Your Feedback

Hi, I wanted to make a comment about Judy Woodruff. I was looking at her today. I’m a regular viewer of the PBS NewsHour. I was watching Judy Woodruff, and I don’t know if she had something done to her eyes, or something, but it seemed like her eyebrows slanted downward in an unusual angle, slanted downward toward her nose, an unusual angle. And consequently she kind of had an angry look on her face throughout the show even when she wasn’t saying something that you would think would cause her to be angry. I don’t know whether she had some botox done or something like that, but her eyes looked different from how they usually look, it seemed to me anyway and it did not seem to be a change for the better. I mean, usually Judy Woodruff comes off as a very pleasant person and certainly not an angry person normally but here she had what seemed to be an angry look on her face throughout the program. I don’t know maybe it’s something where whatever was done has to wear off or something or she had her makeup done differently or whatever but as I say it did not seem to be a change for the better it seemed to be a change for the worse. I wonder if somebody would want to look at that and see whether what I seem to notice is really true, that’s just my observation anyway perhaps it’s mistaken but that’s the way it seemed to me from watching her regularly and then watching her tonight. It seemed to be a change in her appearance as I said that did not seem to be a change for the better. Okay, thank you for listening, bye. 

Your "objective coverage" of news events is just to the right of CNN and MSNBC."

The Trump administration can apparently do nothing right.

My contributions to WV Public broadcasting will cease.

 

I’d like to get some information about your production which is called “Lost LA”, meaning Los Angeles. I understand that it was produced by KCET. I live in the San Francisco Bay area. I happened to catch it on television, but I don’t know where it was and then I heard from an ad that they were starting a new series. I can’t get it and I can’t get anybody to let me know how to find it. I wanted to find out if it is possible or if its available through the library to rent.

Dear CPB, I have previously written the Ombudsman on this topic, but observe that RT is still being broadcast after it has been clearly established that it is under the direct control of Vladimir Putin as a propaganda tool for the Russian government. Why on earth does public television still broadcast this channel?

I would like to know the justification for blocking access to PBS shows for viewers outside fo the US. I am an American citizen that spends most of my time overseas working. I was very disappointed that I could not even view the Ken Burns trailer for Vietnam. I would appreciate an explanation of the justification used to block access for IP addresses outside of the US.

Vietnam was not a war. Only congress can declare war, and they never did. At no time during the POLICE ACTION did this happen. Why can't you get this wright. You do you and everyone else get this right.

The excessive length of including Trump's news conference was unconscionable. It violated the separation of reporting the news vs making the news and in doing so gave Trump a soapbox he did not deserve. Many clips of the n-c throughout the day made it well known. A clip by Rose to introduce J. Green would have been more than sufficient.

Hi. I just had a suggestion for you guys, I saw that you recently, I don’t know how recently, engulfed the Crash Course series on YouTube which is a series that I enjoy, and I saw that you’re also releasing a series using one of the same people for something called Ions that’s going to be available on YouTube. All of these things would be things that I’d be interested in being able to listen to as I go throughout my day. The problem is that I don’t have time to sit down and actually watch a YouTube video. Instead It would be so much more helpful for me to be in Podcasting form. So I just wanted to suggest that perhaps you guys think about using the same series doing the same stuff you’re doing but make them podcast friendly.  And for technical reasons, just having the YouTube video playing while I listen wouldn't’t really work. It would literally have to be an audio file that I could hear. So, that would be really helpful to me, I would appreciate you guys considering that. So thank you so much, bye. 

Hi I’m not sure if I’m calling the right line or what, but I’m watching channel KLTM which is calling KLTM which is a Louisiana public broadcast station and the audio has been out for two days. So I’ve been trying to figure out why and who I need to report that to.  I reported it to my cable company, but they said since the audio is working on every other station other than this one, it’s not really their problem.

Which of course they would say that. But I was just wondering if there is a problem with KLTM which is again the Louisiana Public Broadcasting station that I watch.  Anyway my name is XXXX XXXX. Thank you, bye. 

Fireworks show was terrible. You should have used one camera showing the whole scene without so many interruptions. Some cameras were way to close and all you could see were the fireworks flying up, but no explosions, no colors. Others you could only see part of the explosions. Very poor.

