I have been watching the Rick Steve Travel show for many years. Actually, its a wonderful way to see the world and learn the do's and don'ts from each cultures. But now I'm beginning to ask myself, since I'm a women of color, do Rick not run into any people of color in his travels that have help made the hillsides and communities what they are. This is the year 2023, and in all my years of watching his show there are never people of color and how their customs and accomplishment help shape the none of the places he has travels. Actually I ONLY see him interview, travel with, eat with, lodge with, go and share the history of one group of people, and they all looks like him and his family. Is this what the CPB stand for or is this just a Rick Steve thing? Because I'm beginning to see him different.

Israeli Council General 12/27/2023
It seem pbs has lost its way. Amna is no Judy Woodruff. She harassed the Israeli Ambassador yesterday with continuous interruptions and pointed questions. She is one sided instead of objective. From previous similar comments it appears the station is deaf. With all the antisemitism one would expect pbs to be more sensitive. Sincerely, S*****e H*****z Please read this older post. “ Nawaz is a terrible wanna-be-anchor whose staccato, machine gun delivery is at least off-putting and disrupts the kind of calm insight Woodruff has brought for years. If Nawaz takes Judy's seat you have lost my viewership and membership as well as those of my circle of friends who share my dislike. I am amazed that someone hasn't taken her aside and retrained her from her network supercharged delivery--she bounces in her seat!!. I would appreciate a response as I have written you all several times and have received NADA.

News coverage of UN Secretary General Guterres' use of Article 99 on 12/7/23
I watched the television Newshour coverage of Secretary Guterres' use of Article 99 to bring the matter of humanitarian crisis in Gaza before the United Nations Security Council. The NewsHour failed to provide sufficient context and certainly did not provide all the facts of the story itself. The NewsHour coverage failed to live up to its own standard for accuracy. Invoking Article 99 is the only means by which the Secretary General of the UN can bring attention to, “any matter which, in his opinion, may threaten the maintenance of international peace and security.” This is the first time in 50 years, since the crisis that led to the partitioning of Bangladesh, that Article 99 has been invoked. It's being done for good reason. Why did I not hear the rest of the story on PBS television?
Mistitled programs
Sirs, several times lately your programs are listed wrongly. Is no one minding the store? Today all Creatures Great and Small is actually a Lucy Worley history of the London Tower. This ha been off and on for weeks. ERlier today Samantha Brown was actually Curious Traveler. Is someone not reading before loading the show?
Coverage of the Gaza/Israeli war.
I'm in VA and am a member of VPM. I watch the NewsHour every evening. I can't thank you enough for that coverage. It's thorough and graphic and upsetting....BUT it's so important that the viewers get the unedited version of that war -- everyone in the US needs to see it. Thanks for your bravery and integrity and creative!!! P******a B**l, Staunton, VA
Why is KLCS always broadcasting DEAD AIR?
Trying to watch Consuelo Mack on KLCS, Saturday, 12/02/2023@ 03:30. Nothing but dead air. Is this how you are spending our PUBLIC BROADCASTING MONEY? Why should we ever choose to fund a horrible station like yours?

mass brainwashing
Dear news organizations, It is important to report on the reasons certain U.S. citizens rabidly continue to support Donald Trump, despite his actual and impending criminality. Obviously, Trump is always acting, always on stage but it is significant to observe: that is who he really is, and most importantly, that is all he really is. When Trump tells his supporters that crime is skyrocketing, or that the economy is the worst it’s ever been, they take his word for it. They are under-informed or misinformed about the issues at hand, and make themselves targets for mass brainwashing, and ultimately identical to cult members. The problem isn’t just that they are misinformed; it’s that they are completely unaware that they are misinformed. To some, it doesn’t matter what Trump actually says because he’s so amusing to watch. Not only are these traits of cult members, but a sign of a mass ignorance pervading a significant sector of U.S. citizens. All cults have something in common. They strip away freedom of thought and realign ideas with those of its leader - a frightening prospect considering millions of Americans are being brainwashed by a reality-TV celebrity. Terms such as narcissistic and psychosis are often mentioned regarding Trump, in psychiatric publications and by experts in the field. When a highly symptomatic individual is placed in an influential position, the person’s symptoms can spread through the population through emotional bonds, heightening existing pathologies and inducing delusions, paranoia and propensity for violence. This is what we are seeing in our society, when people are threatened by Trump supporters, or when politicians are afraid to speak the truth. In the press and in politics, there is much discussion around voting Trumpists out of office, but the problem is far beyond that. There needs to be much more discussion around the mass brainwashing that has occurred, and the resulting cult behavior of Trump supporters and politicians. This would help to pave the way for a mass deprogramming, through an awareness campaign, and fight against the disinformation pervading the media world. Sincerely, Ron F**n, CEO V*****o, Inc.
Documentaries and other videos on PBS
I want to ask about the resources that the corporation for public broadcasting have for archiving important show on PBS. I have a film degree and a history minor. Many shows, such as Nova, were part of my upbringing. My father supported PBS when I was a child in the 60s and 70s. I fear that many of the documentaries and informational shows will be lost to future generations because there seems to be no effort to restore and archive them. I wanted to get a copy of Nova's Flood!, The documentary on the Great Flood of 1993. However, It was not available. I believe that we have a duty to future generations to archive, upscale, and make these and other videos available to preserve history. I do hope there is some sort of archive that is being kept. The issue is video sources like tape and DVDs can degrade. So, they become inaccessible over time. Thank you for your attention J**n G****n
