My name is G.L. M******s. I am the Founder Emeritus Of "Universal Project for Human Development Incorporated" and author of the book based on the Project entitled, "From the Ghettoes to the Promised Land". Due to the materials and concepts, I introduce everywhere I go, I feel it important to sign in with the media for coverage of my activities. Such activities as the introduction of a "Roxbury Stock Exchange Plaza", here in Roxbury, Massachusetts. I am grateful for the opportunity to share with the nation, what I feel will help black America remember the parting words of the late, great Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We as a people will get to the Promised Land in these United States of America.

You are still deducting money from our account, so that is the same. Could you please check this out and fix the problem? Thank you very much. Robert and Judith Jerome

frontline--lies, politics, and decmocracy

Oklahoma
Feedback:

As I watched this frontline episode, I have no doubt that everything in the episode is true. Our nation is truly under siege by politicians in both parties. Trouble is when the media decides to take side too! While being true, this episode is so distorted to one side(of course left) that many years from now, people will view this episode and think just how terrible Trump and the Republicans were. What they won't be able to know is that the right AN!D the left were disgusting! Tell the truth! This is PBS, our country deserves dedicated programming that has not been butchered by media bias. I have no problem with the reporting of what Trump did--but what about the Democrats? What did they do? And how was the media complicit in shaping the narrative just like this episode? Just terrible bias--and am NO Trump supporter

FRONTLINE: Lies, Politics and Democracy

Tennessee
Feedback:

This "documentary" was nothing short of a campaign contribution to the Democratic nominee in the 2024 Presidential election. There were SO MANY untruths about President Trump--things that have already been proven to be false, yet you continue the narrative. Not only was Trump portrayed in the worst possible light, but NONE of his accomplishments were even mentioned. DID YOU CONSULT WITH A SINGLE REPUBLICAN BEFORE YOU PUT OUT SUCH CATEGORICALLY FALSE PROPOGANDA?? OBVIOUSLY this was a hit-job by the Democrat party in an ALL-OUT EFFORT to sway the 2024 Presidential election and you happily obliged to participate. It's absolutely despicable. PBS lacks ANY sort of objectivity whatsoever. I will be contacting my elected representatives in order to STOP MY TAX DOLLARS from funding your channel.

New Cheeze Toast Jazz

Feedback:

Hello 

I want to find where to send my new song for the radio. 

I think you’re going to like this groovin tune and the genre is like Funk Rock. I’ve performed it live often, and Strangers point and say “Cheeze Toast” when they see me, months later. True!

It’s broadcast ready and I can send as .mp3 or .wav. and details for the song too. Cheers  Larry

Pledge drive

Massachusetts
Feedback:

Donated during a pledge drive many many many months ago. The pledge gift of a glass bowl never showed up, despite my two follow up phone calls. It was to be a birthday gift from my husband to me. I’m older, no bowl. Not a good way to run a railroad! Very disappointed. Not planning to donate again.

"Viewers like you."

Arizona
Feedback:

Isn't that slogan more than a little ancient?! I've never liked the inference that it's other viewers who are like me who support the programming, but that I am exempt. Besides, constant repetition of the same trite phrasing simply becomes noise to the viewers. Our public stations need all the support they can muster. I've been a public station member for decades as the promotions seem to remain the same. In addition, I've been an announcer on two different public radio networks.

I neither request nor need a reply from your offices.

Suicide

Florida
Feedback:

The lack of research done on your program about suicide was amazing. When someone calls the cops on you, you are arrested and put face down in the back of a police car. Taken to the hospital and held for a couple days. Then put on the street with no help or plan for help. Unless you have money of course, but how many people are there because of money ,and this awful society we live in. 15 billion to help Ukraine, but I can't get help. Forgiving all the student loans, but I can't get help. Your program will make it worse for people. When you ask for help and you don't get it it's worse. That program did nothing to show how lacking the society is in helping our own.

US and the Holocaust

Missouri
Feedback:

An excellent and moving film until the last five minutes of Part 3, when the storyline left the Holocaust and shifted to blacks, their "oppression", and Lyndon Johnson. What a huge mistake...this detracted a great deal from this otherwise excellent show. It left me convinced Ken Burns has gone woke and lost his mind.

The program showed a tipi/teepee as a living quarter. I believe they lived in wigwams or wetus, which were more huts and had some permanency as a structure. The tipi was used by mostly Native American plains and some southwestern nations

2021 Jan. 6 the American attack on freedom

Ohio
Feedback:
The seizures of precious policies are critical views of principles and security. Undelegated authority of misleading communications over resources of liberty and justice was compromised. Todays accused Senators and State Representatives is escalating violence over racist assaults of criminal opportunities. Citizenship is to unite and motivate equality of independence to consolidate prosperity and sacrifice. Committees must help immigration by reinforcing affordable housing. Enthusiasm of pursuit over a administration of positive remarks and philanthropy will change our world as we know it in the future.

UKRAINE WAR--WHAT ABOUT CAUSE AND EFFECT? ACCORDING TO BILLY MEIER, MOUTHPIECE FOR PLEJAREN ETS* SINCE BIRTH (see futureofmankind.co.uk for more info) For books and DVDS see theyfly.com. WE EARTH HUMANS HAVE A LOT TO LEARN ABOUT THE UNIVERSAL LAW OF 'CAUSE AND EFFECT' SO WHAT KIND OF 'CAUSE AND EFFECT' IS HEADING MR. PUTIN'S WAY FOR THE UNPROVOKED INVASION OF UKRAINE? WELL MAYBE A -911- WILL BE HEADING FOR THE KREMLIN AFTER THE WAR IS OVER, AND BECAUSE OF HIM, WHAT'S LEFT OF UKRAINE JOINS N.A.T.O. !! *who were ' spot -on' about the COVID - 19 pandemic months before the official beginning PROOF THAT MEIER IS NOT A HOAX? 1.) "The Beamship Footage" video from the 1970s 2.) new book - "Billy Meier True or Hoax" by Christian Frehner 3,) in- advance- Data on Covid before the pandemic hit (2019) no joke, IF TAKEN SERIOUSLY, COULD HAVE SAVED MILLIONS OF LIVES AND TRILLIONS OF $s (PLejarens still researching origin of COVID-see recent contact report) 4.) ASK any FORMER GOV. REMOTE VIEWER about Meier and whether they RVed him and his farm and watch them turn RED If they say they didn't, they're lying ! PBS TV COULD DO A FRONTLINE or OTHER on UFOS and ET s and what they are telling us.- correction, - trying to tell us. How about a trip to Switzerland MY VIEW, BUT....IF everyone on the planet believed the PJs were real it would violate their prime directive