Hi, my comment: the “Sit and Be Fit” program it’s on television with Mary Ann Wilson is a wonderful program and it’s helped me a lot. I wanted to make that comment. Thank you. 

My husband and I faithfully watched the PBS Newshour for more than 40 years. Even when we lived in the UK for 3 years, we had tapes of it sent to us from the US. We've now stopped watching because the presentations on policy issues are so one-sided. Over the past decade the Newshour and NPR have become political interpreters and advocates for "Liberal Establishment" positions. Increasingly, the producers and editors omit describing opposing views of controversial issues. Too often PBS' producers fail to present BOTH SIDES of issues, particularly, economic effects and implications for all taxpayers. Issues are too often discussed only in terms of anecdotal stories that imply that nationwide policy should be determined by these singular pathetic stories. An aggregious example of this is the use of the Kaiser Family Foundation which promotes one point of view. Most of the time, alternate views are not given. The only exception to PBS' one-sidedness are Paul Solman's Making Sen$e reports. In total, PBS now fails to offer professional objective journalism. We no longer support taxpayer funding for PBS.

The Tunnel season 2 is being advertised on Vermont Public Television, New Hampshire Public Television and New York’s Mountain Lake Public Television, but nobody is carrying it. What’s up with that? Why do you advertise shows that nobody’s carrying, even on their websites? 

My client wants to leave money to PBS. How should I word the gift?

The 34 of us that contribute annually primarily to our local PBS have decided that if NOVA, or any other program on PBS, EVER EMPLOYS "KIRK JOHNSON" (supposedly affiliated with N.M.N.H.) AGAIN TO PRESENT OR NARRATE A-N-Y PROGRAMMING ON PBS, WE WILL END OUR GIVINGS TO ANYTHING RELATED TO PUBLIC BROADCASTING. This person should NOT be in front of a camera, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME. Please make note of our strong objections, AND NAUSEA FROM "KIRK JOHNSON." Thank you very much.

I am concerned about a PBS plan to air a three-hour “documentary" called Schools Inc. that tells a very one-sided story of school privatization. It is anti-public education propaganda. The film was produced by the Libertarian Cato Institute (which supported Betsy DeVos as Education Secretary) and got funding by extreme right-wing conservative foundations.

I believe this is an assault on public education. As a public teacher for 37 years, AND having direct experience of the failure of privatization of schools in Michigan specifically (DeVos), I know how allowing education to become a business for profit is a travesty for the improvement of education for all.

I request, even demand, that PBS also broadcast former Assistant Education Secretary Dianne Ravitch's response, and air the documentary "Backpack Full of Cash" that tells the truth about privatizing our public schools.
I have supported AND marched for the continuation of federal budgeting for PBS because I have for 35 years enjoyed the diversity and quality of programming. I hope that you feel that showing both sides AT THE SAME TIME is a responsibility you don't neglect.

I am horrified that you are supporting Betsy Devos's fascist, racist and bigoted de-education policies! You ought to be ashamed if you have any human decency left! I have supported you in the past, but you have become more and more reactionary over the years and this propaganda piece is the final straw! You need to repudiate this grave mistake or i will go on a campaign to insist people no longer give money to your once great organization!

I am currently on medicaid services and wondering how the GOP health care bill will impact citizens, the economy and jobs here. I heard in the CBO report 22 million will lose care.

I would like to support funding for CPB, but your ability to produce anything new and exciting for adults is sorely lacking. Almost all of the shows I watch on our local PBS stations are produced by the Brits. Great mysteries and dramas! What do you guy make besides Sesame Street. Mercy Street was pretty good, Historical drama based in America and produced in Virginia. Aside from this drama -- what is being made in your studios. If the only adult content is going to be British, I might as well use Netflix and forget about PBS.

I was calling to request that the nightly news, the Newshour discuss the manner in which Jim Comey was fired by President Trump. I think it was poorly done. I am shocked. I am dumbfounded.  He didn’t even have the courtesy to let the man be in his office. He’s out in California and he finds out by a news release. This tells me.  I’m just absolutely shocked and I think the news media needs to address this: What is the proper way to fire somebody at that level of government? Thank you.  

