Your Feedback

The idea you let the far left person represents your organization is a disgrace.

I'm calling in regards to PBS Kids - the Arthur show. I was just watching this show with my son. I just want to say that I'm offended on what I just saw. I do not appreciate hearing for 15 minutes about how I have to be anti-racist. My son is four years old. He's trying to be a kid right now. For some reason, this narrative that somehow grew on the left of the political spectrum, is now working its way into PBS Kids. The fact that you guys get hundreds of millions of dollars from taxpayers money, my money. It's not your right to shove a political narrative down the throats of children that are too young to know what you're doing. It would make sense if the statistics were true and African Americans were being disproportionately treated with racism daily, but they're not. Not statistically. Racism exists but not to the wide degree that the left is trying to push right now. We have an election going on right now, and after years of this show being on air this narrative shows up. It's appalling that you guys have to jump on the bandwagon with no regard to parents. 

Everytime I come across her reporting or questioning officials, she shows her lack of knowledge, and you should be embarrassed to have her represent you. And as a taxpayer I find it egregious that the public pays for this . You should be better than supporting someone who is just asinine.

When I was 19 years old and in college, I, a Cuban young woman (nacida y criada en Cuba) who prided herself on speaking Americanized English, worked at a college library to put myself through college (something that most college kids refuse to do nowadays). The college librarian one day said to me, "Would you mind calling Miami for me? I hate having to call down there. They can barely speak English." She didn't know I had been born in Cuba.

In typical "PBS leftist belief," that comment would have been considered a crime that terminally injured my "feelings," and therefore perfect for StoryCorps or some anti-American documentary geared to "explain" how evil America and its people are to minorities.

Please know that when the librarian said that to me, I agreed with her 100%! Refugees to any country should be legal, but not only that. They should also never refuse learning and education, and in particular should never ignore (or refuse to learn) the language of the country that offered them safety.

PBS does minorities no favors by encouraging or excusing their flaws, or by disabusing others of the idea that they should be expected to excel.

A few days ago I decided to return to PBS for a few days to watch your current programs, and I found that except for the English programs from the BBC, more than 50% of what you air, are anti-American programs. It's the reason I had ceased watching PBS altogether and discourage others from watching it.

Thank God I ignored your leftist beliefs back then. If I hadn't, I might have today been rioting for nothing other than manufactured mainstream media racism.

Thank you for listening. Hopefully, you will listen to those of us who are refugees, and believe that Communism and Socialism are evils that destroy countries, and who believe in promoting excellence rather than excusing mediocrity and blaming the U.S.

I used to watch as I considered it to be the most centrist news show. It's too biased to watch anymore.

Could you political coverage of the Republican Convention be any more biased? You're supposed to report the news. You're a taxpayer funded organization, yet you're a mouth for the Democratic scumbag party. All you people are disgusting. It's disgusting to sit her and listen to you. I demand you return all taxpayer funds. You disgusting human beings. You're not even human beings. That would be a compliment. My god you people are sick. 

I chose PBS to watch the Republican National Convention Monday night because I though it would be fair, being publicly funded. I was sadly disappointed. Many of the speeches and films were omitted by PBS. What is worse, the producers chose to cut away from many speeches, using the time to frame each speech in a negative way. Instead of analysis, commentators gave a rebuttal to what had just been said. The result was that PBS viewers were denied many of the strongest speeches of the evening, including Andrew Pollack, father of Meadow who was killed in Parkland, and Georgia Democrat representative Vernon Jones, who gave an impassioned defense of his planned vote for Trump. I conclude that you did not want those messages to be heard. You called Donald Trump, Jr’s speech “angry,” yet some of his warnings were illustrated by your own network: censoring the RNC convention and changing the who tenor, tone, and effectiveness of the presentations. You illustrated the dangers of “cancel culture.”

I have seen an increasing leftist bias at PBS and CPB. The worst part is your use of lies and exaggerations, unchecked by Judy Woodruff or others on the panel. Yamiche Alcindor dishonestly said that Donald Trump said “there were fine people” among the white Nazis at Charlottesville. He never said that. He said there were “fine people on both sides,” referring to those local residents who wanted to preserve their historical statues on the one side, and those who wanted to demonstrate against racism on the other side. There were truly fine people on both sides, and Ms. Alcindor grossly misrepresented this and many others facts. In response, Judy Woodruff praised her skills as a reporter. Needless to say, Ms. Alcindor is not an unbiased news reporter but a political pundit of the worst sort (a liar).

There were many other lies and distortions offered by Woodruff and others on the panel, but the above examples provide representative samples.

I am very unhappy to see my tax dollars going to support leftist ideology as you do in many of your programs. I would never personally support PBS unless it seriously reforms its policies toward neutrality.

I'm calling to give you feedback on your public television reporting. From my opinion, it's completely biased and it has continued to become more and more biased over the years. I am no longer donating in any form to public television. I have donated in the past over the years. I will not be watching. I will not be donating in any way or form because I believe that your reporting is completely biased and its out of control. I would vote for any defunding of public television of my tax dollars as well. I think you guys need to evaluate your programming. Maybe stay from these topics if you can't resist the biased nature of them. I believed in public television being a good service. It helped children and families in the past, but you're completely off the mark. It's being going on for too long. You get a big thumbs down from me and other people that I know. It's becoming more and more evident. You're done. 

I think that Judy Woodruff has crossed the line a long time ago! She is obviously a Democrat and Trump Hater! I will not or contribute to watch PBS because of her biased commentary. I think that Judy, Mark Shields and David Brooks all need to retire. . .
