DEAR JUDY WOODRUFF I want to compliment you and the rest of the PBS Newshour staff on your excellent and measured response and reporting in the worst political scene in my living memory (I am 76 yrs old and a PBS Newshour groupie since the 1970s!) Forgive me if I am murdering the spelling of both YOUR name and that of Yamiche Alcindor, but I want to deeply compliment her on both her calm demeanor and her persistence when she questioned DJ Trump (I refuse to call him President) about his affinity for the white racism movement aka "white nationalism". and I really appreciated that you (Judy) stood up for her in the interview with the trump spokeswoman, KellyAnn, HATS OFF TO YOU BOTH, and all your other great staff, hang in there!!

San Diego KPBS
Hello,
I have been a VERY LONG TERM SUPPORTER of KPBS. I am neither a Republican nor a Democrat, and as an Independent, I have always enjoyed KPBS and NPR news stories as well as educational coverage.
However, since Trump has taken office, KPBS has fully abandoned it very mission to provide NON POLITICALLY motivated news to the community. I am VERY OFFENDED by KPBS's recent decision to fully tilt EVERY SINGLE NEWS STORY towards being Trumps fault. I did not vote for Trump, I do not support his ideas, but it is ABSOLUTELY statistically improbable to have EVERY SINGLE NEWS STORY be Trumps fault. This has ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED my belief in KPBS as an important news outlet, one which I have financially supported and which I have touted to friends as being very important for our community.
The RELENTLESS attacks against the Trump administration and Republicans is OFFENSIVE. I now doubt EVERY SINGLE NEWS STORY which comes from KPBS because it is %100 clear that KPBS has absolutely decided to push the Democratic Political Agenda. This has POISONED KPBS's WELL and by default, KPBS's credability!!!
IT is %100 clear KPBS is poisoned because of the repeated twisting of words, use of comments out of context, constant insinuations, devious introduction of feeling based commentary, and flat out FALSE quotes/lies which are presented to the public repeatedly through out every single day. The news that comes through the radio is very important to the community, but when KPBS decides to specifically push Democratic Political Agenda, it destroy's KPBS's reputation of being impartial and provides Trump validation for his efforts in cutting off your funding.
Why can't KPBS take the high road as it has done so many times in the past? Instead KPBS has taken the Republican's bait and fully jumped off the cliff. KPBS has a FUNDAMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY to remain impartial, by ignoring that responsibility, KPBS has become FULLY IRRESPONSIBLE. The term "FAKE NEWS" is being legitimized one tilted story at a time. Trumps claim that media is unfair is being validated because of KPBS's childish response to his claims. KPBS is fueling the fire between Democrats and Republicans by choosing a side, and is just as responsible for politically motivated attacks/terrorism as Trumps "rhetoric". How does KPBS not realize their news stories are "rhetoric" also?
Knock it off, people are not that stupid and they hear the political junk which KPBS is pushing to San Diego. Take the high road and stop wallowing in the mud with a pig like Trump. You are systematically proving him correct by allowing democrats to run the show.

Finding Your Roots Gloria Steinem Playboy
On November 10, 2018, I started watching the episode of FYR with Neil Patrick Harris and Gloria Steinem. I was particularly interested in Steinem as I am a 68 year old woman who came of age in the Sixties and Seventies.
When I heard Steinem state that part of her "interview" process to work as a Playboy Bunny included an "internal gynecological exam," I reflexively shouted "Bullshit" at the TV screen.
I worked as a bunny at Playboy from 1971-1972. My interview consisted exclusively and entirely of smiling a lot and reviewing my food service experience with the "Bunny Mother." I don't remember whether I ever interviewed with anyone else -- probably not, given the absence of memory of it. It is unbelievable to me that Steinem or anyone would submit to such an invasive procedure to obtain a job, even in the 1970's. Unbelieveable.
At NO TIME during my employment with Playboy was I sexually harrassed by anyone, neither staff nor guests.
At the time, 1971, well-paying jobs for female college students were nearly non-existent. I chose Playboy on the recommendation of someone who worked there. It was hard work, but I was safe from the sexual harrassment by customers and staff that I had endured at previous food service positions.
Although today I am an adamant opponent of the objectification of women by anyone, male or female, I also strongly oppose sensationalized, highly questionable statements like Ms. Steinem's regarding her interview with Playboy.
Pubs news hour
All things aired on pubs channel 16-2 in corpus Cristi tx. Are horrible. The jobs news hour and Washington week are bias. And mostly based on feminism. I am a make. I disagree. I hate Judy Wodrige. She is a racist. She hates all men. The pubs news sucks and is bias against all who are not feminatzies.