Hello,
My name is XXXXX and I think that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting should make a Mary Moo Cow show on PBS Kids just like the Mary Moo Cow show on the Arthur show. Please make a Mary Moo Cow show really soon.

Hi, I just wanted to comment on yesterday’s PBS Newshour: Monday, May 22. I thought it was very interesting at the end of the NewsHour that Judy Woodruff commented that she had given the commencement speech, at I think it was Muhlenberg College, but they did not play a tape of that. They played a tape of the speech given by the student, who I guess was Arab, she seemed to be anyway. And Judy complimented her. And I guess that goes to what seems to be Judy’s humble and self-effacing nature which is very unusual in that business and very refreshing too. It’s another reason to like Judy Woodruff. One among many. Okay, thank you for listening. Bye. 

Dear Ms. Woodruff, 

The News Hour and Public Television in general are the two reasons why I subscribe to cable service. Let me put that into perspective: as an independent artist in my sixties, I make ends meet by teaching part time at the local university, and my every expenditure is mulled over. 

The News Hour has always practiced reliable, in-depth journalism with the highest standards.  Yet under your leadership, it's reaching new heights of creative, inspiring, and  thought-provoking content. For many years I've listened to NPR daily, and I applaud the inclusion of radio journalists on  the News Hour; it's interesting to see them in action.

The periodic features, "In My Humble Opinion" and "My Brief But Spectacular Moment" are priceless additions.

It's been great to watch you getting more relaxed and natural in your role; you seem to evince a new level of authenticity, and it suits you very well.

With  admiration and appreciation,

 

Dear The Corporation For Public Broadcasting,

I like your support for PBS Kids. I like your web sites. Hope you're doing well.

Hello,
I read that the current administration might stop/limit future funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting/PBS in the near future. Will the Corporation for Public Broadcasting/PBS possibility follow the lead of The BBC or CBC to rent out their facilities(studios,etc.),create an on demand web site for their series, possibility ask the American public to donate $3.00 a year on their taxes(325 million Americans x $3.00=975 million dollars) for Corporation for Public Broadcasting/PBS programs? This along with other items/ideas can help save the Corporation for Public Broadcasting/PBS for future Americans. Thank You!

For many years I have appreciated the unique programming on PBS radio stations. I hope the Trump administration is NOT successful in its efforts to cut Federal funding from the CPB.

I am a sustaining member. I do not donate alot, but do so regularly, and for a number of years. Tonight I gave some thought to cancelling my sustaining membership. I watched the first possibly 50 minutes of the Ken Burns Storyteller story. I spoke to some friends informed them of the program, they changed stations and we watched for almost another hour together. The period from about 50 minutes into the story and going for more than another hour was more solitictiation for donations than it was program. I actually walked out and turned the tv off in disgust at PBS. Never before have I felt this way. Donations and pledge drives are necessary, I understand that. What you put before your audience tonight was worse, really worse than, Hallmark or CBS at their worst. I have learned, and now expect much more from PBS/KQED. What you did tonight breaks my heart. Do it once more and I WILL cancel my sustaining membership.

The news you report on NPR is biased. Its nice to know that heads will roll!

Like so many other programs that rely on "Public (tax $'s) Funds. That crutch might not be there forever. I personally have never [sought out] or used any of your services, & yet I pay for them through my taxes. Companies like yours need to realize that we as tax payers cant continue to pay for things that we do not use. Start charging your clients for your services, just like other business do.
If you can survive great if not maybe it was not needed in the 1st place.

Likely budget cuts suggest it's time for PBS to depend less on govt money. I hope you are not waiting for the axe to fall before making outside-the-box changes. I am a listener/viewer and supporter for many years but seems like govt money has allowed unsustainable expansion in every direction. Do you really need to broadcast 24x7? Are so many stations really nexessary in a single area? And with streaming it seems a lot of infrastructure could be eliminated. PBS has become a forum for weeks long commercials for every 'health' evangelist on earth, many of them questionable (Amen at the top of the list) all spouting the same information. Why not turn off PBS for a two week period and post a pledge message on screen. With nothing worthwhile to watch, maybe folks will cut loose their green. And how about selling DVDs of the early (1980s) sessme street programs. They were great. Everyone should watch them. Self sustaining must be your plan going forward. start now!

