Defund Trash NPR

Feedback:
I didn't need an article by one of your own editors to tell me you are communist propaganda. I noticed it going that way years ago and stopped listening to you and affiliates, as did my friends and family. I DO NOT want ANY more of my tax money to go to your treasonous cause, and am telling Congress so as well. You are destroying America and really ought to be ashamed. Just remember, one day you will have to answer to God. Turn it around now, people.

I used to listen all the time, now impossible as it has turned into a propaganda machine for progressives. What ever happened to presenting both sides of a discussion for the listener to decide. No more public funds fo deliberate bias.

funding for NPR

Pennsylvania
Feedback:
I believe CPB has failed in it's financial obligations by providing funding for NPR, since you do not meet your obligation to serve THE PUBLIC. In this way CPB is misusing public funds. I would like to see this change, since I believe NPR has a legacy of support for democracy, which has now eroded. I do not want to see funding for CPB /NPR be reduced by Congress, but I think this will be a required step unless things dramatically change. CPB objectives include: "Foster a PUBLIC media workforce that includes the DIVERSE backgrounds, talents, and experiences of the American people" ( Data show that there are NO Republican's working for NPR. It's not politically diverse. And NPR recently changed it's policies to allow political activism. This is a violation of public trust and federal guidelines for political neutrality) "Support initiatives and projects that extend the reach of public media to new and DIVERSE users and creators of content" ( NPR is only supporting Democratic and progressive initiatives and projects) " Work with public media ....to address important local, regional, and national issues contributing to the national DIALOGUE." ( CPB supports NPR, where the term DIALOGUE is being used fraudulently. Dialogue requires two perspectives. NPR is now entirely one sided politically) "Support efforts to strengthen community engagement with DIVERSE organizations and institutions." ( The CPB must divest from supporting NPR, which is no longer National PUBLIC Radio. It should now be called National PROGRESSIVE Radio. This claim is based on my own personal observations over the last 20 years, but the best evidence for the claim I am making of fraud comes from Uri Berliner : https://www.thefp.com/p/npr-editor-how-npr-lost-americas-trust Since I have written and called NPR numerous times about this over the last 5 years, and nothing has happened, I will now escalate this however I can. I would not be doing this to private media companies like CNN or MSNB ( or Fox, but obviously they are right wing nuts, not progressives). But CPB and NPR are violating the Public Trust !

After the story regarding NPR covering up the truth concerning stories related to the covering up the Hunter Biden laptop as well as pushing the Trump collusion fake news via Adam Shiff myself and many people like myself, I shall be pushing to stop all funding for NPR. NPR is a communist shill. Only 30 percent of current and former listeners have any faith in your reporting.

You need to cut off the funding for NPR! If they are going to be so one sided and believe Adam Schiff, they don't deserve any public funding!

Feedback:
Brent Goff is cool. He is the only reason I watch DW news. The prior calumny about Mr. Goff's ability from some viewer who is obviously struggling to achieve his G.E.D. requirement is understandable, due to his insatiable penchant for whining. DW is a class act

Feedback:
We no longer listen on Sundays and decided to stop support for NPR. Would NPR hire an on-air personality whose presentation is 'white trash'?

Weekend Edition

Maine
Feedback:
I no longer can listen to Weekend Edition because of Ayesha Rascoe's voice. I think she has the worst sounding voice on radio and she should be moved to a research position. Get her off the air!

I do not feel like when I listen to NPR I'm getting all the facts. The tone is so ridiculous these days. Also, who haven't we heard from RFK? Or Trump? I get it, you don't like them, so what! This is public funded. We All deserve to hear it all. When you were on the first cares bill I know you were going to go way way off the mark. Could you please come back to normal, you were the best of the best at once point. Thank you DLM

Lack of Coverage of 3rd Party Candidate Robert Kennedy Jr.

Feedback:
As a public broadcasting network, you are compelled to maintain a strict nonpartisan and nonpolitical stance in all its activities. Fulfill your charter please.

Honest coverage of RFK Jr. Campaign

New York
Feedback:
As the 2024 election cycle ramps up it is important to have a well informed public and honest coverage of those running. RFK Jr. Is a serious candidate in this race, however, mainstream coverage by outlets such as NPR tend to hyper fixate on out of context clips or other dishonest takes. Journalists need to realize what he is taking on - corporate capture of our government and government agencies. Instead of writing about pharmaceutical industries corruption, the media calls him anti-vax. The argument he makes is much deeper than what’s covered. I can say much more but will keep this brief Please have him on NPR or ensure a wider spectrum of journalists covering this extremely important matter. Our democracy depends on it.

Lack of nonpartisan reporting- excluding RFK Jr

Massachusetts
Feedback:
You are leaving out coverage of RFK Jr and you are supposed to be nonpartisan and getting funding to be so. Shame on you. I use to be an everyday listener but no more. By the way, he has many good and solid things to say about gov't, policy, the Constitution, as well as, health, chronic disease, food, and the environment. For supposedly being a more "intellectual" thought org, I would think you would intensely interested to hear what he has to say.

Robert F Kennedy, Junior

New York
Feedback:
I am appalled at the lack of coverage of this man’s campaign. He is in the lead with voters under 35 and in swing states in voters under age 49. He is doing well with Hispanics, people who have never voted and extremely well within Independents. Where is the coverage? You’re supposed to be non-partisan? Where is the outrage about his lack of Secret Service protection? Where is the coverage of his vice presidential pic? What is going on here?

Feedback:

I am appalled at your choice for NPR's new CEO. This woman should be investigated immediately for her blatant biased leadership. Therefore I'm sure it won't take long after the investigation to realize that she needs to be fired immediately on the spot.

Why is there no honest coverage on Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s campaign and poll numbers? This is incredibly disappointing and we deserve to make an informed choice in this election. Please do better.
