Please, enough of Jeffery Goldberg of The Host of Washington Week. This fellow comes across completely unprepared each week to function as the host. When I watch Washington Week each week I want to hear in depth analysis of the goings on in our national’s Capitol, not friendly chit chat in any way with the guests each week. Also, toward the end of the show of October 27, Mr. Goldberg made a big production of the last question he was going to ask his guests, only in the end to ask his guests if they thought it was a sure thing that Mr. Trump would be The GOP candidate for President in 2024? Excuse me, but where has been Mr. Goldberg been? Presently, is there another Presidential Republican candidate anywhere close to Mr. Trump in the polls? NO! Please PBS, show your viewers some respect by replacing Mr. Goldberg as the host of Washington Week, with someone who can do that function with the proper preparedness, pose, and intelligence that should be a prerequisite to have, to be The Host of Washington Week. Thank you. E**a B******d

This company is anti-Trump I refuse to let anyone in my family support or watch your programs because you have to much of a libral bias. I don't think anything will ever change with this channel. You are seting a precedence that is one sided.

NPR is wonderful and Ayesha Rascoe it was terrific as part of the NPR politics podcast, and shes a great writer. Im sure and very insightful, but she is also pretty Junior compared to her. NPR host peers, and often seems somewhat unprepared with asides and anecdotes that interrupt the flow of her stories when she’s doing interviews, I want to hear more from the guests and less about her and her kids — I say this as a mom and a woman of color. After several months, it hasn’t gotten better. There are MANY wonderful, talented women of color on NPR who can pronounce Latino and Asian names correctly, which Ayesha Rascoe often does not seem to put the time in to doing, and that can fully prepare for a polished flow of conversation, with a smooth line of questioning excellent interviews without needless interruptions. I miss having stories in the latter 20 minutes that are inclusive of an array of voices, and an array of minoritized populations and identities. I’ve been waiting for her to grow into the position, but she hasn’t yet.

You are truly propaganda peddlers just like CNN.If you have an ounce of common sense you would stop helping with the destruction of our country

Dear Sir, We have enjoyed tonight ‘s episode listening to inputs from a 3 members panel yet everyone contributed thus making the discussion much more varied , educational & interesting . It was a balanced talk, , not like previous ones dominated by the host , please keep up the momentum. Thank you ,

There was a time, years ago, when I supported PBS/NPR. I was a generous contributor, and was invited down to the PBS station headquarters in Phoenix, AZ. Then, and I can't give an exact date, NPR/PBS took a wide swing to what I'll call the "political right". My main sources of news are a digital subscription to the New York Times, ABC, NBC, and CBS affiliates. I never watch Fox news, but am aware of it's political slant, and its content. I would put PBS/NPR at the same level as Fox news. There was a time when the Republicans in the Senate and House, would launch attacks against the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, on a continuing basis. Not any more. They love the Pro-Trump content of PBS/NPR. Now, for the record, I would normally not care what you folks broadcast. I just don't want to pay for it with my taxes. I've considered sending 535 postcards to our elected representatives (100 senators / 435 House members) requesting action to de-fund your organization. You can make up the difference with additional fund raisers. Just don't pass the hat to me.

An issue for PBS more than NPR. But I am sure that the concern is applicable to NPR and its coverage of the Democrats and the Presidential election - specifically reporting and presenting news about Robert F Kennedy. Re: Washington Week-Atlantic on PBS. (I am 'biased' in that I write as a person that anticipates voting for RFK in the MASS primary, especially if Kamala Harris remains on the ticket. And in the general - Cornell West, if it is Biden/Harris.) Sent to PBS: The September 1st show (Washington Week - Atlantic) had me ready to scream (yes, I was upset) when the discussion turned to the Presidential election and the Democrats. Biden is the front-runner. But Biden does have dismal approval ratings AND there are legitimate candidates running against him, especially Robert Kennedy. Depending on whether one notes national polls or NH-polls his numbers are 10 - 15%. Yet the panel ignored RFK. Not NARY a word, there was NO word. The show needs to get back to its wonderful roots. The current version is way way too partisan and not a show where there is reporting. Steve N*****y, MA

To Sharon Rockefeller: could you please replace permanently Jefferey Goldberg from Washington Week. He is not appropriate fro this wonderful show that I have enjoyed for years. He is not a tv journalist. He seems self absorbed, and not able to let people speak long enough. The show seems like an infomercial for his friends and colleagues books. He holds up a book. Congratulates them, says strange things, like “and that’s all I will say about it”, then goes on to make reference to something in the book and make it a talking point. I believe on that show, at the end, he turned to the two women and said, I am paraphrasing, If you write a book, I will hold it up like this also. Apparently there are some very reputable writers who are women who have noted that he doesn’t really think women can write books or articles with many words. The last week with one panelist, Steve Inskeep, they seemed to have their own little time of laughter between them, like an old bos club, the new old boys club. He, I understand is very accomplished in many ways, including his editor in chief role at the Atlantic. I’ve enjoyed many articles there. Of course PBS is going through difficult times, but you don’t need him as editorial guidance or in this role on Washington Week. I have lost my Friday evening calm and sensible view and opinions show, with good panelists. I can’t imagine many people who have been in that role before wanting to be a part of this. Obviously finances were a concern, then talks with the Atlantic, then he is there clumsily and sometimes egotistically trying to be a moderator. Bring back Laura, or many other PBS suitable candidates. Let him keep his day job and talk with his Washington cronies about “existential ennui”. Please. Or I will and many others will have lost a little more of our no nonsense, well researched and down to earth news and opinion time at the end of the weeks which have been so difficult in recent times. I may not even be writing in the right place. I am one of the intelligent, but simple folks. Please see that someone who is in charge can help us and PBS. This is not the way to do it. I am sorry. I don’t like to be unkind. It is just such a bad fit. I know you must see it.

I have submitted a job for publication and am wondering why you are not publishing it. Thank you!
