NPR's tweet on former Prime Minister Abe was repulsive. I had previously ignored criticism of NPR because I thought of it as criticism by the ultra right. I am a Liberal Democrat and I hate to admit it but they were correct. I will NEVER donate money again and will support the defunding of NPR

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.

Partisan news broadcasting by NPR!!
Gentlemen ~ For years I have been seeing NPR turn into nothing but a propaganda arm of the Democratic Party. NPR (National Public Broadcasting) is NOT objective or neutral with their broadcasting. For years I have hoped more people would be vocal about taking the powers that be at NPR "to the woodshed" and put the hammer on them to quit their less than objective broadcasting. But I'm sure the Democratic Party "owns" NPR. Today (07-08-2022) their reporting of the assassination of the Japanese official with their comment beginning with "divisive arch- conservative" was totally uncalled for especially when a deceased person CANNOT RESPOND. To begin a news article with a political statement just shows what a Democratic arm NPR has turned into!! Totally Classless but so predictable. CUT THEIR FUNDS OFF UNTIL THEY BECOME AN OBJECTIVE NEWS STATION!!!!!
Confusion
"We welcome all comments about public media and its services. However, CPB does not produce, broadcast or distribute programming and is prohibited from interfering with editorial and programming decisions related to public television and radio stations."
So then what the Fuck do you do, and can I have my tax dollars back???
Utah Insight
I was watching a program today about water use in Utah. Aquafers were mentioned, but I would like to understand why we have not heard getting water from areas where water is in abundance. The western states all are going through droughts, and demand is continuing to increase. If we can get oil through pipelines, why not water? Israel is getting it out of the Sea Our previous governor tried to instigate it, why not now? I look forward to a response, Fred K*********k, f********7@gmail.com.
Finding your roots
It's a shame that such a well produced and interesting show as Finding Your Roots is that I will no longer watch it. It is disproportionately represented by guests that are liberal. I'd be fine watching if even a fraction of the guests were middle or right but it's out of hand. And it uses public funds!!
Lastly Louis Gate, who is excellent seems to convince his guests that they and their ancestors have been or are victims. Yet all of his guests are successful to the point of being elite.
Because of the out y balance political social liberal leanings and the portrayal and creation of the victim class, Sadly I'm out and won't watch it.
music content of morning classical at (AM Mondays
I'm a regular listener and contributor in Asheville. I just suffered through George Gershwin's "Clap Yo Hands" because the host thought,"the lyrics would be considered racially cringy- it's a good tune though". I have just 3 words for this- cut it out! - or you won't get any more money from me. Tom P***t
Support for CPB.
Years ago, your reporting was educational and inspiring...much needed and great fun. It has devolved into woke left wing propaganda. At a dinner conversation Saturday night, I revealed that I visited my estate attorney, removing CPB from my will, and redistributing the funds to Republican interests in retaliation. Of interest, several couples remarked they had done, or were in the process of doing the same. Defund NPR/CPB is now of interest. Nice job. Paul B*****n Cleveland OH
KNOWING WHERE THE PROBLEM IS
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FROM LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ; DID NOT KNOW WHAT THEY REALLY HAD GOING ON IN THEIR COUNTRY. WHEN KENNEDY WAS TOO RUN IT WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS GOING TO CAUSE PROBLEM FROM HIS FATHER'S DAYS WITH THE IRISH MAFIA WHEN HE BROUGHT BOOZE IN FROM CANADA, THRU THE TUNNELS UNDER NEW YORK. AS A RESULT MADE 400 MILL. THE ITALIANS NEVER WANTED RHE IRISH MOB TO GET AHEAD OF THEM AND THE FOUGHT DURING FDR'S PRESIDENCY. WHAT THEY SAID WOULD HAPPEN IT DID, THE GAMBINO CRIME FAMILY DON IN NEW ORLEANS TOOK THE CONTROL OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY THE KENNEDY'S HAD AND YOU ARE NOW JUST REALIZING IT SOME 60 OR MORE YEARS LATER. THAT CAUSED REAGAN TO BECOME A REPUBLICAN. WHEN ASKED WHY HE LEFT, REAGAN SAID ON TV CAMERA IN 6 O CLOCK NEWS, " IT IS SUICIDE TOO BE A DEMOCRAT." NOT GIVING THE PEOPLE ENOUGH AND THE RIGHT AND TRUE INFORMATION WAS THE METHOD THE US GOVERNMENT CHOSE UNDER HOOVER AND YOU ARE NOW SEEING THE RESULT IF OVER 60 YEARS OF CORRUPTION IN WASHINGTON D C. THE GOOD THING IS ENOUGH PEOPLE SEE IT AND IT CAN ONLY WORK FOR THEM AS LONG AS NO ONE KNOWS IT. THAT HAS BEEN BLOWN WAY OUT OF THE PARK AND PEOPLE OF ALL RACES HAVE BEEN STATING THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAS BECOME TOO CORRUPT TOO EXIST THE WAY IT IS.
Bias
I used to watch McNeil/Lerher Newshour because it presented conservative and liberal views. It ceased being unbiased when the two founders died . I wish there was actually a conservative viewpoint represented from perhaps someone beside the NYTimes and Washington Post, neither of which represent any type of conservative consensus.
npr / pbr news
I am writing to you concerning your news outlets. it is beyond me why half the nation or more who are not liberals are forced to give their taxpayer money to your news outlets like the news hour that is literally liberal news for liberals. I watched cnn once an objective professional news outlet turn into a liberal rag that is basically a joke in the industry and we are watching pbs and npr sail away in the same manner. if you are going to employ mostly liberals in your news programs, then for god sakes hire a couple of adults to keep them from floating away with the news programs. they are little more than another liberal news outlet complimenting nbc, cbs and abc. just post the news. keep the editorializing out of the news. every so called news person gives a long personal view before they give a twisted explanation of the current news depending on the liberal talking points of the day that they pass on. pbs news hour has become just another liberal rag. so so sad. just producing news for liberal weathy white people gets old fast and does a huge disservice to the nation.

