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.

Morning Edition

Ohio
Feedback:

You know, some of my friends get angry at NPR’s quotidian promotion of left-wing narratives without pushback or skepticism, such as this morning’s piece on crime by far-left activist Sandhya Dirks. But I, on the contrary, believe that NPR helps the Right. NPR is almost a caricature of a certain type of urban leftist with a big megaphone. Voters and consumers may be as dumb as Dirks and the like implicitly believe, but they know when they are being condescended to, so keep up the segments telling them that issues of violent crime, inflation, illegal immigration, a general public anomie, etc., are the result of their gullibility and imagination, and ‘racist’ as well. In large parts of this country, now, such products of the legacy media help turn swing voters, such as those fabled ‘suburban wimen’, toward pulling the lever for the GOP.

I think Don Henley can be the next vice president of the United States of America. Don has experience as an elected official and is a veteran of the army special services in the Americas. He can write the lyrics to his speeches and he can write the theme songs to his traveling election campaign. He has recent and relevant experience.

Enough! NPR’s political bias is so skewed, it has become intolerable.

There is a well known ‘game’ in politics called, “Lets play Democrats and Republican.”

My older brother just died at 83. At no time in his entire, adult life did he ever vote for a candidate, although he dutifully voted in every election. He signed over, carte-blanche, his entire voting rights to the Republican Party at twenty one and never looked back.

If the powers that be can get everyone playing the ‘game’, they can hide a tone of unqualified, corrupt, and special-interest candidates from prying eyes.

And your stations are right in there with the best of them playing the ‘game’.

Enough already! You are suppose to be autonomous and free to point out the corrupt practices of the political parties, not digging-in to help them.

PBS News Hour

New Jersey
Feedback:

If and when Judy Woodruff retires, please consider Geoff Bennett as the next host to replace her. His weekend coverage is very good, he has a pleasant voice and would be the best choice. I'm sorry that Hari is no longer around. He would also be a good choice as a host for the News Hour.

Note from CPB: Thank you for contacting the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). CPB does not produce programming or employ journalists. Sharon Rockefeller, President and CEO of WETA and President of NewsHour Productions has named PBS NewsHour chief correspondent Amna Nawaz and chief Washington correspondent and PBS News Weekend anchor Geoff Bennett as co-anchors of the nightly newscast, succeeding Judy Woodruff, who has solo-anchored PBS’s nightly news broadcast since 2016.

Why isn’t the NYT covering the rape of this middle aged female? Another reason why the media can’t be trusted to report fair, balanced, accurate news.

I wish more Fox, Newsmax, and other media outlets’ viewers would watch truthful and useful news as presented by your well-balanced and professional staff. But it will take Trump’s jailing along with his henchmen, and their acolytes dismissed from power, to truly open their minds. Too much to hope for?
