I watch the public broadcasting station or CPB for my little kids because they like to watch all the channels that are available. It has really been difficult with the impeachment process taking over. It would be so much better if it could be on channel 12, the other public broadcasting station, or any of them, channel 4, 7, 9, any of them rather than taking over taking over the little kid's program.

PBS Newshour
Hello,
This email is requesting clarification 4 questions arising after comments made on the PBS Newshour episode from 2/21/2020:
Question 1: Does PBS Newshour try to persuade voters to change their mind on a certain candidate or candidates as Newhour commentator David Brooks stated? Question 2: Of the remaining candidates, which has PBS Newshour been favoring, and which has PBS Newshour been against? Question 3: Why does PBS Newshour try to persuade voters to change their minds on certain candidates? Question 4: Should public funding be used to fund a program that has been trying to persuade voters to certain candidates?
Here's the context for these questions:
David Brooks stated the following on the episode from 2/21/2020 (transcribed from youtube to the best of my ability): "I still remain a little skeptical of how effective the russians are getting people to persuading people to change their mind on a certain candidate. There's no magic formula for that. We try here every week and it doesn't work". These comments were followed by apparent laughter from David Brooks, Mark Shields, and Judy Woodruff.
Here's the original source video containing the comments (see time 31:13 through 31:27): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akVRaDZYLuw
My name is Mike. I am a concerned voter in California. I would appreciate a response to the 4 questions asked above.
Thank you.

Your network is totally liberal and biased. Just thought that you should know that.
Kangaroo Polka ...
Erik Visser Hello, My mother in law Lucille Boehm had a hit in 1946 with her song ' The Kangaroo Polka' performed by Jerry Wald, published by Shapiro, Bernstein & Co. Lucille passed away on in 2014. I just can't seem to find that old track. Is there a possibility that WNYE or any radio station has a copy of the song and perhaps would be so kind to send me a Mp3? That would be great ..! Sincerely, Erik Visser Amsterdam Holland / Europe
Technical Complaints
We are long time subscribers of public radio and public broadcasting starting when we were in graduate school in 1969. We are sitting here in Florida and unable to access public broadcasting because our station, WUCF, has been off the air since last Thursday. We are on an antenna. We will not support Spectrum. It's a crooked horrible company. We give our money to public broadcasting, not to places like Spectrum, but we have no service. There are all kinds of things happening in the world from impeachment trial to the coronavirus and we can't get any television news. I am absolutely fed up. You probably need to fire the General Manager. He doesn't seem to be able to manage the system. I'm extremely dissatisfied and very disappointed.
Npr news hour est 6 pm 02/25/2020
In today’s news lead by Judy. Once again mis information and biased against Hindus in India was reported in today’s news of Feburary 25 2020 This time the violence in New Delhi India is been mentioned as “Hindu mobs “ causing the riots . While it’s the Muslim mobs rioting from several days. I have been followingNPR from the last 18 years but these last few years NPR has been reporting misleading news creating an anti Hindu bias. Clearly this trend has been increasing more as Muslim news readers / reporters have started joining NPR. It’s unfortunate to see that this once unbiased news channel has been reporting biased news in this era of mis information This behavior is never professional No wonder many of the Indian origin members stopped following your news organization after Kashmir misinformation

I can't even make out what your message is. Get somebody else that can talk so we can understand them.
PBS News Hour
I listen PBS newshour podcast daily on my evening drive back to home and love their news coverage.
However in recent podcast PBS newshour I was astounded by coverage of PBS regarding recent riots in Delhi. The podcast mentioned that "Hindu mobs attacked Muslims and 10 people died". This was clearly communal violence which needs to be condemned unequivocally and where both sides lost people including policeman Ratan Lal and Intelligence officer Ankit Sharma.
PBS should not broadcast such lopsided and inaccurate coverage as it can unnecessarily challenge social harmony for Hindus living in USA.
Thanks for taking this feedback and please continue with brilliant coverage which PBS is known for.

