Feedback:
I no longer can listen to Weekend Edition because of Ayesha Rascoe's voice. I think she has the worst sounding voice on radio and she should be moved to a research position. Get her off the air!

As a public broadcasting network, you are compelled to maintain a strict nonpartisan and nonpolitical stance in all its activities. Fulfill your charter please.

Honest coverage of RFK Jr. Campaign

New York
Feedback:
As the 2024 election cycle ramps up it is important to have a well informed public and honest coverage of those running. RFK Jr. Is a serious candidate in this race, however, mainstream coverage by outlets such as NPR tend to hyper fixate on out of context clips or other dishonest takes. Journalists need to realize what he is taking on - corporate capture of our government and government agencies. Instead of writing about pharmaceutical industries corruption, the media calls him anti-vax. The argument he makes is much deeper than what’s covered. I can say much more but will keep this brief Please have him on NPR or ensure a wider spectrum of journalists covering this extremely important matter. Our democracy depends on it.

Lack of nonpartisan reporting- excluding RFK Jr

Massachusetts
Feedback:
You are leaving out coverage of RFK Jr and you are supposed to be nonpartisan and getting funding to be so. Shame on you. I use to be an everyday listener but no more. By the way, he has many good and solid things to say about gov't, policy, the Constitution, as well as, health, chronic disease, food, and the environment. For supposedly being a more "intellectual" thought org, I would think you would intensely interested to hear what he has to say.

Please report fairly

I do not feel like when I listen to NPR I'm getting all the facts. The tone is so ridiculous these days. Also, who haven't we heard from RFK? Or Trump? I get it, you don't like them, so what! This is public funded. We All deserve to hear it all. When you were on the first cares bill I know you were going to go way way off the mark. Could you please come back to normal, you were the best of the best at once point. Thank you DLM

Dear CPB I am writing to you regarding NPR. I stopped funding NPR a few years ago, when i saw the dramatic shift to the far left. I am disappointed that NPR has taken this direction. Has CPB provided any guidance to help return NPR to the center. As you, and hence they, are funded by all American taxpayers, i would think it is your fiduciary duty to ensure NPR takes a balance approach. Your and their website speak strongly about Diversity, but diversity should go beyond race - it should include diversity of thought. Sadly it seems that NPR has lost its compass, and CPB has failed its mandate. I encourage the members of your board and management to reinstitute the balance and fairness that was once the hallmark of NPR. You and they are funded by all of America, and its your sacred trust to represent all of America Please get to work Sincerely C*******s M******y

Partisan programming

Feedback:
I listened to NPR for 25 years and donated $ every year, but the last four or five years have seen a dramatic change. They were always left leaning, but now they are just as left as MSNBC. They proved it during Covid and then now with their blatant ignoring of RFK Jr. The last straw for me came when Jenn White on 1A started referring to expectant mothers as 'pregnant people'. Enough is enough. No more money and no more listening to your propaganda.

Presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr

California
Feedback:
I am a big fan of my local PBS station in San Diego. However I have yet to see any coverage of Mr Kennedy and his campaign messages that resonate with people nationwide and NPR seems to be ignoring him. The CPB is supposed to be non partisan in its funding. As an American I'd appreciate seeing and hearing from all my choices for president. Thank you, Erin

RFK JR. Is polling in the double digits nationally yet NPR appears to be solely focused on the two major party candidates. Public broadcasting is supposed to be politically non-biased….

Unfair and biased coverage

Virginia
Feedback:
You have purposely NOT been covering RFKjr. As a presidential candidate. He is polling 10-15% and has a serious chance of getting in the White House. You are supposed to be non-partisan in your coverage. Why not cover RFKjr.? He just named his VP Shanahan. There is a lot to report on the. The silence on this issue is deafening!

Robert F Kennedy, Junior

New York
Feedback:
I am appalled at the lack of coverage of this man’s campaign. He is in the lead with voters under 35 and in swing states in voters under age 49. He is doing well with Hispanics, people who have never voted and extremely well within Independents. Where is the coverage? You’re supposed to be non-partisan? Where is the outrage about his lack of Secret Service protection? Where is the coverage of his vice presidential pic? What is going on here?