PBS is precious to me, as an 80-year-old grandmother. I had raised three children in sometimes desperate poverty. With only a 13-inch, black and white television set,
PBS opened the world to my children.

In the early 1940s, kindergarten was not available to my siblings and me. It took me three years to catch up with my classmates who had attended kindergarten, just because learning materials were unavailable. My own children entered school at least one year ahead of their classmates. They all won college scholarships. One child was not able to complete college because of health problems. My grandchildren are presently in college or will all attend college. All of them have high grade point averages. Most of them are "A" students. Awakening a burning desire to learn is the greatest benefit of early childhood education.

Since my children are racially mixed, the diversity of people and places presented on PBS helped them to establish strong self-images.

Please keep up the good fight to protect federal funding for PBS.

I recently watched a couple of episodes of Daniel Tiger with my grandson. Story evidently is attractive for children. I noticed this: The pronunciation of certain words
could be better as the children are going to repeat what they hear. There are two glaring errors that came across in the show that I watched. Who ever is doing the voice over is saying "your" where the sentence or phrase calls for "you're" or 'you are". And when they are evidently supposed to be saying "they're" or they are, your voice over is being pronounced as "there". Though the nuance is not huge, it should be distinguishable as children listening to it are going to grow up thinking they're
pronouncing the words correctly.

While my family both contributes and supports the PBS News Hour!! In spite of our financial hardships! because this show is WORTH IT!!! with its Unique, Fair, and Just Appraisals, and seemingly Unbiased Intellectual Perspectives!!! on an incredible wide range of worldly topics and events!! Both without ever trying to be Condescending or Entertaining, like the majority of our local news stations, So SADLY Do!!! in their efforts for higher ratings! which to us, TRULY Tarnishes the whole local news Credibility of Being Fair and Impartial!!! Enough to give us the FACTS!! of a story and/or have Comprehensive questions on current events that affect Our Daily Lives!! Either directly or indirectly .

Unfortunately, the PBS News Hour TOTALLY FAILS!!! in the Humanity!!! to FAIRLY Represent the Country’s Vast Diversity!!! which, became more and more visible as this last election cycle, brought this Reality into the FULL-Light of day . In other words, our intellectual contemplative observational Perspective, of the PBS News Hour’s TOTAL Dis-respectfulness towards the Country’s Citizens of Color!!! and their TOTAL DISCRIMINATION of everyone who is NOT White!! through your media’s Major Decision Maker’s who ONLY have a myopic-vision of the news!! that Totally DISMISSES the Views, Opinions, Voices, and Perspectives of others who are NOT White!! in the election process!!! which surprisingly and ultimately helped the Aspiring DICTATOR!!! trump, to win the way he did!! and establish an Unchallenged Perspective of public discourse that was ALLOWED to DISCREDIT Journalists, Reporters, the Intelligence Community, Voters, Judges, Eliminating FREE access to an OPEN INTERNET!! and place a Gag-Order on the EPA to allow republicans the ability to approve fracking, Destroying Protected lands, lay pipelines without restrictions, and drill wells without consequences!! thus allowing all the republican companies quick and easy profits!!! irregardless of the REAL Consequences!!! to Fellow Citizens or OUR Fragile Environment!!! through following his personal copy of “How-to Become the World’s Greatest Dictator”!!! and so far Its WORKING!!! and everyone in the media, with all their resources!!! is Tooooo AFRAID to challenge his Violating Our Constitution!!! as the highest Elected official?!? and his claims of Plausible Denial ability!!! through the position of Executive Privilege! As President!! It may be just US!!! but in today's Reality!! the PBS News Hour, along with other World news organizations! Are Totally GUILTY of arbitrarily TOTALLY ELIMINATED the REAL Voices, Opinions, Views, and Honest Perspectives of Our Diverse Nation .

