Distressing how rapidly this show has descended from objective reporting to editorial non-sense.

Fiscal 2020 450 Million, Corona "Stimulis" 75 million
Over a half billion dollars, yes Virginia, that's with a "b." The amount the US taxpayer will subsidize CPB to demean, criticize, and discredit the Trump Administration and its supporters. Have you no shame? To add insult to injury, one of your Seattle NPR stations, will no longer broadcast the much needed and demanded, daily Corona updates from the White House. How ironic, one of the nation's plague -ridden hotspots, and the half-wits in charge will deny valuable and timely information to its paying members! How many more NPR stations will accept tax dollars while ignoring the vast majority of U.S. taxpayers?
PBS Newshour
Friday, March 20
Just to be clear, I've had no symptoms of any illness. However, I'm just listening to the Newshour. And when Mr. Trump said "we inherited a terrible system"
I suddenly felt like throwing up.
I wisely responded by hitting the "mute" button until the source of my nausea was finished lying to the people, and my symptoms quickly improved.

Makes me sick! Watching AH program today airing a Colorado elk/bison commercial ranch for profit. Theses animals are not intended for commercial farming. They’re for wild environment ! Remember, it was commercial farming in Canada that started “Chronic Wasting Disease” by pure negligence maybe not intentional. But the risk is very high and therefore should not be allowed! CWD has now spread throughout about half of all states in the wild animal populations especially deer and elk with devastating effects. There’s no mention of in the AH programming. You might look further into “wolf” reintroduction and see the devastating results it’s having on the wild population in the lower 48 states. You’re condoning pure ignorance by man instead of eductucating the mass. I am not an “anti@ to any extreme measure but rather a concerned hunter and fisher and a pure naturalist raised in the way of respecting Mother Nature and what it has to offer. I suggest you do much research and allow time for both positive and negative sides of every subject aired. Put mores emphasis on saving the planet and mankind before we destroy ourselves. God help us . LOL.
News Hour
Mark Shields is supposed to be the "liberal commentator" but he is so nice to the evil monster Trump. We need a commentator who will rip that rotten bastard to shreds not some mealy mouth sorry ass old encrusted "liberal" like Mark Shields

The quality of the reporters appearing on the Newshour is outstanding, with one exception. Yamiche Alcindor speaks so fast that her entire report is seemingly one very long sentence. Also, although I am no fan of this president, I object to her manner and tone when she asks the president questions. Frequently she interrupts and speaks over him while he is trying to answer. I find that rude and unprofessional.
News Hour
I have on going questions you haven't answered and should continue to answer throughout. How long must we wait for enough test kits to be made? How many testing stations are available and where? How many test are made per day? How many positive? How many are quarantined and where?

Why don’t you get some real reporters. No wonder nobody watches. Federal funds should be removed.
Editorial
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.
Funding
Did the current government do something bad to your funding that you get from the government? Did you loose some of the government funds because of that reduction? If there was one? I'm thinking of the quality of prime time tv shows - like Masterpiece. The show we watched last month was not of the caliber we saw in past years. Was this because of fewer funds to spend on programming? Specifically, the show Howard's End was a real disappointment for any number of reasons.
Clifford the Dog and Sesame Street
I am thoroughly disgusted with your plans to appease the gay groups by having introduced gay relationships onto children’s programming and Sesame Street planning in introducing g a drag queen character in one of its shows. You have taken too much liberty for a station to receive so much backing from our tax dollars and I am going to have to carefully watch from now on what my little granddaughter watches while visiting me. Shame on you PBS. Shame on you that you felt you had to become politically correct to back a group that is a minority in our country rather than consider the many conservative minded families that have supported you for so long. I am disgusted with our America today! Disgusted by how companies are being controlled by the voices of groups such as the alphabet people as I call them because I can not even remember all the letters they go by. You no doubt have lost another family who once valued safe programming for our children. More will follow when word gets out about the latest Sesame Street debaucle. Patty Hager of West Virginia
PBS NewsHour
We have watched Nebraska Educational Television for forty years. PBS NewsHour also for a long time. We have noticed Judy Woodruff and her guests have nothing good to say about our President of the United States of America. Even David Brooks and Mark Shields now took opposite views - it is only one-sided now - all the guests do not say any good about our President. We really believe Trump is trying to make America Great. If the news media would have more great stories I believe would not incite riots, racism, suicides and mass shootings. The news is upsetting; even the local TV stations report one sensationalist story after another - surely there is more good than bad things to report. Does the news incite bad behavior, is it money, are they paid to do this? We would like political wisdom and not political views.
2/28: tonight's Shields and Brooks
Mark offered that during this week's debate in SC that the only candidates on stage that remained calm and in control were two guys. (Buttigieg and Bloomberg) Though I don't own the in control meter, my take is that Klobuchar remained calm and in control. To leave her out plays into a gender bias which is beneath the typical reporting behaviors of these men. I hope you will do more than provide a bot reply. Thanks
Outrageous biased program today
I listen to NPR frequently in my morning drives, especially between 10am and noon. I'm a Vietnam combat veteran with service connected disabilities and was honored to be the first Vietnam Veteran to honored on Honor Flight-Syracuse, (April, 2014). John McCain called NPR "radio Hanoi". Now I know why, Your show today that I heard only from 11:30 to noon was like a Democratic fund raiser, and instructions on how to unseat Republican Senators. If you get one dollar of public funding it is outrageous. I'm looking into this.
PBS News Hour
I have written to the PBS Public Editor several times about routine violations of PBS' Editorial Standards in it's political coverage. I'm not asking you for comment on merits of these concerns but want to know what recourse is available if the Public Editor doesn't even respond to my correspondence.
