I would like to know why your news broadcasting on PBS is so anti-American. It is disgusting. It is a terrible thing that you are using taxpayer money to run down the United States.

Editorial Concerns
Doc Martin
Your schedule states that Doc Martin was to be seen tonight, Jan 4 2021 at 7 PM but, once again another screw up and disappointment - The PBS NEWSHOUR was shown instead. How many times I have adjusted my own schedule to watch PBS programs and then NUTS - here we go again - one reason why I quit watching PBS
Liberal Bias and Who DOES oversee PBS' Ethics?
My family has watched The NewsHour, a former interesting news show, for years. Now the program offers slanted Narratives, not News. Here's an example. Last night Lisa recapped the news and then stated enthusiastically, "On a BRIGHT NOTE, the House of Representatives signed off on impeaching President Trump." What sort of person regards an impeachment as a bright note?
Furthermore, the NewsHour used to show about 30 minutes of international news and feature stories. Now it seems unless there's an anti-President Trump slant or Critical Race Theory slant that fits your Narrative it won't make it on air.
Shameful.
Trump carnage ???
I have watched pbs always.i have ordered from the catalogue.i will no lonnger do so.for the most part you have non stop shows that are black and hispanic oriented as if they are the only people that count.you are not impartial at all. The democrats have fermented hate and division for decades always claimintheother guy did it.communisim has now been illegally been put in to office. Biden is a treasonas lying crook You will never show that anymore than you did about the commumist leaning of obama.your like the rest of tv news & mainstream news.biased. all o care about is saving the rebublic from the lunatic left.personality wise trump lacks it but he is also the only president since tegan who has tried tp stop china from taking our country.the 1% who own facebook google & the media stole this election. I am done with your station.you do not give equal coverage For the most part you are to far to socialist left.trump is the only person who has called it what it is .fake news
propaganda
Will CPB tell the American people the truth about election fraud?
NPR in gen
Way too liberal. NPRs answer to why they chose to ignore the very real laptop of Hunter Biden was a complete lie, 100% fabrication. Not one ounce of truth. Given the outright lie, that asshole should be fired and any and all federal funds should be withheld. New standards forcing fair and non partisan coverage enacted. The paradox, NPR would not be able to find any. Odd, huh. No ex NYTer, no Berkeley professors. None
Editorial
My comment or question is, will the Corporation for the Public Broadcasting continue taking taxpayer money to hide the truth from the American people of the fraud of the election. If you hate our country so much why do you take our money? Why don't you tell the truth?
Quit being liberal d****
Quit being liberal d*** heads. Love the 1st ammendment, protected by the 2nd ammendment.
Unacceptable Government Sponsored Rcism
I was extremely offended by a segment on Amanpur this week in which Christine sat there with a smirk on her face while a guest REPEATEDLY spoke about how "White Males" think, act, and should be treated. This constituted a blatant act of government sponsored racism. This will NOT be forgotten unless it is addressed immediately and in such a way that it could never possibly happen again. Think of the effect it has on the white males in your employ and the fact that children witnessed this. You should be ashamed of youreselves unless you terminate the program and publicly state the reason was blatant racism.
PBS programs over the years
I have been watching PBS including the Masterpiece Theater offerings for many years. I'll tell you one reason British TV does so well here: It's because UK productions are done so excellently and imaginatively. The British have a long history of excellent literature and theater--and it shows. I often sit in awe of the productions and the quality of British dramatics. The culture here in the U.S. has not for quite some time lent itself to the quality of our productions compared to that which we are lucky to receive from the literary/drama traditions of Britain. (Just a note: I am probably the only person in the world who would have preferred Mr. Cumberbatch performing the "Sherlock" of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I didn't enjoy a surreal "Sherlock" at all. You should have made up a character of your own, not stealing the name "Sherlock" and, instead, come up with your own character name. For me, it was a cheap shot! And god help us if you do the same thing to Agatha Christie characters. Unfortunately, the generations probably since Vietnam or even Korea and The Beatles and R & R have been left without any taste for the classics and don't know any better). Thank heavens I lived in the era of wonderful Hollywood (and foreign film era), and radio, based many of their stories on British stories and very often starred British actors. e.g. Charles Laughton, C. Aubrey Smith, Cary Grant, Vivien Leigh, Maureen O'Hara, Merle Oberon, Laurence Olivier, John Gielgud, Ralph Richardson, Clare Bloom, Helen Mirren, Geraldine Fitzgerald [was she British?]) I respect and enjoy thoroughly the classics, as well as current offerings IF they're good. However, the classics today barely exist: Shakespeare? Walter Scott? Brontes? Austen? Stevenson? Beethoven? Gregorian Chant, De Lassus? Hayden? Mozart? Stravinsky? Ravel? Schubert?--and in television: "I Claudius", "Prime Suspect", and many others. I have repeatedly appealed to KOCE to rerun "Prime Suspect." Its theme, its plot is totally current. But they just don't do it. "I Claudius" definitely should be rerun. You'll never equal the 1st production if you make a new one. The actors and the mindsets today just aren't in the right ballpark. "Victoria"? Sure. It will become a classic. Also, the most recent "Forsyth Saga" (Forsyte?) may become a classic. But, you, too, have no interest in your Masterpiece productions that have become classics (I'm not saying that all are, but some ARE). I suppose that you like to get more money to produce new work and support current writers, directors, actors, etc. Too bad, it appears that the classics are disappearing off the shelves and racks. By the way, KOCE has the most disturbing clanging sound that is increased, electric guitars(?), during program breaks. I don't know why they keep it. It's particularly unpleasant after an important or moving program. They should get rid of it. Otherwise, it's a pretty good station, but then, all the PBS stations are.
Unequal news coverage
Dear CPB, I was once a big fan of your news program...not any more. I live near Chicago and watches the 7pm local news every night. In recent months, all the local news are dedicated to some racial groups and there is almost no coverage on Asian American community. I feel completely left out as Asian American. And I guess some people from other ethnic groups feel the same way. This is exactly why America becomes more and more divided- media fueled the division by unequal coverage. The correct path to racial equality is to treat everyone equally with the same amount of respect, but not favoring one over another. You as a government sponsored media should be more conscious than a private media outlet. In addition, your news programs become no less biased than CNN and Fox. The news hosts and guests are emotional and opinionated, making the program look like realIty show. I am no Trump supporter. Actually I am relieved to see him go. But I think you have got two things wrong: 1) not all people who voted for him are loyal to him - it is simply because Biden’s polices may cause more harm to them. 2) many people who vote for Biden not because they agree with everything on the leftists’ agenda - it is simply because they don’t like DT. If you don’t stop unequal news coverage and keep inviting biased guests to the news program, you will drive more and more audience away. And then you wonder why so many people fall for fake news? Because of you!!!! I used to donate to you every year, but this year I decide to give the money to WHO to help the poor countries buy COVID vaccines.

Mark Shields departure & PBS Teams' work
PBS news hour Mark Sheilds
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.

I hope you can pass this along to Mark Shields.
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
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.