So in the face of there being this TRUE!! Insult!!! to the Intelligence!! of Fellow Citizen’s, and the PBS News Hour being TRULY DEVOID of the Humanity of African American, Asians, dark-skinned Hispanics NOT Trying to Pass-for-White!!! and Other Minorities on a daily basis!! for the entire 580 Plus Days of the election reporting!! trump was created . In other words, the PBS News Hour was TOTALLY DEVOID of the Challenging Voices of the Minority American Voter!!! there were ABSOLUTELY No regular Experts of Color!! ABSOLUTELY No regular Political Analysts of Color!! Nor ABSOLUTELY No regular Highly Regarded and Respected Journalists of Color!! from any Respected News Paper be it the NY Times, Washington Post, or Others!! or TV Stations like CNN, C-Span, or Others!! that was a regular part of any discussion of the candidate’s! As if these businesses Don’t have Even ONE Equally Qualified Reporter, Journalists, Expert, or Political Analysts within their hundreds of employees?!? thus the PBS News Hour’s Hypocritical Perspective!! was/Is TOTALLY and 99% White!!! as IF No Employee of Color!! has a Valid Opinion, View, or Perspective of any aspect of the election, the Candidate’s, or More Importantly Daily Events . Not ONE of their White Journalists, Reporters, or Political Analysis Ever Thought Like a Minority!! or EVER Walked a Mile in Their Experiences!!! Like Fellow Citizens trying to survive on $34,000.00 salaries or LESS!!! or EVEN tried to pose questions that the Average Citizen!! had and/or wanted FACTUAL Answers to!! in helping them decide the best candidate for Our COUNTRY!!! SADLY!!! the Whole 580 Plus Days of coverage revolved around the perspectives of White people lacking the Humanity to realize the error of Not Being Inclusive!!! of ALL Our Diversity!!! and ONLY counting on the perspectives of those earning salaries comparable to any of your news reporters!!! No Other Perspective of REALITY were EVER Entertained!!! Since White Major Decision Makers still TOTALLY Believe that they have the ONLY Answers!!! which by observation!! EVEN continues Today!! with your REFUSAL to choose an African American to replace Mrs. Gwen Iifel, with a regular African American!! like Mrs. Audie Corins, or Mrs. Zerlina Maxwell, Nor to expand the daily PBS News Hour panel to TRULY Include Mrs. Judy Woodworth, Truly Sharing the spotlight!! with an African American, a Dark-skinned Hispanic, an Asian, and someone from the Muslim community!! to offer their Equally Qualified unique Life-experiences Perspective!!! on the News of the Day !! or a Regular weekly PBS News Hour Political-panel of an African American, a Dark-skinned Hispanic, an Asian, someone from the Muslim community, and a White individual !! to dissect the current Political news and how it Daily AFFECTS our Diverse communities!!! DON’T EVER get us WRONG!!!! we LOVE Mr. Michael Bashloff, Mrs. Marcia Coyle, and Others!!! who ARE TRULY Down-to-Earth!! and Explain stuff REALLY!! Really!! Well!!! They are an Amazing and Treasured BONUS to the broadcast!!! But, Where is the Integration of Real Diversity in your current and Future news reporting!!! Why do you Still Demand the importance of an ONLY White Perspective!! as the ONLY Perspective that is Deemed Valid!!! Why isn’t the Perspectives of Our Diverse Society Equally Valid?!? and Presented?!? Why Do you ONLY seek-out!! White people as supposed EXPERTS?!? What’s WRONG with that picture?!? and Why are you So TOTALLY Unable to ACTUALLY Find!!! Experts who ARE Equally Qualified in that same Field?!? of Law, Business, Politics, or whatever?!? which Are people of Color?!? How is this Blatant Hypocritical Biased Discrimination Still possible in OUR Progressive Diverse Nation!!! where were the investigative questions of Congressional republicans, on their allowing the nominees a FREE-pass!! to be confirmed?!? or their changing the Rules! to SECRETLY pass legislation in the Dark!!! Without any TRUE Transparency?!? or ACCOUNTABILITY to ALL Fellow Citizens . Intelligent Viewers Really Want to KNOW!!! how do you consider those perspectives UNBIASED reporting?!? Without any True Representation!! of ALL OUR Fellow Citizens!! Where ARE the Real FACES of Our Observational Contemplative Perspective’s!! that ACTUALLY Look Like US?!? .