Hello. I am writing to ask that you contact our local DAYTONA STATE COLLEGE, here in Daytona Beach, Florida and afford them some of your on air programming. Their antenna broadcast station channel 15.3 Worldview programming will cease this February 2020. Are you able to offer them your rights to broadcast some of your holdings/programs such as the American Experience, Reading Rainbow, Great Performances, Sesame Street, 3-2-1 Contact and the like in those genres ? Understand that the PBS stations from UCF are not viewable in this area. As we are not familiar with the rights for certain broadcast programs, am asking that you contact Mr. Larry Lowe at DSC 386-506-3508 and offer this station programs that we the retired viewing audience can watch. Know that we are and have been local residents who enjoy entertaining programs via antenna, and we are asking for your assistance in providing our local educational station with programs that are not currently available to them for broadcast. Thank You for your courtesy in achieving this goal. We do not want to lose our channel, and know you can provide programs for local viewers. Respectfully, Doc
PBS NewsHour
I'm calling because I just watched the Brooks and Shields segment on the NewsHour about the assignation of Suleiman, the Iranian general. I'm really dismayed at the apparent sanction of the American government assassinate people without taking the proper consideration. I think it's really dangerous. They made it sound like this was an okay thing. We're on the brink of disaster, potential catastrophic disaster, walking into another war like Iraq. It is irresponsible of PBS and the NewsHour to let these guys come on the air and not give thorough, unbiased opinions on these things.
PBS NewsHour
I just watched Mark Shields on the PBS NewsHour and he made some statements that I thought were very insulting and incorrect. He said that the United States has relied on Europe since the ending of World War Two. I guess it is pertaining to Trump not letting Europeans know that he was going to knock out that Iranian general who had a bad track record. Mr. Shields really should know it's been Europe that has been relying on the United States since World War Two. They spend one percent of the economic prosperity on their defense. We've been defending their asses since the end of World War Two. They have free health care, five weeks vacation, retire when they're sixty. All because the United States has been defending them. Mr. Shields really needs to get his facts together. It was insulting to anyone with a high school degree or higher to listen to what he had to say. It was obvious that he did not like Donald Trump, like everyone else at PBS. Get used to it. He's going to be the next President, again. Thank you for taking my comments.
Public TV programming
Claims of a diverse media is not accurate. The shows are mostly white orientated. The black talk shows, topic, complaints and discussion are no ware to be found on Public TV. Most of the black actors are being shown as criminals in movies as well as on news Broadcasting. The public media is showing pregidous actions in there programming and it appears to be a premeditated, sinikely established conspiracy against the male African decendants.
Frontline- Presidents
I think it is unfortunate that you did not include Judicial Watch in your hour about pres. Trump. You highlighted press from NY Times and Washington Post- those who promoted the Fake dossier- about Russia & the President. Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, Comey, Mueller, McCabe, Etal knew about the coup cabal and continued to pilfer tax payer monies to pursue this..Please go to www.judicialwatch.org for the truth.
News hour
I can’t believe Judy woddruff closing comment about the brief but spectacular segment tonight on pain and forgiveness was simply “wow what a remarkable story”. She should have said Wow what a remarkable WOMAN!!! Very very sad remark Judy!!!!
Shields&...comment
January 17, 2020 the topic of whether a woman should run, could win came up and the commentators both said, of course a woman can win. That is so head in the sand. If the Democrats run Elizabeth Warren, they are ignoring the misogynism that is rampant in the United States. At this time a woman cannot win in this country. Wlizabeth Warren is admirable in many ways, but she will have a lot of voters who will not vote for her. The two commentators fell all over themselves asserting that a woman can win. They are not dealing with the reality of the mafia Don and his unbelievable nastiness. The voters will not elect a socialist or a gay man, either. The Democratic party is not dealing with reality. Mark my words.
A time for new talent on pbs newshour ?
The information presented on PBS is trusted and unbiased. I’m grateful for the professionalism. However Yamiche Alcindor is such a poor speaker that it distracts from the information. She has a halting almost stuttering speech pattern. How this is allowed to continue baffles me. I also think it’s time for Judy Woodruff to retire. Thanks for reading.
Schedule changes
I just want to report my displeasure with the schedule changes made last week, especially removing Studio 360 from the weekend lineup and replacing Here and Now with 1A. It's very frustrating and disappointing.
PBS Newshour
Yamiche Alcindor. Please. She's not up to it. I've gotten to the point where I mute her when she's speaking. Please. Do something.
Border wall
Yamiche constantly omits truth to change context. Tonight it’s the border wall is falling over in winds. . Wow. It’s almost as if she wants to mislead her audience and keep the fact that the cement wasn’t dry yet at the time. Because she did that very thing.
BBC Technical Issues
The BBC feed has not come through. I'm just calling because this is not an unusual situation. It goes on and on and no one checks it at the top of the hour. It would seem like you would be concerned about this for your news watching public.
