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'?

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!

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.
Please report fairly

Feedback:
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

Media Blackout
California
Feedback:
I am very concerned about your media blackout of the RFKjr campaign. My belief when I have listened to NPR and contributed in the past is that it would be nonpartisan or political. The RFKjr campaign has been completely ignored in most of it’s reporting on the 2024 election. When it has been mentioned, it has been slandered as “anti-vax” or “conspiracy theorist” with no explanation. This is clearly skewed for political and partisan reasons.
Where is Robert F Kennedy Jr for President Coverage??

Read content here: kennedy24.com
70% of all US voters do not eant a Biden vs. Trump rematch and 52% of US voters are declaring independence from party affiliation. This should be covered by NPR.
The sidelining of Robert Kennedy Jr.
Missouri
Feedback:
I am writing to convey my disappointment at the obvious censuring of the presidential campaign of Robert Kennedy Jr. While CPB is required to maintain a strict nonpartisan and nonpolitical stance in all its activities, it seems odd that NPR continues to ignore the increasing popular campaign of Mr. Kennedy, who, in some states is polling upwards of 25%. This can only be due to a concerted and coordinated effort to censure Mr. Kennedy from your programming. As a longtime listener of NPR, I encourage CPB to stick to its own principles and support the democratic process by covering Mr. Kennedy's campaign.

Feedback:
I’ve been a supporter of NPR for many years and an enthusiastic listener.
Your lack of coverage of RFKJr is very upsetting. When you do mention him - every time I’ve heard it mentioned like this “ conspiracy theorist Robert Kennedy”.
It’s shameful that you are so blatantly being biased. I will no longer be donating and will encourage others to stop as well.

Nonbiased reporting.
Utah
Feedback:
I am shocked and disappointed CPB has been completely ignoring Robert Kennedy Jr’s presidential campaign. CPB is supposed to unbiased and nonpartisan. Ignoring that this is a three horse race and that Kennedy’s favorability is higher than Biden or Trump. Americans deserve to be informed so that people elect the next president and not the media or corruption in govt. We expect higher standards so that we don’t devolve into a completely govt media controlled state which indicate we have ceased to be a democracy and instead have become an autocracy. Please protect the Constitution and give fair and balanced coverage to all candidates.

Dear NPR, I did not need an essay by Uri Berliner to see the degradation of balanced journalism by NPR. I am all for diversity, equity and inclusion but this is not it. Until things improve and news coverage returns to the middle, I will not contribute to funding you and will encourage others to do likewise. There are other and better alternatives which I now use. Best, M****m W. R********t

PBS Passport
Maryland
Feedback:
I recently had a frustrating experience trying to work with CPB based on how the affiliates are structured. I have donated to WHRO/V in Hampton Roads VA for years when I lived there. I appreciated the programing and donating gave me access to PBS shows on Passport. After moving to the DC area I donated to WAMU expecting that to continue. For reasons I still don't fully understand I've since been told that I would have to donate separately to WETA to get passport in this area.
I know no one was trying to be misleading. There's no reason WETA/WAMU would know about or share WHRV/WHROs policies, but the different structure left me misled when donating to NPR had very different results in the different regions.

Liberal bias
California
Feedback:
Sirs. The recent editorial regarding the liberal leaning nature of NPR equally applies to PBS. We are regular viewers on the News Hour at dinner and are repeatedly struck by the slanted reporting and bias viewpoints of the “experts”. Not subtle. I would suggest getting commentary from someone other academics. Real word working people often have equally valuable ideas. Respectfully. David T******n. Monterey California