First, I would love to contribute at least $10.00 per month!! however my Voice, Perspective, Opinions, or Views ARE NOT Recognized, Considered, and/or Even RESPECTED!!! as People of DIVERSITY!!! and INDEPENDENT Thought!!! as Exemplified by both the Public Broadcasting Station and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting!!! No matter how Mr. Shapiro, with ALL DUE RESPECT!! keeps trying to spin the Snake-oil pitch. And while this view will never be Fairly presented to the viewing public! Nor more Importantly!! the Voting Board members!! or Shareholders!!! Here is some Food for THOUGHT .

Fact # 1. - on Diversity, in the PBS News Hour giving viewers a Fair!! and Unbiased election coverage?!? They get an “F” due to their MYOPIC One perspective view of candidate’s and Failing English definitions. Meaning, that the News Hour Both Lacks the VOICE of The People!! and More Importantly!! they DISCRIMINATE Against any DIVERSE Observations, or Assessments by Black citizens and/or TRUSTED Black journalists!! Non-white!! Hispanic citizens and/or TRUSTED Hispanic journalists!! or even any Asian citizens and/or TRUSTED Asian journalists!! In these modern years. Why is it ONLY just the White perspective being considered in our diverse nation?!? WHY IS IT all your political panels are TOTALLY Restricted To!!! and ABSOLUTELY REJECTS!! The Fair and Equal Representation of Black Voters, Hispanics NOT Pretending/Passing for White!! Voters, and Asian Voters?!? Especially since those chosen for your daily/weekly panels DO NOT EVER!!! Actually Experience the Diversity of circumstances in other fellow citizen’s daily lives!!! ……..

Fact # 2. - on the issue of seeking Expert commentary, the News Hour gets an “F”, again because they allege that out of ALL the college graduates, MBA’s, Doctors, Journalists, Scientists, Business Leaders, or other Equally Qualified individuals in any career field!! They can ONLY FIND some White person to speak!! Where is the DIVERSE Perspectives?!? Our nation is not all Blue-Eyed and Blond!!! and Hitler is dead by all accounts!!! of intelligent individuals!!! so why ONLY the White Supremacy view in the year 2016 and beyond??? and yes One-quarter of my very close friends are Respected WHITE Individuals!! just so you NEVER EVER Get It Twisted!!!! So we fail to understand why your TOP Rated show still continues to be So TOTALLY Dismissive of Equally Qualified and/or more Superiorly Qualified People of Color!! living within or outside of Our supposedly Great Nation?!? while trying to convince viewers that the News Hour and other shows ARE So Progressive and Diverse!! that we as viewers must be TOTALLY STUPID!! for not supporting such a fine station.

Fact # 3. - on the issue of Being Informative!! No Nonsense, more or less HONEST!! Being Thought-Provoking!! and Endeavoring NOT to Insult the Intelligence of the viewer!! You get an “A+ squared” .

Fact # 4. - on the issue of staff! they get a “C”, only because of the “Tokens!!“ Mrs. Gwen Ifill, Mr. Ray Suarez, Mr. Hari Sreenivasan, and Mr. John Yang, who ALL are EXCELLENT at their jobs!!! while again Everyone else is Lilly white!! and equally Good at their jobs!! The news panel - the abrasive and self-important!! Mr. David Brooks, where as big as the NY Times is! Can only find someone White!! Though my family much preferred Mr. David Bashloff!!! Mr. Mark Shield, resident historian! is ok! As is Mrs. Judy Woodruff, Mr. Jeffrey Brown, Mrs. Margaret Warner, and Mr. Paul Simon . However their MYOPIC 2016 political panel, ONLY White!!! for the WHOLE Year!!! No Black Perspective! No Asian Perspective!!! No Non-White Hispanic Perspective!! their legal panel - Mrs. Marsha Coyl, white BUT AMAZINGLY Knowledgeable, Well Spoken, and EXTREMELY Capable of explaining Our Laws in a way that is TRULY ALWAYS!! Appreciated!!! and Deserves a BIG Raise!! and their so called “Panel of Experts” and correspondents?!? ABSOLUTELY White and DEVOID of Equally Qualified and Capable Individuals of other Cultures and Ethnicities in the year 2016 and beyond . HONESTLY this news program should Be Three Solid Hours Long!!! Just for the excellent investigations!! But I am biased when compared to the level of entertaining news of other second-rate local channels!! Catering to all our Cell-Phone Zombies .

