When the MacNeil-Lehrer Report first appeared in the 1970s, it was a shiny city on the hill in the wasteland of TV news. They would devote each show to a single issue, with opposing advocates sitting at the same table as they were interviewed by Robert MacNeil and Jim Lehrer. They were thus forced to make their best arguments because they could be immediately rebutted. The show did not tell the viewers what to think. They trusted the viewers to make up their own minds after hearing both sides of the story.

As the MacNeil-Lehrer Report became the PBS NewsHour and Judy Woodruff took over, she destroyed this once great show. She turned it into a propaganda program. Only one side of an issue is presented, the left wing side. For the weekly roundtable, they hired fake-conservative Jonathan Capehart as the conservative counterpart to liberal David Brooks. Instead of offering conservative arguments, Capehart seems to always agree with Brooks.

The Savannah River is so polluted that most people who live in a large sector in Savannah and around Savannah live on bottled water, water gotten once a month at a person’s favorite spring! No one should swallow one drop of that water!

Hello,

Is anyone there? Do you have any reporters on staff? You must know that airing a news release from the US government is printing the concerns of a select few corrupt, career politicians whose main job seems to be looking after the welfare of their big business men buddies. Is anyone there a journalist? Do you fact check any of that garbage. Do you ever investigate any of your sources.

Covid Vaccine: The press in this country is owned by an oligarchy of the few. They sow the wind, Let them reap the whirlwind. Never in the history of humanity have so many people been victimized by the robber barons of Big-Pharm. You are about to discover just what the oligarchy sold you with their covid vaccine. Stop – Think – Ask – Change! But this time, change the right things. The robber barons have always been there. They will always be there. They have plenty of Senators, Congressman, and Judges to hide under. This time fix the yes-men who peddle enthusiastic rubbish. Fix the media! From journalism 101: In those countries where the newspapers are full good news — good men are in jail. In those countries where the newspapers are full of bad news — bad men are in jail. Fix the oligarchy! New Federal law: No individual or corporation in the USA who claims to gather or report the news may own, or be owned by, any other corporate identity. It is the intent of the law that no man can serve two masters. --Ed D****r, Kalispell MTht corridor between the oligarch, NPR, and the public you have be commissioned to protect.

how do I make a contribution to the public broadcasting system. Do I do it on a local level?

I hate it that Judy Woodruff is leaving. She is calm, professional, objective. Amna Nawaz would be an excellent replacement for Ms Woodruff. Please not Lisa Desjardins who appears excitable and talks very fast. The News Hour is my favorite on PBS.

The whole nature of the planet is being destroyed by the machinations of overpopulation, which is growing ever larger – it is mendaciously claimed scientifically that there are currently around 8 billion, whereas there are already more than 9.2 billion.

This, while the Earth at its peak was designed to support a total population of no more than 2 billion. But the human beings of the Earth have proliferated in terms of their billionfold offspring and have multiplied to such an extent that they have become a threat to the continued existence of the whole planet as well as to the whole of nature and its fauna and flora.

As a result, the extinction of many life-forms has increased in number, so that now every year more than 1,000 genera and species of plants, animals, creatures, snakes, amphibians, fish, birds, bees, butterflies, beetles, ants, termites, wasps, hornets and all kinds of other thousand-fold life-forms disappear from the entire surface of the earth, from the waters and mountains, from the skies and from the soil, and are thus eradicated. In principle, demonstrations against environmental pollution and against environmental destruction as well as against climate change and global warming etc. are of no use, because in reality and unstoppably the huge mass of humanity resp. overpopulation continues to grow uncontrolled, whereby the pollution and destruction of the planet, of nature as well as its fauna and flora is rampant and can --PTAAH

With one report of the average weekly listeners being over 19 million, why not create a program for listeners to solve the global challenge of playing sports uninterrupted during pandemics like Covid-19 to help the world with emotional, physical, and economic wellbeing? It can be done. Do an internet search for: "New Gender-Neutral Sports That Keep Players Separate." These New sports should 1. Keep players separate at least 6 feet. 2. Have no head or hand contact with shared equipment. 3. Be adaptable for those with a disability. Consider that two schools in Massachusetts had a recent teachers' strike keeping home over 13,000 students. If each student worked just one hour on creating a new sport, that would have been over 1 year project time in just one day. If only 100,000 Public Radio Listeners and Staff out of the more than 19 million worked on creating new sports, that would be over 11 years of project time in just one day. Society missed the opportunity to create these new sports during the 1918 Spanish Flu and the 2005 Bird Flu. Then in 2020, Covid-19 showed the world why these new sports are needed to allow society to be together in physical activity while maintaining social distance. It can be done. The hope is that society will create these new sports and or modify current sports before the next pandemics like Covid-19.

I think Don Henley can be the next vice president of the United States of America. Don has experience as an elected official and is a veteran of the army special services in the Americas. He can write the lyrics to his speeches and he can write the theme songs to his traveling election campaign. He has recent and relevant experience.
