CPB seeks to make public broadcasting more accessible to the public it serves. To do so CPB maintains a toll-free, 24-hour telephone line (1-800-272-2190), an online contact form, and accepts letters sent directly to CPB.
All comments are available on this website to be viewed by the general public. Each year, by statute, CPB transmits this public link to the White House for its report to Congress. Additionally, comments pertaining to programming are shared with the CPB Board of Directors and relevant public media staff.
You can either report on Hunter Biden and the corrupt Biden family or I will fight like hell to make sure that all government funding stops going to your left-wing organization. You're not journalists. You are in the fact that you're a loudspeaker for the leftist-Democratic party. I'm just leaving you a warning that me and many of my fellow Conservatives will make sure that you are defunded and put out of business.
Why does PBS on Youtube most times turn off their comments section. Why do most people who work for PBS show and affinity for democrats. I have watched many of your news shows and it always seems you turn off comments and then spout democratic rhetoric. I am sorry but i pay a bunch in taxes and i am curious why you use our tax dollars to belittle or under mind any conservative frame of mind.
I am going to do my best to see what i can do to have the ACT President Johnson signed and the appropriations given to CPB withdrawn or lowered. I do not see why you need hundreds of millions of dollars of our tax money to tell use how good the democrats are.
I am absolutely disappointed in PBS NewsHour and in their reporting, specifically Amiche Alcindor. Fairly regularly now, she will say to Judy, "Judy, people are saying" or "according to critics." Those are not news sources. Those are opinions that she is dressing up as they are real news. It is absolutely disgusting to me to see what used to be a prominent news program resort to things of that nature - "people are saying" and "according to critics." That is not news. That is someone's opinion that they have dressed up as some official source. It just goes regularly un-commented on. I've seen some of the bumper statistics that you do, it will say "96% of this is this," with no attribution to the statistic. Judy Woodruff herself has resorted to opinion. That is why people want to defund PBS. It is so stilted to the left it is unbelievable. As someone who was on the left, with the last Hillary debacle and the current debacle, I've registered as an Independent. This is so unbalanced now that it is unbelievable and undeniable. I'm seeing how stilted it is to the left. The identity politics, especially from people of privilege. I'm tuning out. I don't trust the PBS NewsHour anymore.
I have been an NPR listener for years. Unless you start covering Hunter Biden and the information coming out concerning the Bidens, I will listen to you or donate to you again. How dare you cut out the news.
I am concerned about what message your co-host Tony D. Intended (at the conclusion of the report on the arrest of a Black teen) when he tossed his ink pen onto the desk.
I have been listening to NPR for forty years. I can not believe the audacity of you not to cover real news. Unless you start covering Hunter Biden and the laptop, hotel, and other people associated with Biden, I will make sure that you never get another public dime again or from any government agency. I will work hard to defund you.
Tonights episode is rhe final nail in the coffin for your unlegit reporting. Tonight's episode Nov. 18, 2020 has an obviously bad misquote all to attack republicans, and I can prove it is still up on youtube!
In the report called (Trump's dismissal of Christopher Krebs sraws widespread criticism) you PURPOSELY MISQUOTE a republican senator!
Proof At the misquote if you pause at 3:35, The misquote text and biased narrative you push at PBS Newshour is, again, wrong as usual, so wrong...because AS HE TALKS IT ON AUDIO HE ACTUALLY DISAGREES!
You misquoted him saying this on your video, "the irony is we really did a much better job in 2018 and 2020"
That IS NOT what he says, clearly on my 50 inch HDTV fullscreen loud 100 volume, he ACTUALLY SAYS: "the irony is WE HAVE really DONE a much better job in 2018 than in 2020"
Listen, and correct your pathetically biased mistake.
And yes, your obvious bias and hiding truth in the youtube comments by disabling comments proves you all are pushing a biased and untransparent agenda.
Get real, you are being watched and prepare for lawsuits, your bias has been showing a while ... bye bye nonprofit status, PBS!
