Liberal bias

California
Feedback:

Sirs. The recent editorial regarding the liberal leaning nature of NPR equally applies to PBS. We are regular viewers on the News Hour at dinner and are repeatedly struck by the slanted reporting and bias viewpoints of the “experts”. Not subtle. I would suggest getting commentary from someone other academics. Real word working people often have equally valuable ideas. Respectfully. David T******n. Monterey California

Feedback:
As I long time listener, I am disappointed that I have yet to hear legitimate coverage on the Kennedy/Shanahan presidential campaign. I thought NPR was supposed to be non-biased?

PBS New Hour and NPR News

Feedback:
Please include Robert F Kennedy Jr’s campaign for president. The lack of coverage is galling and undermines the mission of publicly funded media.

America at a Crossroads

Maryland
Feedback:

Your series is so interesting, insightful, informative but I never know when you will be presenting. I was a daily PBS viewer then you the lead but am having a hard time watching Amna as I find her abrasive, rude, and nasty especially about Israel and Judaism. Is there any way to find out in advance when you will be presenting?

Feedback:
Please provide equivalent coverage of the Kennedy/Shanahan presidential campaign to those of the "major" parties, in keeping with your responsibility to be nonpartisan and nonpolitical in your activities. Thank you.

Feedback:

Dear CPB I am writing to you regarding NPR. I stopped funding NPR a few years ago, when i saw the dramatic shift to the far left. I am disappointed that NPR has taken this direction. Has CPB provided any guidance to help return NPR to the center. As you, and hence they, are funded by all American taxpayers, i would think it is your fiduciary duty to ensure NPR takes a balance approach. Your and their website speak strongly about Diversity, but diversity should go beyond race - it should include diversity of thought. Sadly it seems that NPR has lost its compass, and CPB has failed its mandate. I encourage the members of your board and management to reinstitute the balance and fairness that was once the hallmark of NPR. You and they are funded by all of America, and its your sacred trust to represent all of America Please get to work Sincerely C*******s M******y

Partisan programming

Virginia
Feedback:
I listened to NPR for 25 years and donated $ every year, but the last four or five years have seen a dramatic change. They were always left leaning, but now they are just as left as MSNBC. They proved it during Covid and then now with their blatant ignoring of RFK Jr. The last straw for me came when Jenn White on 1A started referring to expectant mothers as 'pregnant people'. Enough is enough. No more money and no more listening to your propaganda.

Presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr

California
Feedback:
I am a big fan of my local PBS station in San Diego. However I have yet to see any coverage of Mr Kennedy and his campaign messages that resonate with people nationwide and NPR seems to be ignoring him. The CPB is supposed to be non partisan in its funding. As an American I'd appreciate seeing and hearing from all my choices for president. Thank you, Erin

Ayesha Rascoe's Voice

Georgia
Feedback:

I agree with all of the comments about Ayesha Rascoe's voice: it doesn't belong on radio, especially alongside the amazing Michel Martin. Why not just make her a producer or an editor? She seems like a fine reporter. But to punish listeners with Ayesha Rascoe's terrible voice is just not fair. I've stopped listening to NPR's Weekend Edition, and may not donate to my local station this year.

NPR RFK Jr. Blackout

Feedback:
RFK JR. Is polling in the double digits nationally yet NPR appears to be solely focused on the two major party candidates. Public broadcasting is supposed to be politically non-biased….

Please provide regular updates of RFK Jr.'s polling reports. The American public has the right to know about all the candidates. Thank you!

Unfair and biased coverage

Virginia
Feedback:
You have purposely NOT been covering RFKjr. As a presidential candidate. He is polling 10-15% and has a serious chance of getting in the White House. You are supposed to be non-partisan in your coverage. Why not cover RFKjr.? He just named his VP Shanahan. There is a lot to report on the. The silence on this issue is deafening!

Robert F Kennedy, Junior

New York
Feedback:
I am appalled at the lack of coverage of this man’s campaign. He is in the lead with voters under 35 and in swing states in voters under age 49. He is doing well with Hispanics, people who have never voted and extremely well within Independents. Where is the coverage? You’re supposed to be non-partisan? Where is the outrage about his lack of Secret Service protection? Where is the coverage of his vice presidential pic? What is going on here?
