Gee - more reporting, please: Both Dean Phillips, a sitting US Congressman and Ms Williamson are on the SC primary ballot for President. Yet, ATC does not mention this. Why is ATC/NPR but not least mentioning this in their news coverage? Their poll numbers (and votes(?) in the South Carolina primary will suffer from the lack of coverage. Below is a cut'n'paste from the AP Challenging Biden on the South Carolina ballot are U.S. Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota and author Marianne Williamson. Phillips received about 20% of the vote in New Hampshire, while Williamson received about 4%. S***e M*****n

Please explain to the American public why Bruce Ramer remains on the CPB board of directors as of Feb. 1, 2024 when it seems clear his total years of service exceed the maximum allowed for this role.

I have always appreciated Washington Week, but it's new iteration in combination with the Atlantic headed by Jeffery Goldberg is GREAT!!! Jeffery Goldberg is an astute ( and funny ) moderator. I appreciate his ability to move the conversation along, to ask scintillating questions, to dot the fast -paced discussion with humor, and to value the responses from his guest panel. Thank you for the continuation of this important broadcast.

To: PBS From: Pam Hammond Re: WA Week in Review I am so disappointed the the “new” programming. To my mind, Jeffrey Goldberg sets the wrong tone in the role he has taken on as moderator. He dominates the conversation. He interjects his opinions, often in a jokey manner. He clearly takes positions on topics that are being discussed. I am wondering if partnering with the Atlantic for economic reasons was dependent on his assuming this position. In the past, I have enjoyed and benefited from crisp, sound analysis of current and pertinent political and social events. The role of the moderator is a critical component in providing a low key direction of the discussion. Many have excelled in this position in the past. The whole program has changed….and not for the better.

PBS claims to support diversity, yet airs animated shorts by StoryCorps which do not have any captioning. Are you only supportive of some types of diversity, but do not support persons with hearing disabilities? You should not show or support these shorts unless they have captioning. Period. I have long been a member of my local PBS station and am really disturbed every time you show these animated shorts - I cannot understand them without captioning.

I need this to get to the corporation that runs all the news networks if you can I am in stating and that investigation into the news networks in the US for covering up terrorist activities done through the CIA and all of its entities they have been censoring it for Access terrorism done to the people and we need to fix this immediately the FCC needs to be called in along with the secret service presidential because we need to get the information to the people to say this country from your act of treason New Orleans was done through these entities and so a bunch of other things that is almost depressed our country now we need to put on the news what the president orders and not what the CIA wants if not I will do a total and complete corporate takeover of all your freaking corporations and everything that has to do with anything of the news I do not mess around with this you will not freaking scare me and I'm not joking you will need to get in contact with President pence and ask him what needs to be put on the news immediately throughout all your networks if this does not happen when I come up in the standing I will do total corporate takeover and all your 15 billionaires will lose a lot of their freaking money in their accounts will be frozen for terrorist activities and war crimes just try me

On NPR recently we have learned of two important Israel Supreme Court decisions limiting the powers of Benjamin Netanyahu. Yet on PBS we have heard nothing. Why? Are Foundations censoring content?

Amna Nawaz I commend her for her very sensitive and cogent interview tonight with the woman who was recently released from Hamas prison. And I commend that courageous woman for telling her story in such a straightforward and respectful way.

Years ago, the PBS NewsHour and later Washington Week would have comments sections where viewers could express their opinions. I was constantly shocked at how ill-informed the viewers were. I would write of events which I took for granted that everyone was familiar with. The commenters would think I was making things up and I would have to cite links from liberal sources such as the NYT and Washington Post. What is shocking is that PBS was content to have such uninformed viewers. Even today, on most issues, they present only one side. They do not trust the viewers’ intelligence to hear both sides and make up their own minds what to think. They’ve become an advocacy group.
