Additionally, comments pertaining to programming are shared with the CPB Board of Directors and relevant public media staff.
Prior to certain PBS programs, I see photographs or paintings that have been submitted, and wondered how one goes about doing that? I've a few photos that I'm pretty pleased with, and thought others might also find them pleasing.
How does one submit them?
thanks
I listen to news to be advised on what is happening in my country. I don't need these so called journalists to tell me what to think. All I ask for from journalists is the bullet points, you can't even give me that. I want basic info from journalists, not opinions. Give me the basics, I can find facts and form my own opinion. Journalism no longer exists
Yamiche Alcindor seems to be well loved by her compatriots, but she is simply not a smooth and articulate speaker and it gets in the way of following her line of reasoning. I know it’s important for black women to have prominent spots in the media and support that - Gwen Ifill was highly talented! - but can we get someone in there who really moves the discussion along at a high level please? Thank you for reading this.
This commentator is a part of the biased hate journalism from PBS. Constant attacks on Trump completely negative broadcasts! PBS is not going to get donations from 75 million Trump supporters with this one sided negative reporting! Goff is a low brow no talent wannabe news anchor! This German station should pay more attention to Chancellor Angela Merkel and her huge political mistakes. Open immigration, purchasing energy from the Russians and making huge trade deals with the Chinese and also refusing to pay their for share for NATO . . . The Americans saved with the Germans with the Marshall Plan and stationing of American troops in Germany for their citizens and the European's protection!
All recorded videos on CBS lock up. I have a ROKU Television without a box. I stream via Spectrum. Spectrum tried but can not fix it. Please help. I miss Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, and Sunday Morning, etc. Can you help? John Roth, 29 Montvale Ln, Rochester, NY 14626
This is for the PBS public television. You are destroying America with your news you are putting on with this hatred for Republicans and for Trump. What I just turned on just now was so unbelievable - not allowed to say Trump's name because he is so bad. The nation is tired of it. They are mad with everything that is going on and you are throwing this in your face. There are 80 million people who voted for him. You gotta remember that. Half and Half. Not all Biden. This has to stop. Judy Woodruff is one of the worst news anchors I've seen outside of CNN. I want to hear both sides, not just one hateful side. You hate United States citizens. That's what they are - United States citizens. I'm not a Biden or a Trump, I'm a libertarian. I want whoever is going to work in there. Biden, in his first twenty days, destroyed America. You destroyed 80 million Republicans with your biased news. I will never send money to you again unless you get both sides on this. Every single night you have Judy Woodruff and that other girl who hate Republicans and hate Trump. He's a human being, he's a citizen and he does not need to be treated like this. Nobody needs to be treated like this. You and your public, federal television are destroying the United States of America. You shouldn't be biased. I don't think any money should be going to you. I am so sick and tired of this. You've got to bring the United States together and Biden is not doing it, but your news people can do it if they tell the truth. Quit lying through your teeth.
I wish to comment on the American Experience program about the race riot in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1921. It was so one-sided. There was no anger from the Black people that you had on there. It was so one-sided. I hope that you will not make any more American Experiences with that one-sided view.
If I have to hear Henry Louis Gates ask the question one more time “ how do you feel about that.” I am going to scream. I am tired of the fact that this program always target the ancestors who were slave holders, or who had mixed race roots most probably due to rape, to the exclusion of all other ancestors that could be researched and discussed on the program. This show is not about genealogy but is about the mission of Henry Louis Gates and I am sick and tired of it. As a genealogist, this program has become very tiresome and I may never watch it again. The way you let Gates engineer this show is turning myself and my fellow genealogists off. If tax dollars are being used for this show, then there needs to be a better balance. The show with Pharrell Williams was the worst. Stop playing politics with this show.
Every Monday The NewsHour has a political segment with two left-leaning women. You aren't a private entity. Why shouldn't you include participants who are conservative? I don't mean faux conservatives like David Brooks. Perhaps this would grow your viewership by presenting all views? As it is, Monday night is free advertising for Democrats.
As a disabled individual with a brain injury I find your policy requiring a minimum $60 yearly donation to qualify for your passport member benefit on PBS Video a burden and impossible to afford. Why not have a donation sliding scale for such matters? The amount i can afford in relation to my severely limited income would equal what your regular folk would pay. As a non profit surely you can relate to my and others’ struggle.
Dear Managers:
I am sending a subsequent letter to continue explaining the importance of the truth in journalism. The following is what I call upon journalists and editors to follow for the model for public news. We need the truth in our daily news and not have the truth subverted in the interest of pop-culture and expediency for framing suspicions, lies, hoaxes and fabricated nonsense as "conspiracy theories," which is a media bandwagon of false headlines for misleading the public. Journalists and editors should be literate enough in science to follow the recommended education expectations for science literacy and be able to reserve the use of theory for science and truth revealing to the public and not follow the fiction writer's model for reporting essential news.
Can you work to strengthen truth in public supported reporting of the news? Can you provide the impetus to influence the editors and journalists to follow the model for theory in science? Here's an excerpt for expected science literacy for the ordinary citizens, and I might add, what we ought to expect from publicly supported news media. Note: journalists ought to be able to frame suspicions and allegations of conspiracy not as theory but as suspicions and unsubstantiated claims of conspiracy as matter of daily activities in their lives as journalists.
"A literate citizen should be able to evaluate the quality of scientific information on the basis of its source and the methods used to generate it. Scientific literacy also implies the capacity to pose and evaluate arguments based on evidence and to apply conclusions from such arguments appropriately." Source -pg. 22 paragraph 3 previous citation & pg. 23 second paragraph: "Scientific literacy implies that a person can identify scientific issues underlying national and local decisions and express positions that are scientifically and technologically informed."

As someone who has been watching the Newshour since the early 1980s, I am dimly tired of listening to Judy Woodruff. She is competent and articulate, but change is needed, especially if the Newshour wants to be attractive to an audience younger than 60somethings. Just hire Lisa Desjardans! She has smarts, youth, and warmth on her side.
I happen to be contributing to PBS for a couple of years. I just saw this documentary calling my President Donald J. Trump carnage. If you want to get donors from the 75 million while calling his carnage... How dare you. How dare you allow that. There is documented TV of exactly what this man said. I can't believe how PBS would be a part of this. You see how they twisted that man's words. He did nothing but want to help the American people. If you have a problem with me because I support this great president and the 75 million people, then maybe we shouldn't donate to PBS. You want to talk about misinformation. If PBS is going to start being like the propaganda media, then I'm going to pull my money. This is crazy. Shame on you people. If you want to be along with the other numskulls of America and take it down, then don't accept our money.
