Why on earth would you give Peter Navarro a soapbox? He didn’t answer Judy’s questions. Why didn’t she cut him off?
Reporting Bias
I used to watch the McNeil - Lehrer without fail. It was superb and about as unbiased as one can expect. Today the 'news' reported is highly selective and is basically an extension of the Left and the Democratic Party. Honestly , it is rather pathetic and a joke trying to pose as 'journalism.' Today , I might watch it for a few minutes just to see the thinking/propaganda of the liberal establishment. Then I turn it off.
Unfortunately there is no TV news that even tries to offer objectivity. PBS, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN are conventional Left and Fox is conventional Right with MSNBC being far Left. PBS could provide a real service by reporting the news like in the old days and then have a segment of balanced political pundits for the remaining hour of the segment. Of course, that will not happen, PBS is committed to its Leftist focus.
Too bad. With very few exceptions (again when it ventures into the political realm) PBS offers excellent- the best on TV.

Voter Fraud
Will CPB report on California voter fraud?

Hello. I watch Judy Woodruff and I am almost stricken with Mark Shields inability to hold to the subject and the way he wonders. Is there anything you can do to help him with his elderlyness and his message. He is no longer a good reciprocal partner with David Brooks and doesn't even begin to meet the intellectual capacity of Brooks.
Very loud programs/commercials in-between programs.
While watching programs on Dayton Ohio Think tv, Channel 16/14 via antenna on a daily basis, the volume of the upcoming programs or commercials if you want to call them that, are tremendously, tremendously loud once the program has ended. So much so that I have to lower the volume a great deal ahead of the ending of the current program to eliminate the blaring high volume. While I have loved PBS for ages, I'm not so much in love with this huge volume issue.
Thank you for your time and your great public service.
Political content
You are funded primarily with 445 mil. federal tax dollars. You allow very left leaning programs much politically charged with the Democratic agenda As a tax payer I resent the use of tax dollars to allow any political content unless it is documented truth, not someones personal take on any situation, or a sometimes not so subtle condemnation of the present administration The only reason I have at all for watching PBS is some of the BBC's better offerings , in deference to a political hack or four bozos with big hats, cowboy boats and a guitar to fill the void.
PBS Newshour - Judy Woodruff
Hello,
I've noticed Judy Woodruff has not been hosting the PBS Newshour for the past 2 evenings (starting Monday, July 13, 2020); it's been hosted by Amna Nawaz. Why? Ms. Nawaz does a good job, but I very much prefer Ms. Woodruff. There is something about Ms. Woodruff's calm, self-composed, reassuring, clearheaded demeanor which allows her to ask probing questions while still maintaining a distance, an apparent objectivity, and a professionalism, that is extremely rare in journalism. Also, I see Ms. Woodruff as having earned, in what was a male-dominated profession, and continuing to deserve, her anchor position - I am concerned that ageism and/or reverse discrimination attitudes in PBS and the wider world may now be working against her. Ms. Nawaz is young, and she may, with experience, sound a tad less judgmental when interviewing guests (she projects no obvious party bias - just a slightly judgmental tone) - but I say, let Ms. Woodruff anchor until she doesn't want to or can't - like any of the famous male anchors before her.
RIOTS

Tonight on Judy Woodruff's report, Lisa Desjardins said that a pardon is technically for someone that has already served their sentence. When Richard Nixon was pardoned by Gerald Ford he had not served a sentance. It is unclear and ambigious what she said. Please clarify this.
Wyoming PBS liberal bias
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for reading my comments. 07/24 I turned 65, a 20-year resident of Wyoming. What happened? Where is journalism without left bias? Report the news and let me decide thank you very much; we’re not idiots that need you to explain it to us.
Sit and Be Fit
I watch Sit and Be Fit all the time and I enjoy the program a lot. I just wanted to let you know that viewers enjoy it and we don't want to see it go away.
Possible program
Last year while in Gothenburg, Sweden I visited the Rohsska museum. . They had a an exhibition concerning the environment. I watched a film there about the life of a plastic bag. It was moving. In fact I cried at the end. The film was in English. Since then, I have often thought that this film would be fabulous shown on PBS, as it would educate so many about plastic bags and just what becomes of them. Perhaps, people will reconsider their use, after seeing this thought provoking film. Thank you for your consideration to this request, Barbara Samuels
NPR Editorial
I would like to see if anyone could do an investigation of NPR. The words that they're using contains a lot of bias, unconscious bias. The host of the program Latino USA said that someone's mother "went back to Mexico because she was so tired of being undocumented." I fully understand the circumstances. However, I don't think she could be "tired of being undocumented" because she wasn't supposed to be here from the very start. It's very interesting the wording that they use. It creates an unconcious bias of liberalism.
Agenda
So tell me why I should let my tax dollars fund public broadcasting when it is very left leaning in its views and shows? I thought journalism was supposed to be non-biased.....doesn't appear that way
