I've had to stop listening to npr on Sundays because of this woman's terrible voice. Grating, immature, high-pitched, and just awful to hear. Not to mention the terrible grammar and squealing in unscripted sections (i.e., interviews) it just sounds like amater hour. In contrast i do love Audie Cornish's voice (smooth delivery, calm tone)
When a voice on radio is soooo unprofessional and distracting, one stops hearing the content and only the voice. It's very dispiriting to have to give up Sunday npr.
Partisan garbage
Georgia
Feedback:
It is sad that PBS Newshour has such complete contempt for ethics and objectivity. The whole program is nothing but Democrat talking points and slanders on Republicans.
Why are my tax dollars going to support utterly mindless partisanship?
The senseless killing of Barred Owls, in California.

Feedback:
I am very opposed to the killing of Barred OWLS in order to save the Spotted OWLS in California! This reeks of Joe Biden and his Handlers! They enjoy killing life, be it a bird or a baby, if it suits their pocketbooks!

New Studio Design at PBS News Hour
Arizona
Feedback:
Did anyone look at the new broadcast set design with guest's and anchors in the set?
You have the allusion of pipes growing out of the head of people on set or even worse rods running horizontally through the heads & bodies of people on set. As for the color scheme it is very overpowering, sutler would have been nice even enjoyable if you really think new was needed here is a clue NO THE CHANGE WAS NOT NEEDED it adds nothing except money in the hands of people who took you for a ride.
Not a smart move on the positive side the BLUE captioned print GREAT very readable
I just watched Politics Monday segment could you have crammed the two presenters closer together did the camera loose the ability to
pan from one presenter to another. I know you did not ask but I would only give these changes 20% for improvement.
Dam your doing NEWS not a Broadway Production. I came for the Content which is what COUNTS if I wanted a movie set I would go to the
Drive IN or a movie theater DO NOT REPLY bogus email

I read so many negative comments about Ayesha and I agree. Her voice and “accent” are so annoying. Please get rid of her. Weekend edition is horrible with her as host.
Trump Conviction
Feedback:
I watched Washington Week in Review. I found it very revealing that no one on the panel seemed to understand why Trump has such a dedicated following. Let me explain it to you. Any fair-minded person would realize there are two sets of rules for conservative politicians vs. so called "Progressives". Hillary suffered no material penalties for destroying evidence, keeping a server in her home, generating an election interfering dossier or generally using her political influence to garner enormous wealth. The Clinton Foundation has never been audited. Joe Biden keeps government records at his home - and gives access to his biographer to classified documents, but suffers no penalties. The Biden family has been selling influence for years. I realize Hunter is not his dad. But, tell me this, how many times could Hunter have raked in millions for himself and his family - if his dad never delivered? How does that business model work? It may have worked once - but over and over?
Trump is no saint. and democrats do not have a lock on corruption - but there are obviously two sets of rules. Trump voters realize that if government agencies are willing to use their power at the behest of the political party in control at the moment - then no one is safe. Get out of line - and the government will crush you. If they can get Trump, they can get anyone.
Let me ask you this. Given the obvious corruption of the Clintons and the Bidens - will it be their turn next if Republicans get in control? When does this stop? Does anyone on the left care what is being done to our system of justice? Think about that for a minute.
The Offensive Pledge Weeks
Florida
Feedback:
One doesn't expect to see this kind of programming on a network otherwise known for high quality. Most of those who love regular PBS programming are appalled by these programs and their deviation from the norm. As a result, loyal fans are lost, at least temporarily. And the people who are attracted to these misfits may cough up some money, but they may not be pleased when the drive is over and Suze heads south for another couple of months to be replaced by science shows, Brit dramas and how-to shows -- all of which inhabit a plateau totally dissimilar to shows that have the words "wheat belly" in the title. Then there are the pleasant special shows, usually performance-oriented, that should last an hour but usually take twice as long. (Steve Martin and Edie Brickell in a Great Performances pledge special, left.) Why? Because the allegedly brilliant minds that are responsible for shows like "Nova" and "American Masters" think punctuating a good program with endless pleading for money makes sense. Compare it to buying a car. You go into a showroom and either like what you see and think it's worth the cost or you don't. A salesperson may try to browbeat you into capitulation. He may disappear for inordinate amounts of time to check a fact with a manager and may forget to return your keys that they borrowed to appraise your car. But they don't want to give up. Such tactics might work on the dimwit characters of endless failed sitcoms, but they are insulting to the typical fan of the normal PBS quality level. It's an insult thrown regularly throughout each broadcast year at people who have proven their loyalty. These and other tasteless tactics of PBS pledge drives are as out-of-place and gauchely mistaken as a platter of White Castles on a Downton Abbey banquet table. That these judgment errors continue unchanged and unchallenged isn't easily forgiven. Public radio stations with which I'm familiar don't rely on stunts and bad manners to receive support. So why is the larger sibling so clueless? Going back to the top of this rant, there once was a time when smokers were welcomed almost everywhere, and no one thought of challenging such negative behavior. Today the smokers who persist not only are not welcomed, but they are also treated as the worst and most undesirable of creatures by many. Please, PBS, clean up your act, break the habit and treat your fans with the respect they deserve. Because right now you stink.

Feedback:
Another excellent job by Amna Nawaz on the Newshour.
I believe she is THE Best anchor on television today. She is ALWAYS prepared for any interview and asks very thoughtful and pointed follow up questions.
She keeps her interviews on task and does not let them stray off topic to what the interviewee wants to talk about.
You are very fortunate to have such a talent on the Newshour and I feel very fortunate that I can rely on her reporting each evening
Thank you. Michael Paddock, Long time PBS supporter and looking forward to many more years to come.

Please--in the name of God, PLEASE--get Ayesha Rascoe off of the radio. I am sure she is a competent, professional, and nice person, but her voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard. I just cannot listen to her speak, and I cannot listen to NPR's weekend news shows anymore. It is painful.

Please stop taking federal funds that could be used for people and not propaganda. There is no need to fund this. The market supports multiple companies doing the same thing as you without burdening citizens and their tax dollars
