General Observations of Public Television Newshour

Washington
Feedback:
It has been many years since I've used television to obtain my news. I say that because medium too often is more of the message than the message itself. While the organization's founders were really riveted on minimizing the impact of personality or other visual or sensorial influences, it's choice of message-givers made it a construct of the power-elite. Today's news show with Judy Woodruff is a far more message-driven production, that makes great efforts to portray the impacts of world and national news on a broader populace. The selection and prioritization of news pieces also reflects the importance of impact on everyday lives. The lifestyle/arts magazine portions of the show are routinely uplifting and insightful. While I still predominantly obtain my news from written sources, I wanted to convey my appreciation and admiration to you for your current product.

The democrats v the reublicans

Feedback:
You know I don’t even vote because things are so corrupt and one sided that I understand why the democrats are in fear. The non sto lies and efforts to remove him from office has created there own fear. Thy are so self centered and focused on destroying trump they completely ignore the efforts by fbi and there illeagal subpoena and wire taps for something they created this has been on going non sto. What makes them so errogant to think that people aren’t going to turn on them and there constant efforts to destroy this country. It’s probably pretty smart to get him off social media because all he would have to do is make a call to arms nation wide and the dems would be hiding in an crack or whole the can find Again I don’t vote but the capitol was very small in the scope of things cause I along with many many numbers would answer his call they better get a grip before many people get a grip on them. It would be one thing if the did the same with Biden. To where thereefforts where true and honest. But it is so sad and sick If I did what they have done. I would be in fear as well. And I would hope that somebody would stop me in my track and shake the hell out of me befor I did something there was no coming back from I don’t care how much you dislike e him you don’t lie create scenerios that aren’t true to get what you want then when there is real evidence against you that you’ve been caught at many times and your candidate and his son are thief’s and liars and criminals How can you keep going along the same track your on. If you think the capitol was scary just keep it up and see how many people will really answer his calll to arms. I would back the f off

Inspiring Woman nomination - Dr. Wilhelmina Van Dyke

Massachusetts
Feedback:
Dr. Wilhelmina Van Dyke was the first woman at Mass General Hospital....The only female and got through the bias of being a woman with the gaul to do such a thing as be a Doctor. Not only did she kick open doors and ceilings.... she was my Pediatrician! I did not know her story... because I was a kid and thought this was normal. When she passed and her obituary showed her story..... I wish I had known... as an adult... and thank her... and celebrate Dr. Van Dyke for the amazing strong woman and trailblazer that she was!!!! Please look her up..... She was modest etc.... but deserves a shout out and a huge thank you from the woman that stand on her shoulders. Thank you - Holly Kissane

Lincoln Project

January 18th, 2021
Feedback:

I'm just curious why no media or news organization has picked up the story of the Lincoln Project persecuting people that used to work for our old government. They're going after people, canceling their jobs, getting them fired. That doesn't seem very American to me. Why isn't there a story about that?

Fire Michael beller

Feedback:

I saw a video circulating Facebook where your principal counselor is calling for Trump’s supporters children to be placed in camps, like Hitler. If this is truly the view of this station, you do not deserve any funding. You are a disgrace. If this is not your company’s view, you need to fire him immediately!

If you are a godly, Christian channel then why are you supporting evil, such as what our Democratic parties are doing? I'm going to bring it up this up in my church and a few other churches about this television station. You are not posting the truth about things. Change it or higher above will take action.

Are these the ideals that CPB were intending to support when the donation to PBS was made?

This is a disgusting point of view. Re-education camps and separating children from their parents for an opposing point of view.

PBS Newshour - Yamiche Alcindor talks too fast

Oregon
Feedback:

The show is excellent. We just wish Yamiche Alcindor could slow down when she talks. It is so bad we can’t understand what she is saying. On other shows she doesn’t talk this fast and very good and professional. We wish she could take it down a notch or two so we could hear her properly.

PBS and CPB Broadcasting Propaganda

Idaho
Feedback:

I have read hundred of complaints regarding how unbalanced and opinionated the NewHours has become, you can't take money from taxpayers and only report propaganda from the left, you state that you have nothing to do with these shows, you don't produce ect., so making comment is a complete waste of time, pointless. Both of these organization refuse to hire conservative journalist, or have any guest that don't fit a Socialist/Communist narrative. You make wonderful shows on Travel, Science, Food etc., but you should no longer be allowed a favored tax break for reporting any Political programs. Your ads say, Fair and Balanced or something like that and that's completely untrue. Yamish and the other three gals are not journalist, they just give us their liberal opinion, so cut the crap, drop those ads as the News Hours is not honest at all. Go back to Journalist school, or hire some Conservative Journalist, investigative reporting is not what you are doing, you are nothing more than a propaganda tool for the Communist party. . . the other show are great, stop the Political B.S. shows. . . Bashing the President of the United States 24/7/ 365 is not news, you treated Obama or Hillary or Billy, or Sid Blumenthal the senator who lied about his Military service. Everyone knows voter fraud is real but U? Not one honest story on Voter Fraud, where's the Journalism.. .. . . I have watched you every week for years, so I know how bad you have become, lead, follow or get out of the business. . .

KOCE a PBS station in Los Angeles

California
Feedback:

KOCE has a disturbing clanging (probably from electric guitars) noise during a station break just after and just before a program. They often show very serious or a particularly interesting human story or serious history, perhaps about some kind of human struggle. Then, on the station break you get this very noisy clanging sound. It's disturbing. I don't know why they have that particular noise between programs. Why? Often I just leave the station as soon as a program is over and go to some other station. Moreover, I send NO donation to the station.

Judy Woodruff Wardrobe

January 1, 2020
Feedback:

Although I'm a big fan of Judy Woodruff, I must admit that I'm mystified by Judy's frequent changes in wardrobe in mid-show, and sometimes seemingly, in mid-interview. I could have sworn Judy changed her outfit in the middle of an interview on Trump's foreign policy on yesterday's show. I'm just wondering whether she turned off her monitor before during so. That might be a sure sign that Judy is suffering from cabin fever. I don't recall that she ever changed her outfit mid-interview when she did the show from the studio. Although, some of her male colleagues may not have minded it.

Judy Woodruff should retire. NOW. She drones on, forever, setting up questions and generally talks WAAAAAAY too much, and says virtually nothing. We do not need 5 damned minutes of Woodruff "setting the piece up" with her own ridiculously long opinions.

Reveal , weekly program on KCHO, Chico, CA

California
Feedback:

Program was cut off this AM at 10:40 and jazz music was played instead of the program I was hoping to listen to. This is one of my favorites, and there was an interview being conducted....THE CUTOFF WAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERVIEW AND APPEARED TO BE CENSORSHIP. This is not what we should be about!! I love this program....excellent reporting. They were interviewing an author, and we were gaining insite into her research. Even if you disagreed, it was a BOOK.