Memorial Day Concert 2022
Greetings - I reside in DC and thoroughly enjoy watching the National Memorial Day Concert, which is broadcast live on Sunday evening and then rebroadcast Monday evening. I enjoy watching on the actual date of Memorial Day to honor our heroes. My Mother resides in Michigan and was eagerly looking to watch Monday evening. We were dismayed to learn that the only times it was scheduled that day was at 12:30 am and 2 am. Please request that PBS stations show this concert on Memorial Day. It's a wonderful program with touching tributes that need to be shared several times so that all may pay tribute. Thank you for your consideration. K***y B***e
Promos for PBS between programs
I am convinced I would send my local PBS station a membership donation if PBS would consider stopping those endlessly run PBS promos that must target fifteen year olds. They are loud, jarring, puerile in content and driven by the most obnoxious musical accompaniment. PBS broadcasts such great programs, only to diminish the viewing experience by forcing viewers to repeatedly watch these moronic promos. It makes no sense, unless your prime audience consists of hysterical adolescents. And your between program promos on Create? Have any of them been changed in twenty years? All those grape tomatoes? Brazil 66? Please help!
Nova Universe Revealed
Too many narrators interrupting story line along with too much background music interrupting the narrators. PBS (Diversities child) what a scientific fiasco.
Sunday edition announcer
After listening to npr for forty years I am leaving you. The new announcer on Sunday mornings has a horrible, “screeching” voice, especially when she is the least bit emotional. I’ve tried to get used to it for over a month now, but I can’t. I understand npr has a problem with hiring diverse employees that mirror our very diverse general populations, but must it be someone whose voice is incredibly irritating? Surely you can do better…
Hearings covered on ABC NEWS 6/21/2022
While watching National News w/David Muir last night on local ABC station out of OKC, while people were talking (Shay and her Mom from GA), Pro Trump chants were super imposed over their voices with Stop The Steal and other pro trump yelling. Sounded like rioters had entered the building yelling. Went on entire time of Jonathon Carls reporting. This was 5:30 pm ABC KFOR news, watching in Mustang, OK. Was no one else disturbed over this?!?!?!
Finding Your Roots
I watch this program every week and have noticed that it seems to focus heavily on African Americans, much more than the percentage of the US population that they represent. Yet, Irish Americans, a big immigrant group, seems to be under reported. It would seem that the show should focus more on representing different ethnic groups, based on their percent of the US population. That would be a fair benchmark. That way, no group would be over exposed at the expense of another important group.
non-believers forced to support religious broadcasting
I am an agnostic, but I am forced to support religious broadcasting in my cable TV package. This is flat-out unconstitutional!
Abortion
I hope you will give this comment to Judy ,she will retire in the End of 2022. I wish you make public this fair Question.Abortion is in most cases more than survival for Woman. Rape ,Incest ,young woman not knowing the Consequences......If there mostly man I believe take the Right away from all this woman and believe abortion should not take place to help this Woman ....I respect their OPINION. BUT.....Then all this Man or Persons should pay for the cost raising this not yet born (unwanted Children, life tread to this mothers.) Furthermore help with this Children as soon as they are born. I know this Man or Priest are all TALK, but non of this people feel responsible. A shame that this people create so much Misery for mostly helpless Woman...and force to became Criminals by some states LAW. All Person make this Laws and and preachers should protect this woman but none will ever help, except they have a Family Member get Mention Problems. I wonder If PBS will ask people to see how wrong this Pros are.I hope you are for PEOPLE as you claim.