I just got done watching "The Choice 2020: Trump vs. Biden" I was just appalled by that documentary. I have watched PBS Frontline over the years and I thought they were a pretty good year. This year, not so much. What they were trying to get us to believe is that election is all about character, temperament, persona, and personality. They said that at the end of the show. They said that policy is not the choice on this year's ballot. I don't believe that for a minute. They tried to make Trump look better than Biden. If this show was the only thing that I ever saw to make a decision, I would not vote for either man. I have been watching politics my whole adult life - some 50 years. I can tell you that Trump is a better President than Biden will ever be. This is just another propaganda film. You put some blemishes on Joe Biden. I grant you that. You tried to make him look like an empathetic figure. He's had a tough life. I'll grant you that, so have a lot of other people. To be a 78-year-old, senile man as President of the United States will not get the job done and PBS did not get the job done on this film. I'm appalled. I will never make another donation to PBS.
She has turned newshour into a political left wing platform with no real interest non bias reporting of right wing views to balance .i would rather that news hour stay out of the political arena when ever possible but her left preference and snide comments and attitude make half the viewership uncomfortable and frankly down right angry.its time for a change new unbiased anchor and lead reporters as well.a grassroots movement to defund pbs is gaining speed due largely to judy.
I'm leaving a message about programming on my local PBS station, WHYY. I'm here in Philidelphia. I'm really upset that they are playing the Frontline interview with the 2020 candidates, which is the most biased piece of "reporting" that I've ever seen. They are playing it here on a day when there are riots and protests and an election six days away. This is public broadcasting and that is absolutely not acceptable. The Frontline piece on Joe Biden and Donald Trump is highly biased, highly prejudicial in favor of the Democratic candidate and it makes me disgusted. I'm an actual Democrat. I really want to complain about that. I already canceled my membership for this very reason. I don't want to see it in my newspapers. I'm sick and tired of the bias. Everything seems to be fake news and it's impossible to know what to believe because of things like this. Public broadcasting stations shouldn't be biased.
Mark Shields comments ,
" I haven't found that many good Germans among the Republicans who are resisting "
I found that comment offensive. I am not certain what he was driving at. But leave Germans or Americans of German decent out of it completely.
I am a PBS subscriber and I am also a subscriber to 'COMMENTARY', a conservative Jewish magazine. I am ALSO a German-American and a historian by academic training. I am quite well aware of the terrible events that occurred during the 2WK (AKA: WW2) under the Hitler regime. And yes, they were reprehensible by any definition of 'racial persecution', but I am extremely tired of having this 75+ year old drama replayed practically every week on PBS programming. If it isn't Rick Steeves preaching about the horrors of German National Socialism, it's 'The Rise of the Nazis' or the 75th anniversary of that travesty of international law known as the Nürnberg War Crime Trials.
It is quite obvious that PBS loves to rub Nazis in our faces, every time we turn around, and I for one am sick to death of it. What is also quite obvious is that bashing Nazis has become a regular pastime on PBS and I'm uncertain as to exactly why, unless it's because there's so much influence by pro-Jewish elements of American society at PBS who are behind this. In the present decade of American progressive 'Democratic identity-socialism', it appears to be conveniently overlooked that Hitler's execrable transgressions against humanity were and have been far exceeded by a full century of Soviet/Russian Communist barbarity (whose victims number in the hundreds of millions)! There have been innumerable, equally despicable villains (AKA: mass-murderers) in the past several thousand years of human history...Napoleon, Ghengiz Khan, Mao Zhedong, Pol Pot...the list is practically endless...but whom do we chose to trot out of the closet of horrors every week? Why, those lovable, ultimate mega-monsters, the German National Socialists!
The fact that Josef Stalin was ostensibly our 2WK 'ally', who shared in the defeat of the German Third Reich (and a subsequent victory-wreath) endowed his utterly barbaric depredations (mostly against his own people!) with a most convenient blanket immunity from worldwide censure that has been conveniently swept under the historical carpet. Had the Soviets been on the losing side, make no mistake in thinking that Stalin would have escaped the same sort of carnival-like miscarriage of justice that the Nürnberg Tribunal defendants faced. Despite the populist ballyhoo that portrays the Nürnberg Tribunal as just and fair, a preponderance of objective jurists today condemn them as an absolute, utter farce. They were in fact a travesty of proper jurisprudence and the equivalent of a virtual 'Old West Style' lynch mob right from the beginning!