Fact # 5. - on the issue of Common Sense investigative questions on behalf of the Greater Good for this DIVERSE society!! You get a “B+” for choosing “Sound-bites” over identifying the Real questions!!! that Rational Intelligent Adults would REALLY Ask!!! Like asking republicans, WHY they keep alleging the Obama administration! Is at fault!!! When according to Our Constitution your control of the House of Representatives! TOTALLY Means that YOU!!! as a republican!! ARE in Control and More importantly YOUR IN-ACTION is the ACTUALL PROBLEM?!? or EXACTLY How an individual working for one of your Privatized republican companies!! and ONLY being offered under 32 Part-time hours, mandated to be ‘On-Call’!! and ONLY Earning Minimum Wages With No Benefits!! is expected to live in a $1,200.00 per month apt., afford a $60.00 per month utility bill, spend $120.00 per month on transportation to work, $200.00 on Food, and still be expected to purchase luxuries to keep your other business partners in business?!?

And you Wonder Why Viewers, Are So Reluctant to Support a TOP Rated station, that DOES NOT!!! Represent Our Perspective!!! Nor has enough Successful individual’s who ACTUALLY Look Like Us!!! and our Children CAN Aspire to Become!! or Contribute Equally as any Intellectual College Graduate!! Who’s Voice, Opinion, and Perspective Are VALUED!! and RESPECTED!!!

Where is That INTELLIGENT Perspective?!? in the Station’s and in the Corporation for Public Broadcasting’s PERSPECTIVE . Intelligent Viewers would like to KNOW!!! before actually supporting such Lack of DIVERSITY with our economic power .

Finally!! As a Loyal viewer!! It is a Total SHAME!!! That the PBS News Hour was So DISCRIMINATORY Against people of Color in the Whole election coverage!! Where were the Intelligent Voices of DIVERSITY?!? Like Ms. Zerlina Maxwell?!? or Others!! to offer viewers an Observational Perspective that represented the GROWING Majority! That wasn’t centered around ONLY the White perspective?!? More Importantly!! Who Will Be the African AMERICAN!! that we Can Identify with!! and Looks like Us!!! Replacing Mrs. Gwen IIfel?!? to as you claim EVERY Day?!? to Provide a DIVERSE Perspective of Todays Worldwide and/or Global events?!? and even More Important than that, Why in 2017 are All your So called experts So Lilly-White?!? Where ARE the Experts who LOOK like Us?!? Be they Dark skinned Hispanics, Asians, or African AMERICANS!! that offer our DEVERSIFIED Observations!! that Are TRULY Beyond the conceptualization of any white person who has NEVER Lived our experiences!!! Within this otherwise Great nation of ours . This consistent DISCRIMINATION!! Is one of the Reasons many Don’t feel obligated to support the show’s TOTAL LACK FAIRNESS!! DIVERSITY!! or RESPECT!!! for OUR Voice on matters that affect All Fellow U.S. Citizens . Why is it?!? The News Hour Doesn’t have Mrs. Judy Woodworth as Sr. reporter, and journalists to Represent the Dark skinned Hispanics perspective, someone to Represent the Asian perspective, someone to Represent the African AMERICAN perspective!! and someone to Represent the Muslim’s of Color!! ALL at the SAME Time!!! So viewers have the EVERYDAY BENEFIT of a wider Perspective!! of ALL our Fellow U.S. Citizen’s!! as we continue to Build a BETTER FUTURE . Why is it?!? This Broadcasting Dictatorship is ONLY presenting the Singular White perspective in 2017 while criticizing trump for Doing the SAME EXACT THING . THANK you!!! for these few moments of your Valuable time!! and have a Very Blessed day!! .

I was tremendously impressed by the job Steve Inskeep did tonight and if his strong performance continues, I hope he is under serious consideration as an anchor.

We watch most every night.
