split down the middle on these two issues politically and therefore to take a position supporting the leftist agenda on these two issues means you are stealing money from half the country...that also borders on the criminal.

I will be sending a copy of this email to the board of the CPB!

In an attempt to escape biased journalism, I turned to PBS. After many instances of blatant bias from Yamiche Alcindor, I am turning to BBC. How a publicly funded network can justify this reporter’s clear agenda is beyond comprehension. My taxes should be put to better use.

What happened to the best actor....? I think thats newsworthy!! All you reported on was minority's receiving an oscar.....

I just watched a wonderful segment on cicadas. It was very well done and should really help city people better appreciate nature. But I was appalled by Judy woodwards comment at the end about the repulsiveness of insects. Insects are important to nature and to our existence on this planet. We need to encourage people to understand that. Her comment is likely to turn off many. Pls don't that happen again. Joan Mukherjee

Wednesday, April 28, 2021, 3:45 pm Pacific: I take no pleasure in writing this; however, as a financial supporter of the Pacifica Foundation's Station KPFK, and a US and California taxpayer, I believe I that I should. During 2020 and 2021 (to date), I have taken great pains to learn about the governance and financial status of the Pacifica Foundation. I have attempted to do so, in part, by listening to meetings of the Pacifica's National Board of Directors, to meetings of that Board's committees, and to meetings of the Listener Station Board of KPFK. I do so by relying upon the information published on https://kpftx.org/index.php . Alas that information is misleading. On several occasions, including this afternoon's scheduled Pacifica National Board Coordinating Committee, when a public stream of the meeting(s) was to be available, NO SUCH STREAM(S) HAVE BEEN PROVIDED. The CPB should be mindful of these transgressions. You may "track" such failures by searching the "archives." You will note that often when such audio streams were to be available to the the public, no such streams were available.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Your news organization only seems to talk about the bad past of the white race. Why don’t they mention facts if they’re going to talk about it like who gathered up the blacks to be sold from Africa to begin with. When they find out the truth they resent you. Every race has a few bad apples but all you talk about is racism how bad our history is on blacks. That’s my point right there it’s history it’s in the past it’s not what’s happening now why don’t you talk about what’s happening now besides what you’re causing in the news! For some reason you want a racial divide, why? We have to live together...Tell facts and and tell the truth if you’re going to tell any story at all! I’m ashamed I’ve watched your program most of my life, The news is supposed to deliver fax and let us decide how we’re going to feel, please tell Judy to stop telling us how we should feel, really! Please retire her, now! And tell the truth, the whole truth, or no story at all.

Hi, I am trying to find lists of stations that fall into the following categories. NPR, Classical, Jazz, AAA, folk/blues, joint licensees, state legislature stations. I see your station finder that is a great tool, but was wondering if there was a way to break them down.

Hi This is Claudia out in Palm Desert, California. We haven't had any signal for about three weeks now. Can you fix it?