Reichsmarschall Herman Göring, in his lengthy prepared statement before the Tribunal, presented many compelling arguments in his defense (and the defense of the other defendants), but today the lucidity and practical cogency of his testimony is also conveniently ignored and/or overlooked by liberal historians. Göring masterfully summarised his testimony with the chilling reminder that “Der Sieger wird immer der Richter und der Besiegte stets der Angeklagte sein” ("The victor will always be the judge and the vanquished the accused").
In summary, enough is enough. It's time to stop beating a dead horse. Stop fanning the leftist liberal 'SOCI' (for that was the popular term for socialists, back in Germany's 1930s) flames and let's get on with life in the present moment! We have enough things on our cultural plate to worry about without being accused of being 'closet Nazis' every time we turn around!
One final thing: What is termed 'Anti-semitism' is a gross misnomer. The proper term should be 'Anti-Jewish' or 'Anti-Zionist', since the term 'semite' applies to all peoples of the Southwest Asian region and therefore unjustly impugns the entire range of Arab peoples, none of whom are Jewish.
They refuse to show comments that are contrary to their views. I have tried repeatedly over many months with no success. I use no improper language. It is scandalous. Someone needs to be fired.
Shame on you. I felt the discussion with the French Laundry chef was appalling and insensitive to what is occurring today. Parents can’t feed their children, millions are out of work, and many face eviction while this chef feels it important to give people (rich people) an “experience” dining for $1600.00 a couple. I turned it off because it made me sick. If he said at the end he donated $1400 to their local food bank I would have felt better.
I hope in February (Black History Month) 2021 you will sponsor a series on PBS about the Marching Mothers of the Appalachian Trail. These women marched for two years from 1954-56 in an attempt to get their children who was attending the all colored school in Hillsboro, Ohio to be admitted to the all white school in Hillsboro, Ohio. The children had nowhere to go because the all colored school had been set on fire and it burned to the ground. The case ended up in the United States Supreme Court, where the late US Supreme Court Judge Thurgood Marshall ( who did not argue the case) provided legal guidance to the lawyers who argued the case on behalf of the Marching Mothers. This was the first Northern desegregation case in the North and the second desegregation case in the country. I hope to be an consultant on this story and maybe future stories from the Appalachian Trail.
In the interests of transparency, I was looking through the cpb.org website for staff and officer salaries. It surprised me to find that there is little to no information about what the staff and officers are paid, and since this organization is entirely funded by taxes, it should be somewhat easier to determine how those tax dollars are spent. I see that 5% of total revenues are allocated to administration costs, but further details are lacking. Where can one find this information?
I'm wondering why the "Cobra" series is censored. The swear words are muted out and it really detracts from the show. All the sudden dialogue dips out. It's really annoying and it shouldn't be. Please stop doing that. It's ridiculous.
I wanted to comment on the debates last night and in general. I find that there is a remarkably limited variety of commentary going on, not a wide range of discussions like I am used to. I used to watch the MacNeil/Lehrer Newshour. What I really liked about it is that one got a very wide variety of perspectives on things. There were great discussions and one could always rely on the fact that you were going to learn something new and be enlightened. Even if you didn't necessarily agree with a person's opinion or their take on their subject, you got a different perspective on it. What is different now is that it seems to be all of the same perspectives and it is a shame. Judy Woodruff is the managing editor of the NewsHour and she was a contributor to the MacNeil/Lehrer Newshour significantly. She knows very well about the mechanisms of having a varied perspective and point of view is practiced in journalism. I'm very disappointed in Ms. Woodruff and the whole operation. It seems to be very amateurish. You have people who appear to be very biased and it's clear when you listen to them that they hold these partisan views. It's very discouraging and I personally don't wish my tax money to be going to this operation and I intend to make it known.
